>>ATA BKed recently. Wonder why.

AirTran is not the same thing as ATA. I realize all those little remote-controlled models look alike in Radio Shack, but ATA and AirTran are completely unrelated companies.

It must suck to be a counter boy at the ‘Shack. You should get Mom to take you to the airport sometime and look at the big planes.

“When you get past whatever paranoia caused this family to be mistreated, you apologize and try to get their life and travels back on course – if you’re actually an airline worth doing business with.”
According to news reports, that’s exactly what the airline is trying to do. Offered to refund their ticket purchase and give them a free ride home. They say it was the pilot’s decision to have them removed but, by the time he was called upon to make the decision, the plane was surrounded by police, the family had been the subject of questioning by two air marshals (TWO? On a flight with only a hundred passengers?) If he’d allowed the family to fly at that point he would probably have had problems with the rest of the passengers. By the way, why did the air marshals get involved at all? They were still at the gate. Shouldn’t the police and/or FBI have handled it? (Note to future terrorists: To identify the air marshals on your flight, have a group of sacrificial lambs raise a ruckus while still at the gate.) SNAFU

That also appllies to religious folk and the few who don’t thump at their rhythm.

But everybody knows the safest place to sit is the chair where the black box is hidden – as that is often the only part that is retrieve intact, and you should be strapped to it???

“Driving while Black” is so 90s. Now it is “Flying while Muslim.”
