I, for one, thank him for his service.

quote:

A United Airlines pilot has been charged in a bizarre ax attack earlier this month in which he savaged a parking arm at a Denver International Airport employee parking lot, causing an estimated $700 in damage. Police say the pilot, Kenneth Henderson Jones, told them "He just hit his breaking point."



Video of the incident on on Aug. 2 obtained by CBS News Colorado showed the 63-year-old pilot armed with a full-sized ax. In the video, he chops at the parking arm at the exit gate of an employee parking lot 23 times until he knocked the parking arm off its base.



According to a police report, Jones also said he was trying to leave but he estimated there were six cars in line at each of the three exit gates. Airport administrators said there have been issues with the lot as people don't have proper permits. Deputies say Jones told them he "was trying to get rid of issues for everyone waiting."

He should have done it the United way and crashed through it.

Dude is lucky he didn't take one to the foot with aim like that.

I’d like to know why he’s got a Viking combat axe just sitting in his car.

Anybody carry around axes in their cars, or is this dude strange to begin with?

Mandatory retirement at 65. I think they recently increased the retirement age to 67 due to pilot shortages.

Travels with an axe? I don’t want a pilot who has so little self control.

Question is why does the dude have an ax on his person? Talk about someone that’s prepared

He’s 63 and works for a major US airline. I’m assuming he’s had enough self control not to frick anything up for at least 49 years.

Just break it off with a utility trailer. That's what I did. Also got the rule made at the Shaw building to not bring utility trailers into the garage. Sorry baws. I was the second one to do it fwiw.
