It's up to WN. WN is putting the magazine in its seatback pockets; the magazine, like other airlines' in-flight magazines, represents the carrier. Whether or not it chooses to act, WN (and, one suspects, other airlines) is (are) supporting this man--an admitted wife-beater--by publishing and distributing a magazine that includes his advertising.

I'd have a different take if WN was to distribute a selection of non-WN magazines to pax, although I'm sure some pax would have concerns about particular titles.

I think the only requirement for an ad to appear is that your money is green. Certainly not limited to WN.

The ads of his I see on TV are beyond creepy. I think the "Stepford Wives" comparison that someone else made is apt.

In one of the TV ads, it's looks like the daughter that chimes in with the "Daddy's Baby Girl" thing, is like a puppet in the ad.

Creepy, creepy indeed.......

You are right. Since you are a RN, you know where to look for licensing disciplinary info! ^

But then you have to pay to get the info.

IMhO 27.09 is a bit much for a web based record.
