The captain is the master and commander of the flight, but his orders must
also be justified by safety, and not arbitrary.

And the captain apparently never saw the tape! lol

What it all boils down to is that the crew was not doing their job,
they found out they had been discovered, and they tried to use deceit
to obtain the video from the woman in order to cover their asses.

Really? 800 miles by Greyhound is just as fast as 800 miles by plane?

I don't quite believe this is the whole story.

An hour and a half to drive to the airport.
Three hour check in.
Three hours in delays.
Two hour flight.
Hour bag claim.
Hour and a half driving home.

12 hours.

IOW, you're a liar.

My average check in time is about 1/2 including waiting in the TSA's
gate security line, and I usually get to the airport for local flights
about an hour prior to departure. I live about half an hour from the
airport where I travel out of the most, so that's two hours in overhead,
then a flight of 800 miles would probably last half an hour, so I would
be well under half of what it would take to drive there or take a
Grayhound bus and sit with all the riffraff who typically take bus
trips.


An 800 mile flight would be at least two hours.


Yeah, and on a Greyhound, you might meet people like that mad
slasher dude in Manitoba, decapitating the guy next to him.

I bet it would take more than two hours to recover from that
little encounter.

An hour and a half to drive to the airport.

I live 30 minutes from SJC, 40 minutes from MRY, 50 minutes from SFO, 60
minutes from OAK

Three hour check in.

3 hours to check in?
I usually arrive at the airport 1 hour before flight time.
This usually gives me 1/2 hour to spend in the club.

Three hours in delays.

Where do you fly where the average delay is 3 hours?
Most of my flights arrive on time or ahead of time.

Two hour flight.

Hour bag claim.

I rarely check luggage

Hour and a half driving home.

Ok, but a lot of us aren't 1 1/2 hours away from the airport in both
directions



I doubt she was "arrested" for not deleting a video.


She was in fact arrested, so you don't have to put it in quotes.

I didn't say she wasn't arrested. I said I doubted she was arrested for
for failing to delete a video. This wouldn't even come under the
requirements to obey instructions from the flight crew.
If it really was for not deleting a video, then that would be a case for
a false arrest suit.

Gee you fly an airline that runs their planes at 1600 miles an hour
and hits that right away? F-18 tops out at only 1200, although launched
off the carrier it is probably to that speed pretty much immediately.

Well catapult helps, but the catapult doesn't move that fast

Hey, if this dude's airliners can fly at 1.6K, then my Hornets can
be catapulted off the deck at 1200 (g). And I did say "pretty much"..

I don't see any valid reason for that woman's rights to have been
curtailed.
It's just more unnecessary, creeping neocon totalitarianism.

Yeah. Everyone knows all Jetblue FAs are totalitarian neocons.
Always telling you to sit down when they're taking off and landing.

Nah. They just used the threat of bogus criminal charges to cover their fat,
skanky asses.
