"They" is a gender neutral pronoun, used out of respect when you don't know the gender pronoun someone goes by, and don't wish to be presumptive.

I didn't mean to equate the two (violence and rudeness), I was just making the connection that the one leads to escalation of the other. I suspect it's not as if a passenger just runs up to an airline staff member and punches them

I think one of the sore points is that airport workers routinely mistreat customers. True, usually not to the point of physical violence, but plenty of mistreatment regardless. A trite example I just experienced last week: my flight was can

Why stop at just savagely beating the man then? Stands to reason he should be locked up indefinitely in an ASO holding cell so that he can't cause any more trouble at a later time, yeah? That'll cost a lot of money though, why not

I said 'staff', not 'airline staff'; in this case, it was 'airport staff', and the hypocrisy still stands: why are airlines fixating on passengers, not other staff?
49.
by 4oh9do 5y ago
What do you mean? It's a bit rich to hear airlines talk about putting unruly passengers on lists, while the behavior of unruly staff is supported.

What about putting unruly airport staff on a similar list? I trust everyone remembers a few years ago, when David Dao was dragged off a United flight for refusing to vacate a seat he had paid for [1]. > Dao, a pulmonologist and folk musi

$15,000 for a glorified camping trip sounds absurdly expensive, sure. So does paying $1000 for a phone, and yet how many people in this thread critiquing the camping experience have one of those?
