A group of ultra-Orthodox passengers heading to Israel to celebrate the Jewish new year delayed an El Al flight out of JFK Airport, kvetching that they couldnt sit next to women because of religious reasons.(snip)
The Haredi travelers wouldnt sit unless they could trade their seats with other passengers, rankling the secular Jews on board the Tuesday night flight, according to Shalom Life.
I ended up sitting next to a
man who jumped out of his seat the moment we had finished taking off and proceeded to stand in the aisle.
Other passengers recalled that the black-clad rabblerousers stood in the aisle, praying loudly and causing a scene and making it impossible for others to go to the bathroom.

If you can't adjust to common practices then don't fly on commercial airlines.

On the bright side, everyone got to keep their heads attached to their bodies and the plane wasn’t blown up.

As long as they don’t yell out “Allahu Akbar” and put a knife to my throat, then I’m cool.

What's the big deal? More female company for the secular Jews.

Maybe the women refused to get them a beer when they snapped their fingers. All women should be trained to do that for men, it took me 30 years to train my wife to do that. The first 25 years were the toughest as she always threw stuff at me and would say “Get your own damn beer I’m not your maid” but then I hit on the ingenious idea by appealing to her motherly instincts by saying I hurt my knee. Simple! *snap* *snap*
“Here is your beer dear”...Now if I can just get her to stop pouring it over my head I’ll be set!

LOL!
Likely if this would’ve been moose limbs complaining (on another airline) ALL demands would’ve been instantly met....by the flight crew.
