in a world where people are trying to promote diversity,it seems as though what is on a t shirt would not matter..however...phrases,ideas,thoughts,religous affirmations and the like are often considered fine in certain places,but not in a public front..no one is offended by products promoted on shirts,like everything nike,or even clothing from conventions promoting things for fitness saying everything from jazzercise to zumba..golf hats are the most prevelant with slogans/logos on everything from politics to joes crab shack to the pga..my point is,i don't know how the crew handled this conversation with the passenger,but flying is public transportation,and not an ad on television or on the internet...I would agree with the crew on this issue..

I heard a similar story a while back about a scorpion falling onto a passenger out of the overhead bins...my goodness..if she was stung several times,to be sure she was in pain..my queston would be how could you get dressed and do all of the moving around etcetera to board a flight,and not know a "critter" was in you pants? if the scorpion crawled up her pant leg on board the plane,surely she would have felt it then before it stung her several times...icky and very unpleasent for the lady..

The airplane reprtedly was an american eagle flight..the seats on those aircraft are all the same and there are no "better"nor bigger ones..the woman obviously doesnt fly much, and thought her "scam" would work..yes,that scam will cost her attorney fees,reimbursement to American eagle,and a lot of embarrassment due to her ignorance..

How sad for his family and friends...sometimes heart issues do not automatically show up in physicals,especially if this person had no prior symptoms or episodes..

I don't think the mayor of a city or municipality can "ban" a particular type of aircraft,unless the faa has said its unsafe to be flown,or unless the runways length and capability regarding the weight and stopping distance will not be compatable with the cities runways or facilities..why the grandstanding by this mayor, as the faa is already pushing boeing,and the airlines have already stopped using or buying that plane for a while..

the union and its representative for the pilots,have every right to voice their concerns over the continued use and purchase of boeing 737 aircraft...wn is noted for having only one aircraft in service, the 737,whichever model it may be..it seems that boeing has had ample time to correct the serious problem with the 737max,and boeing knows the airlines have contracted to buy a lot of them,so why not give more push towards boeing doing what is right and immediately putting all of their experts to work on correcting the flaw?yes,boeing shreholders and their ceo should be concerned,but not because the union suggested buying from another manufacturer,but because it is their fault there even is a problem..

commercial aircraft are open with food carts being brought on,baggage bins open for loading and unloading,and overnight cleaning..there are a number of ways"visitors"like that can get on the airplane..

although its definitely a monetary and scheduling problem for southwest and other carriers who have purchased,or have purchases orders for the 737max,knwoing an aircraft can and will function safely with passengers and crew on board is of utmost importance, and after all, these carriers business is to safely transport people from one place to another..they made the right decision until the problem is fixed..
