Bruce, my friend,

That Snake P. was "posting what somebody else did" is my point exactly!

Look, now that I've made my point, I don't want to drag this thread off course. The main point is that the FA in question - and many like her - should no longer be at a job that they can no longer handle. The post-9/11 circumstances should not be an excuse for intolerance and unprofessionalism, but a reminder to us *all* of what we're about, what we're doing, and how we can *truly* honor the blessings we have as Americans by making the most out of them, at our jobs and in our communities. *Not* blind flag-waving, "Yeah! What he said!" solidarity, but contemplated actions that will make a meaningful contribution to our society. Getting one of your customers kicked off the airplane cause you didn't like him for whatever reason may make a great war story to tell your FA buddies. But it sure doesn't bode well for elevating the perception of some FA's as "sky waitresses" incapable of more complex thought, and certainly doesn't ride consistent with the company line to encourage more to take to the skies.

Meaningful action is what counts - not plastering your leased 40-ton SUV with flags and bumper stickers while still driving around aimlessly because you're "on the clock" and are looking to kill the 30 more minutes til quitting time.
