When I read the title, I guessed what it was about. This happened here in my home town. Just a few nights earlier I was downtown for a New Years celebration and they were selling those green light lasers all over the place. I told Leslie that we would probably be seeing incidents like this in the next few days. I just never thought it would be a kid from the local ATP school.
I didn't mean it to be a reflection on ATP. But the fact that a student pilot from ANY school would do such a thing is incredible.I don't see how him being a student with atp is relevant. He was/is a student pilot who should have known better but it's not like they gave him the laser pointer. If it was a mom and pop place I'm guessing no one would have mentioned it. I'm not defending atp. I went there, I know how they operate and wouldn't do it again but that's a common sense thing that dumb ass clearly didn't figure out

That was directed at you. There was somrone else that mentioned it as of course it was atps fault.I didn't mean it to be a reflection on ATP. But the fact that a student pilot from ANY school would do such a thing is incredible.
We flew on Southwest Airlines Christmas Eve from Portland to Phoenix. As I am wont to do on such flights, I was staring out the window trying to identify cities and towns in the dark below by the pattern of lights and nearby airports.I got hit twice by green lasers, not exactly the end if the world, but very annoying.
Think the second hit was one of those laser Xmas light setups.
