Both sad and shocking

The video shows how nasty they were, but also how  passengers without kippah, beards etc had their bags measured unlike what the article states.

I can't say about this story but I was part of a group of 30 people that flew back last week with them KBP-JFK, and they literally chose everyone looking Jewish to measure their hand luggage & a few guys had no choice other than to pay €150

1) Why didn’t they notify police as soon as they realized somethings wrong ?
2) Wouldn’t it all be on surveillance to see who & where it was all taken & if it was all pocketed ?

In that case this account of what happened then isn’t true...

"Professionals in the airline industry say that the chances of the passengers ever receiving their valuables is slim to none, and at best, they will get their luggage back – with nothing of value inside."

Who are these professionals?

I don't have opinions until I hear first-hand information.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
