How are airlines still in bussiness with so many lawsuits?

Because they keep creating new fees to generate more revenue that people will bitch about but continue to pay.

Seems like the airline industry likes to complain that it's hard to make a buck, and then they buy trouble by giving a fuck what people wear, and what they say to each other, and throwing people off their planes for ridiculously stupid made-up fucking shit.

Idiots going out of their fucking way to find trouble, if you ask me.

You almost wonder if the whole thing could have been fixed by direct confrontation. As in, if the flight attendant would have walked up to the guy and told him to watch his language or they will turn that plane around right now!

Then they'd be known as the airline that treats you like family!

Somebody needs to hire you for their PR...

You know what's really fucking ghey? How the pilot always turns around, even if he is closer to the destination than to the origin. :skep:

oh you can't have direct confrontation anymore, that might offend someone.....you say and do nothing to the person directly and bitch to everyone else about it later.

Interesting how everyone's WTF'ing this case, but everyone cheered the one with the idiot that got Donkey Kong'ed off the Amtrak.

There's a difference between one statement (that probably everyone who's ever endured air travel has said at one time or another) and someone yapping on their phone for 16 hours in an area designated to be free of such annoyances. Also, the train lady was asked to be quiet and got pissy. I don't see where anyone asked the guy on the plane to please refrain from such language - they just booted his ass off.

Was the "shut the fuck up" light on overhead? I'm guessing no.

I get it, but maybe he was being a belligerent ass and they have a non-confrontational belligerent ass policy.

Maybe?

It says right in the thread title that he was talking like a NY'er.

Belligerent assedness is implied.

He was 'embarrassed' by being thrown off the plane, but not for swearing in front of a bunch of strangers? Tough shit. Suck it up. While this seems to be an over reaction, on the part of the flight crew, I fail to understand why people feel the need to swear, with impunity, in public places.

After flying from Albany to Dulles on Sunday and getting talkeddown to and cursed at by a 70 year old Guido... I doubt he just mentioned one "fuck" quietly to the person next to him.

Just sayin'

Agreed. When people use it as an 'adjective', they are rarely miserly in the number of nouns that they modify.

That.

I'll never understand people that are scared of a "bad" word. Though I choose to respect their sissiness and just smile politely and mumble my true thoughts.. :angel:

Canadians can swear up a blue streak too, especially Torontonians and Easterners. I'm an Easterner born, living in Toronto. Trust me, when I say that I don't need an education in that regard ;)

Still, when you're in a public situation, rather than with family or friends, it's seen as *polite*, to not tell people to cram their asinine opinions up their over-used bidirectional sphincters. Just for example.
