... a danger?
Children's author removed from flight for wondering ... was taking so long.

:eek: Jeez...I guess we all had better watch our "potty-mouths" from now on! This is frightening, because I too have a tendancy to use a lot of four-letter words when I am tired and frustrated. I guess the 1st amendment doesn't apply to air travel in general after all. Wow, just, wow!

Every day, when I read this forum, I always think of the phrase 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Another example of I can so therefore I will. I hope they hold this flight attendant accountable for their actions.

The day they figure out how to read my mind?
I'll be put in a cage for the rest of my life. |
He was, by his own account, feeling tired. The plane was not taking off. The explanation that there was a problem with the overhead compartments did little to soothe his irritation, he said. And so, to no one in particular, he wondered aloud, using coarse language, what was taking so long. "I said the f-word," Sayegh said. Perhaps, he recalled, he said it twice. A flight attendant seated near Sayegh took offense. Soon he was being led off the plane by police. "The ironic part is I'm putting a children's book out in August so this wasn't the kind of press I was looking for," he added, saying there are no obscenities in the book. |
I guess I'd better not try to read THIS children's book on the aircraft...

Probably too much to hope that the flight attendant was immediately fired. Way too much to hope that they never end up in another position where they might actually have to interact with a human being.

A Brooklynite cursing? How could that be dangerous, or even unusual?
A lot of them use curse words as adjectives on a regular basis. |

A lot of them use curse words as adjectives on a regular basis. It's just a matter of faulty assumption that the passenger was removed because he posed a danger. Atlantic Southeast Airline being a privately owned company, they can choose to deny boarding to anyone they don't want to carry. If the CEO of the airline just decided he didn't want any passengers who use the F-word in earshot of his employee - the airline can make it a policy to deplane any passenger who utters the F-word. |
