I guess we will see what the Ministry of Love thinks about removing people from aircraft for praying in public .......

I still believe the flight crew acted properly - that is the way it is now days - if they can't deal with they need to go back to the middle east and dodge road side bombs like our folks

So what. No we are supposed to feel sorry for these types. I don't think so. Let us not forget what these people from the Middle East did to us on September 11, 2001.

No one has a given right to fly any carrier or go to any store.That will be the basis of the defense.

I think the flight crew's actions will be shown to be appropriate. In law, the standard for assessing an airline's decision to refuse to transport passengers is a very lenient one, basically requiring only that the airline's decision not be arbitrary or capricious. If the crew acted in good faith and for a rational reason, their actions will be found to be appropriate.

Basically, the standard is akin to a "better safe than sorry" mentality.

This is very interesting to me.

Note the comments defending the crew actions, all without knowing what the lawsuit is about.

BTW, I seem to be the only person who talked with an ALPA committee chair who put out a report on the incident. Seems your cabin crews did a lot of things wrong, at least from the perspective of the captain, the only person interviewed by ALPA. The captain admitted that by the time he got involved the FAs had allowed the cabin to get out of control. I do believe the captain made the proper decision.

Imans? :blink:

a group of scary models from the movie Boomerang?

I think the word you are looking for is IMAMS. 🙄

True, unless they can prove that they were descriminated against, which seems to be reported as the basis of the lawsuit.

 

[N965VJ]

The men said they had done nothing that should have been suspicious.

They just like collecting seat belt extensions.

Why would the FAs give anyone a seat belt extension who obviously did not need one? I mean, if a thin person used a seat belt extension, would that then mean that they are not secure in their seat?

Just curious.

I'd be willing to bet HP will settle out of court, maybe giving the IMAMs mosque free tickets.....

Right! You do not have a "constitutional right" to fly; but you do have a "statutory right" to make and enforce contracts like white people can... and yes, that includes the "contract of carriage" you enter when you buy an airline ticket.

That "statutory right" however, is subject to the Airline's right and broad discretion to remove passengers for safety reasons.

The basis of the defense is that the actions of the crew was reasonable under the applicable circumstances. The fact that the authorities saw fit to detain the individuals for extensive questioning provides ample proof of the reasonableness of the actions despite the fact that they were eventually released.

That said, I still have questions about whether or not the individuals were treated reasonably the following day when they were refused passage after having been cleared by authorities. I'm not sure that was handled properly.
