Wrong Bob, the police released him and the judge dismissed all the bogus charges against him. This is what happens when you rely on one source for you news, you get it wrong.

Your are absolutly correct. The airlines have become very unfriendly and the skyhelpers are as arrogant as ever. Just recently my daughter (Black) was on an airline with her 5 year daughter. A gentlemen (latino) was asked to give up his paid set so a family could be seated together. In return they wanted my daughter to give up her 5 year daught seat so the gentlemen could set down. They theaten my threaten to put my daughter off the plan saying she had a bad attitude because she refused. Remind you there were plenty of vacant seats this gentlemen could have sat in. What airlines or caring person would put a 5 year old out of their seat?

So tell me you nieve ignorant bloghead people what cards do you play?

Respect does not care about race...its colorblind and should be afforded to all...regardless. I can understand if VOsteen got upset if should couldn't sit down in the $1000 seat she has already paid for when the attendent didn't want to clean it for her...it sounds like she called for Skycap to send a cleaning person to do it instead of taking a towel and wiping it herself...It would upset me too if I had to stand around and wait on someone to come do that.

The Airlines should understand if they are going to demand top $$ for a ticket...a bit of customer service might be required in return. But their attitude is that they are entitled to act that way because? Why...because they already have your money...and 911 has made all legal entities so sensitive to their fears...We're not talking about an Arab with a bomb here...we're talking about a lady with stuff in her seat...Deal with it.

you have never been on the plane. I am sure your welfare check wouldn't cover the price. Or maybe you did get on a flight once and you assumed the flight attendant's job was to suck your little pecker and when they didn't you decided all those nasty things about us.

Nice comment Ann...kinda proved my point...Now there are exceptions and I apologize if I lumped you into the group you don't belong in..as I assume you're employed as a Flight Attendant...

But having flown for years playing ball...and for over 15 years as an Exec, not in 1st class but in coach like everyone else...and logging over 1 million miles traveled on my fflier account, I would probably say that I've been on a plane.

And again, I apologize for painting everyone into the picture. But I am extremely patient and extremely polite...and extremely large man. I consistently met people that are uncaring and extremely hostile with a chip on their shoulder in the industry. I know it's a thankless job in some respect...but understand that my crititque might be more pointed at the industry in general. Management might be able to alleviate some of the stress that FAs seem to be under.

Marilyn, if they do that, how long before they make women bring a note saying they're not PMS'ing that week? I'm a woman AND a diabetic. You can't control when high sugar hits, no matter how good you are about taking your meds or exercising. Obviously you don't know enough about diabetes. Diabetics can't always help what moods they have and the older they get, the more touchy their blood sugar becomes. They also have to deal with a lot of other problems that you have no idea about.

Who's to say this old man was in the wrong? We don't even know why he got upset in the first place. Isn't it strange that the airlines keep having these kinds of problems...lately...when a few years ago you rarely heard of any problems between passengers and the airlines? Consider the source, then think about how much arrogance is coming out of the workers for airlines these days. SOME might be pretty cool, but there are a few bad apples who think they are God because they have the power to screw with people......and then they do it! Kicking a mom and baby off of the plane because the kid was saying "Bye Bye plane" was ridiculous...making a handicapped person crawl off of a plane was cruel. Who knows what they did to this old man, but to my mind they are suspect.

pray to god one of your kids gets diabetes, or your parents, or you or hubby - get self righteous comments from others just like yourself
