Default AA crew detained in Sao Paulo, will be deported

Major Brazilian media are reporting that the entire 12-person crew of the AA
flight from Miami to Sao Paulo last night which arrived this morning has
been detained and will be deported to the US today for failing to comply
with the photographing and fingerprinting requirements. The captain of the
flight flipped off the officer as he was taking his picture. It's all over
the Brazilian papers and TV today but no US source seems to have picked the
story up yet, as it just happened. No doubt it will be all over US media
later today. O Globo has it on its website which requires registration.

Only the pilot and co-pilots were U.S. Citizens, all other crew members were
Brazilian and/or columbian so there would be no reason to detain them. The
flight turned normally and returned to the United States, as scheduled, both
Captain and Second Officer at the controls.

There was no detainment, and there was no deportation.

Where do you get this ****??

Followup: Sources in Brazil are now reporting that the captain was detained
and is being held by Federal Police in Sao Paulo, the rest of crew were
denied entry into the country and are being held at the airport until
tonight when they will be put on the next AA flight back to the US.

Yeah, the captain probably thought he was being really funny. Who's laughing
now...

He's got that typical asshole look on his face that many Americans have when
they go abroad, like "Out of my way, I'm an uh-MER-uh-cun, so **** you!"

Once a redneck, always a redneck. Even if you are qualified to fly a 777...

That's certainly an unfair way to characterize Americans. I'm a U.S. citizen,
and I'm disgusted by the pilot's immature actions. He's over 50 and acting like
an adolescent. Dumb!
Every country has its yahoos.
(I've been to Brazil several times. It's a beautiful, fascinating country.)

Is that tax deductible?

"It wasn’t immediately clear where Hersh was staying Wednesday night."

Maybe they put him on a plane to Syria?
