Wow but I shouldn't be surprised. I'm embarrassed for you guys.

 

How long until this starts to happen at Mesa?

 

Never. Mesa is the shizz.

 

I should know better than to write a response......but humans while clever, are seldom wise.

I think you are wrong in that many people of conscience ("liberals" if you prefer) treat different religions differently. There may be an appearance of this due to those who practice certain religions needing their safety,freedoms, and dignity protected more so than other religions. For some years now, that religion has been Islam.

In spite of what some pundits and fear mongers say, there is no discrimination or serious backlash against those who practice their Christian religion. A woman dressed in garb we would associate with,say, the Mennonites, would not be refused a full can of coke with the statement that she could use it as a weapon. She would not be told by a fellow passenger "shut the **** up, Christian."

There has been no legislation attempted to limit the number of Christian churches.
Individuals/groups have not been booted off aircraft due to speaking/praying a foreign "Christian language" and making other pax nervous.
Christian churches have not been attacked and had their members gunned down by enraged individuals. ( the incident I am thinking of was actually a Sikh temple, not an Islamic mosque, but I gathered that to the perpetrator they were close enough...brown skin, turbans(ragheads ya know) and talked funny)
I have not heard of one instance in North America where an individual was murdered because he either was, or looked, Christian.
I know of no instance where a flight was canceled due to cabin crew concerns regarding a written letter in a foreign language found in the seat pocket that looked "Christian"
Etcetera, etcetera.

In short, in the West you don't hear of many speaking in defence of other religions, particularly the dominant one, because they don't really need defending.They are not being persecuted/discriminated against due to their religion.
Muslims are.

 

I was hoping we could not get this thread locked so we could all witness Bedford's spiral while it happened.

 

like I said...I should know better than to write a response.

No, I am not Muslim.
I do attempt to not be a bigot and to be aware of, and hence mitigate, my prejudices.
Some days I do a better job at that than other days. Part of the examined life that makes it worth living, eh Grasshopper?

 

You should know better. Next time you feel the need to respond to this type of thread debacle, don't.

The only religion garbage I expect to see on this thread is what comes directly from the reverend BB. Everything else is off topic.

Try and keep it together guys.

 

Already is... look at their performance in DFW, its abysmal.

 

But not due to lack of crews. That would be due to the company's refusal to stay organized and fix broken airplanes.

 

Can't speak for the AA CRJ side of the house, but our performance numbers on the UAL CRJ700/E175 side are very good.
