Jump to postI feel for you since I was desperate to get an airport job when I was in high school...but like others have said it all comes down to liability and insurance.

Jump to postI'll agree with the above posters that CMI is a nice, small airport.

Jump to postNope, definitely not on any airline in the United States. Some people have had success on foreign carriers even after 9/11, but it's always a longshot. I was able to on Alitalia a few years ago and it was great...wish I had the chance to again.

Jump to postThe story doesn't give too many details about his past. They say he had "never flown a plane", but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been up flying before as a passenger.
