How can AA defend such red neck behaviour? The FA should have been dissmissed and the Pursor disciplined , who knows what they told the Captain to get the reaction he gave.

I suspect the bigoted FA made up the story of the complaints to cover herself.

The answer to the question about whether they would have reacted the same to a mixed sex couple is clearly no. There would be an outcry that even AAs pr people could not contain. You only have to read the books that FAs have written to know what mixed sex couples get away with. :
