• refusal to sit next to a woman

    A Jewish passenger is suing JetBlue claiming religious discrimination
    after he was thrown off a plane following his refusal to sit next to a
    woman

    An Orthodox Jewish passenger claims he was thrown off a JetBlue
    plane for trying to change seats.

    The passenger had explained to staff that he couldn't sit next to
    a woman due to his religious beliefs, per the lawsuit.

    The man and his two travel companions had to pay to change their
    flights, the lawsuit says.
    ...
    ...
    Lunger took his seat but then saw that a woman was about to sit in the
    seat next to him, according to the lawsuit. He "quietly got up from
    his seat and stood in the aisle," the lawsuit says.

    But before he was able to ask another passenger to change seats, a
    flight attendant "yelled" at him to return to his seat, the lawsuit
    says. Lunger explained to the attendant that he was trying to change
    seats due to his religious beliefs, but she "refused to accept that
    explanation and attempted to prevent Mr. Lunger from switching seats
    with another passenger who had agreed to switch seats," according to
    the lawsuit. Other passengers who overheard this conversation also
    offered to swap seats, per the lawsuit.

    Don't they see their religion as the real religion? If so, why should

    Your lack of compassion in this area is worrying me.

    PS you [over-] snipped the comparison.

    This is terrible discrimination.

    Unlike the number of civilian deaths in Gaza.

    Sigh, what nonsense. He bought a specified seat and no other. If he has a problem, he can easily buy two tickets and fly happily ever after. I'm
    happy he was thrown off the plane, and he will have no chance in court.
