In this case maybe this was the crews last trip and they wanted an easy leg, kick off 100 plus passangers, easy leg for the cabin crew.

You know "shoelu" you guys got our guys coming over to the SWA side and you compare this incident to an accident instead of embracing it as good decision made by a co-worker. You guys got mocked as "he!!" for kicking "short-skirt" girl off an airplane. But yet your comments make sure you distance yourself from us. You guys amaze me. When does the team start to kick in---Oh, I know, when the last AirTran guy retires in 2090

Go deal with the people in question for a while and then come back and talk to us about their social skills (or lack thereof), demeanor, and downright hostility towards women in general (most FAs).

Are you flipping high?! Obviously you've never dealt with NY Hasidic Jews. How about giving the crew some credit? I'll agree with you that some FAs are out of control and downright nasty with pax, but the fact that they had to throw 100 of them off should say something about just how misbehaved they were.

And now it's about religion. Their religion has nothing to do with how they act in public. Unfortunately, I have met some arrogant hasids but by no means are 100% of hasids arrogant or self-entitled.

Lets think about that for a sec.

How many family-related attorneys do you think they are in a group of 100 Jewish kids from NY.

Just saying...
