Don't get me wrong, it's bizarre if true, it's just that I have a hard time believing that a company that big are that stupid. This is their official statement They don't specify what caused the disturbance. Adam just tweeted he's going to see his lawyer. The reaction from passengers definitely looks real and worrying. Only one person stood up for him. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you don't understand the meaning of an opinion. 'Gaga can't sing' - an opinion held by many, maybe because they don't appreciate her style of singing, don't like her tone etc. An opinion isn't necessarily based on fact and therefore, it cannot be wrong.

Why are airlines giving in to bigoted uneducated people who feel "uncomfortable" because of a foreign language? You wouldn't win that case A private company such as Delta is allowed to pull anyone they want off the plane to do extra screening whenever they want for whatever reason You really think a court is going to tell a private airline that they can't have extra screening/security? I understand that this case is a little extreme but I MUCH rather have an airline err on the side of too much security rather than too little. Most importantly: I do not what flight crew/security to be too scared they might be sued for being "xenophobic" so they let someone suspicious go threw unchecked. Just like wearing a face covering in public can hide your identity, speaking a different language can hide other things as well. Still, better judgement could have been used in this case. However, had he not pulled out his phone and refused to step off the plane for a second, they probably would have let him right back on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you like to infringe on other people's rights "just to be safe", you justified this behavior before, it doesn't mean it's right. You might as well put a sign "no Arabs allowed" or airline's page. Just to be more on the safe side. #BoycottDelta was trending for hours, maybe they'll change their behavior when they start losing money. Also your last sentence, you have no way of knowing that.
