Character mistake: When Cutter is talking with Chief Biggs for the first time, right after the negotiations for fuel, Cutter says he is the former head of security for the airline. Since he has just been hired for that role (after being an independent security consultant), he should have called himself the future head of security, or new, or something of that nature. Former would indicate he has resigned from the position.

Question: How can the plane take off from this country airport when they seem so worried about a short landing?
Answer: The plane would not be able to take off from that small airport.
