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).

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.

When does the team start to kick in---Oh, I know, when the last AirTran guy retires in 2090
But I digress from the topic at hand....

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.

I highly doubt the crew gave a rat's ass what religion, color or sex they were. If truth be told, some of the most arrogant/entitled passengers are middle-aged white businessmen!

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...
