Its really dumb of the attendant to be rude to any passenger let alone a man with a powerful radio voice. They should fire the dude.

I’m sending this article to a someone I know in AA to see what the protocol is for this type of discourtesy.

AA cannot afford this behavior nor can it afford a boycott.

Most male flight attendants are gay and most “out” gays believe that anyone who opposes gay marriage is a “hater”. So, I agree that the issue is one (homosexual) employee, not an airline. However, since that one employee was representing AA, the story IS about the airline. If AA doesn't investigate this and reprimand the flight attendant, then the story does become one about an airline.

I watched the Neeleys cooking show a few times. They didn’t really do any recipes that I thought I had to have. Of course as a Texan thats to be expected who else does better barbeque then us?

My guess is the Resturant and the Airlines will feel this for sometime to come... Conservatives are a loyal lot and once dissed, they let it be known with their dollars. To AA and the Resturant, you are the new GM, my guess it the word has gotten back to them and they might even be in a giant awe &H!+ mode...

I started flying in uniform in 1966 and believe me, they treated everyone like gold - even those of us on military standby.
But by the time I returned from VN in '68, people's attitudes toward the VN War (and VN vets) had changed significantly.
Were United's stews as opinionated as AAs? Eastern Air Lines? Pan Am? Perhaps.
But that was the last time I flew while in the service so, personally, I'll never know.

Back when I was doing a lot of coast-to-coast flying, I always flew America West. Their frequent flyers program started upgrading you to First Class after 25,000 miles.

Once in First Class, I noticed that the flight attendants would go back into coach and fill any empty First Class seats with any active service military they could locate.

I got to sit next to a young Marine from Monessen, PA, who was heading home for Christmas who was blown away by the idea that he was getting this kind of treatment.

For those service personnel who they couldn’t upgrade, the flight attendants always paid them a little extra attention. It was little stuff, like hanging a young officers pressed uniform in the employees’ locker at the back of the plane so it wouldn’t get wrinkled in the overhead, but you could tell the guys really appreciated it.

I haven’t flown them much since they acquired USAirways and adopted the larger airlines name as their own so I don’t know if they still make that extra effort.

AA hired the queer and is therefore responsible for it’s conduct. (how do we know that he is deviant?)

As a jew faggot, the steward(ess) is just mad because he’s in the wrong line of work. He should be in the ‘mainstream’ media like so many of his ideological twins.

There, he could make movies, TV shows, commericals and enforce the blacklist against the likes of Clint Eastwood.

I hope you do. If a black person or a gay person was singled out like Mr. Beck was -obviously because of his political beliefs- in their cases because of skin color or sexual orientation, that would be grounds for a lawsuit.

How they can even think that their behavior is acceptable is beyond me- but it is in some places so they continue unchecked. I informd a former co-worker who HATED all Republicans with a passion that there was no difference between her and a Klan member. It was like throwing holy water in the devil’s face. This flight attendant reminds me of the people who refused service at the lunch counters to black people.

And same goes for the restaurant people. Shame on them.

I don’t fly. I refuse to fly. I have had it with airlines years ago and will not fly any more. If I cannot drive there I don’t go. Took my wife to her family reunion back in June. Drove from Alabama to Oshkosh, Wisconsin and back. Refused to take easy way out and fly. Nope, I sat in the car and drove 1850 miles round trip. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Did not have to get groped. Did not have too put up with people like this. Simply refuse to fly. I plan to make one flight and that is at the Rapture of the Church and fly away to meet my Lord in the air. That is the one and only one I will make.

You can’t get there from the normal Alaska Airlines web site. You have to know about it.

You just need to , "Can I get a discount if I'm gay?"

"Well, don’t bother with Alaska Airlines. They are THE homosexual airline...They sometimes offer deals there that are better than for the rest of their customers."

Their luggage takes up less space since they spend more time getting their sh!t packed.

This is about an employee (hostile homosexual), not an airline.

This is about an employee believing he can behave in a hostile manner toward a known conservative, without concern about employer response. In the comments on the Glenn Beck were a number of people reporting hostile treatment at AA when the flew wearing military uniform. This appears to be a pattern.

If AA was serious about courteous treatment for ALL customers, they would occasionally have an exec arrange to accompany a military person, Catholic priest, or other type of person who might receive hostility from the PC crowd, and note staff rudeness, noting down names for recommended termination for cause.

Ignorance has no bounds.

My daughter and I saw GB simulcast in a theater a couple yrs back and he was sooo good I got tears in my eyes.

But if any of you read my post about dropping my daughter off at college recently, you’d know I cry kinda easily. Just feel so sad lately, with everything that’s happening to my country and all.

I didn’t stay with Glenn for his whole show. For the amount of money he makes I was surprised he wasn’t flying on his own plane or private charter in the first place.

I’m completely with you on that.

It’s why I say to them there is a reason there is no “adulterer’s pride” parades. It would be offensive. It should be.

I actually wrote to AA’s customer service department asking that this incident be investigated. I explained that until AA commented on it publically with the investigation’s findings, my family and I would choose another air carrier for our travel needs.
