acroyearThe airline was U.S. Airways, acting only on a "note from a passenger"...
Afarensis: Six Muslim Imams Put Off Plane:
Yo ms. or mister "anonymous passenger" - if you are so nervous about who you're flying with, YOU get off the fucking plane.
Of course, this is also reflective of how little faith or trust the average nutball, and the average airline worker, has in the work that TSA goes through for screening...
Afarensis: Six Muslim Imams Put Off Plane:
Sad thing was they were attending the North American Imams Federation conference in Minnesota. You'd think that since there was a conference the airlines would, you know, be cognizant of it...Apparently a note was passed by a passanger to a stewardess, who notified the pilot who asked the Imams to get off the plane. The Imams refused - they were trying to return home to Phoenix - so they were taken off the plane in handcuffs. To add insult to injury US Airways refused to put the six on another flight...Story here.If U.S. Airways doesn't get off their ass and get a LOUD public apology for blunt racism and prejudice in action out there soon, they're going to have a LOT of stockholder resentment at their planned Delta purchase, as well as loud CUSTOMER resentment from a long-time Delta customer who may cash out his 2 free frequent flyer flights and move on to another regular airline...
