Airlines have the right to refuse service to anyone who, in their judgment, is inappropriately dressed, intoxicated or otherwise in violation of their policies. The problem here was not the images. It was the "word". Good for them! The woman can complain all she wants but airlines can set their own standards. Eisboch |

Eisboch Yes..........I would defend the idiot woman's right to wear a shirt like that in any public space, but a private company has the right to establish their own standards......no different that demanding a coat and tie......no shorts etc. |

Eisboch Then, if someones rights disappear when they enter someone elses private property, our government should quit subsidizing them. Also, if the above is true, would it mean that if someone enters my property, that they have instantly 100% lost all of their rights as afforded by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc? I'll bet that while still on private property, she was read her Miranda RIGHTS!!!!! |

There was the one-time bailout following the terrorist attacks, which legislation did include what you could call indirect subsidy in the form of deferred tax payments, etc. These deferments have, I believe, all passed in the intervening 4 years. There is also a small program to subsidize essential air service to small rural communities, comprising some $120M per annum, a statistical pittance of which, I believe, Southwest does not partake. Generally speaking, though, the days are long gone when airlines were broadly subsidized by federal money across the board. |

No subsidy there, huh? ... which legislation did include what you could call indirect subsidy in the form of deferred tax payments, etc. If by "etc" you mean guaranteed bond backing & loans (grants really since nobody expectes them to be paid back, but calling it a "loan" helps mask the size of the deficit) then yep, right again. But that's not really a "subsidy" is it? I mean, what's a few billion among friends right? ... These deferments have, I believe, all passed in the intervening 4 years. Bzzzt But you're 2 for 3 here, pretty good. ... There is also a small program to subsidize essential air service to small rural communities, comprising some $120M per annum, a statistical pittance of which, I believe, Southwest does not partake. Don't know about that, if true the program doesn't work. Rural air service sucks, and that's on the east coast near the DC-Boston axis. ... Generally speaking, though, the days are long gone when airlines were broadly subsidized by federal money across the board. Other than all the subsidies and unpaid loans, yeah. But who's gonna get picky about details when you're having a nice little fascist rant? Actually I'm glad to see that you have at least a slight connection to reality, even if you forget at times. Perhaps you could keep an eye on the other members of your little club. DSK |
