So How Would You Feel If
How would you feel if the person entrusted with the safety of all "souls" on board an airline flight, announced that you were crazy if you weren't a Christian?
CNN reported today that an American Airlines pilot asked all Christians to identify themselves, and if you aren't Christian, you're crazy.
The story reports that nobody raised their hands.
Passengers were told to use their 4 1/2 hour flight "wisely" or just "sit back and watch the movie."
Apparently, passengers were so nervous after this, that they grabbed their cell phones, and the in flight phones to call loved ones, because they didn't know if this meant that their pilot was going to plow the airplane into a building or something.
What a way to raise the comfort level of passengers who are likely already a bit more nervous now than pre 9/11 about taking an airline flight. No captive audience should be put through that type of non-consensual nonsense. I wonder how the non-Christians felt on that flight.
Keep this in mind when you choose your airline carrier.
Comments
I realize there is no guaranteed separation of church and airline. But if they don't fire that guy, I won't fly their airline again. And I will write to them, as a recent addition to their frequent flyer program, to tell them why. That sounds like harrassment to me. The last thing we need is unstable people flying our airplanes.
