If you want on or off my aerospace ping list, please contact me by Freep mail.
I don't see a problem here. It is a family friendly company. The employee and his butt-buddy do not constitute a family.
Not yet anyway.
Weird. My parents get "companion passes" from USAirways, and they're good for the employee and whoever is with him, no questions asked regarding the relationship of the "companion."
NWA is playing the fool here.
I think there is more to this story than is being told.
I think Northwest is going to lose. While everyone was cheering that Arnold vetoed Gay Marriage last September, on the same day he also signed this monster, Assembly Bill 1400 (along a with a bunch of other pro-homo legislation). Here's a synopisis:
AB 1400 by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) - Unruh Civil Rights Act: marital status and sexual orientation The Unruh Civil Rights Act (Act) provides that all persons, regardless of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or medical condition are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges and services in all business establishments of every kind. This bill clarifies that marital status and sexual orientation are among the characteristics that are protected against discrimination by business establishments under the Act. This bill also imports into the Act definitions of the terms "disability," "religion," "sex," and "sexual orientation" from the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and includes, in enumerating the above characteristics, the perception of those characteristics and association with a person who has or is perceived to have those characteristics as being within the protected categories. These definitions will be integrated into other related provisions of the Act.
Arnolds Gay Rights Give-and-Take - Governor signs civil rights bill...
Ping. It doesn't take long for these folks, does it.
Hey, FO. Here's the result of that law that you called "mere crumbs."
I sure hope you and your pro-GLBTer friends are happy now.
Northwest will let him go as long as they get married first...........
Who would've thought?
"Anders, 60, said he had been planning to use the tickets to see his 89-year-old mother in Florida until Northwest's refusal. "
It wasn't before the Wilsonegger gang took office and signed the legislation that empowers the ACLU.
This makes me dizzy, I think I am being spun.
Sorry, but tickets are tickets...
My husband and I once worked as doctors at the same institution...so we could not take vacations together (or we would leave the place short staffed, since we only had 6 docs working)...so I usually went with a girlfriend...
If he was given a reward, the friend he takes with him should not matter...
Kudos to Northwest for resisting the Marketing of Evil (David Kupellian's book title)
Dumb move.
And FReepers rejoice that gay people are refused service on an airline.
I think the airline prints those terms very very clearly.
Besides are not airlines regulated by FEDERAL LAW?
In 1996 Clinton signed the DOMA. These homosexuals fetishists were traveling between states and thus interstate commerce was involved.
What was the airline going to do, transport them to the CF bordern and pitch them out?
FL has no such recreational sex recognition. FL thanks NWA.
