Oh, please. Because some flight attendants were brave and murdered by terrorists, all flight attendants permanently out of bounds? They must all be portrayed as virtuous and perfect at all times?

It's fiction. Fiction.

Presidents have been murdered while in office. Does that mean that we can't ever portray a President as corrupt in fictional stories? That's nonsense.

If the film is saying that all flight attendants are corrupt, or are murderers, then you would have a point. But to never allow a member of a new "protected class" to be portrayed as anything less than virtuous? That's just silly.

All art is propaganda.

We have an obligation to call B. S. when we see it.
