  • Why is everybody going crazy on the airlines now? Don’t they know they will go to jail?

  • Just watch, pretty soon flight attendants will be blamed for causing all this trouble. Then they will be disreguarded when a threat occurs and Obama will say, “We had information, but failed to listen to the first responder; the flight attendant.”
