Do you have a recording of the Agent telling the supervisor this? Remember, the supervisor also works for American Airlines and they are in full damage control mode.
And you think this agent and CAIR aren't? Remember who made this public, NOT American Airlines.
The simple fact is, this guy headed straight to an attorney.....like an arrow. He lost ALL credibility with me when he did that. If a man in that position can't solve his own problems he has NO business being there. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't have the first idea of how to act in a pressure situation and he has NO business being next to the President of the United States. I want somebody who is capable of handling a tough situation guarding the president, not someone who has to run to a lawyer (a private lawyer) for help.
Oh, BTW, I'm a woman and I've faced discrimination, not like the little milchtoast stuff that's out there today, but hard stuff, in the construction industry when NO women were accepted as officers of corporations. I fought my own battles, proved my worth, faced insults and proved them wrong. I didn't have to run to any lawyer crying "they're picking on me". A man who can't fight his own battles certainly can't protect our president.
