~~PING!
The last time I flew was on AirTran. After this I might not fly on that airline anymore.
I guess muslim hijackers are now wanting cheap flights as well. AirTran better wake up and realize if they aren’t above board with this incident and another plane assault occurs with THEIR jets that’s going to hurt their bottom line a fricking hell of a lot more than pissing off a small number of muslim nutballs that were TRYING to cause a problem.
I strongly suggest everyone that feels like you about this should send AirTran a letter stating exactly that. Make sure they know they will lose money, it’s the only thing that can get them to make a better decision.
Worse still, they've made it just that more difficult for anyone to depend on air travel.
Debbie cracks me up. She is right on this one too. The story was on http://www.nationalterroralert.com/ a site I pay some attention to.
She does make a mistake. Chaplain Robinson was not on the original flight.
In fact she is mentioned directly there as of tonight! http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2009/12/03/what-happened-on-airtran-airways-flight-297/
He picked up the plane just after the incident happened upon its return to the terminal.

‘Zactly. I believe everything else. The crew and passengers didn’t refuse to fly because of an Amish on a cell phone.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
Air Tran is in full cover-up mode because Obama ordered them to cover it up.
THANKS.
Well put, imho.
Lawsuit baiting or whatever it is, such activities — and especially since they get away with them! — embolden others to continue to probe, see what they can get away with, what our vulnerabilities are, what our constraints (self-imposed!!) are...
Every time these groups of unruly muslims (or any other group) gets away with this crap, is allowed to disrupt like they are, the more the envelope will be pushed. Any parent, any teacher knows this, DUH!
I have a proposal: that we get together our own group acting in this same way. Seriously. Lets see what happens when it’s NOT a favored group doing this stuff, would WE get away with it?
And the chaplain’s name isn’t Eugene, it’s Keith

A shame isn’t it.
Whatever happened, the pilot and crew CHOSE TO NOT CONTINUE THE FLIGHT.
Whatever happened, a number of passengers (12 or so) ALSO CHOSE TO NOT CONTINUE THE FLIGHT.
The story making the rounds may be hyped up about what happened, but the AirTran story is also CLEARLY NOT THE TRUTH.
The crew and passengers WOULD NOT BE GETTING OFF FOR SUCH A MINOR INCIDENT.
I would LOVE to see proof of that!
Not that I doubt you, but proof would be SWEEEEEET!
This story is odd. I am not sure if it actually occurred as related by DS. The story has been strongly debunked by Snopes but there seems to be unanswered questions with at least one other passenger relating a somewhat similar story as Petruna.
