Get used to it.

Your govt is working diligently on providing even more of the same.

In a few decades time...you might even be a part of some harem.

I hope this isn't taken away from us all because of a religion.

Nooooooo...not one bit. It's because of Santa...

Absolutely correct!
No group should expect to dictate or push their religious laws on anyone, especially when it comes to transport or other public services. Maybe they should Fed-Ex themselves as "Live Cargo" next time to avoid any trouble!

I read that United has not gotten back to her as of yet which I find rather surprising, even more so since she is a Million Miler and most likely Global Services. They have been very good with me in regards any issues I may have had and I find their response time, for such a large company, to be fairly rapid. Hopefully they educate all their personnel that in future instances like this they do not inconvenience other travelers to accommodate the religious beliefs of others.

I wonder if she was bumped to biz or 1st class.

And she might have gotten it all wrong about the 2 "monks".

Monks are bald and usually asian. Not hard to tell.

Not saying it's impossible to have 2 pakistani's as monks but really.

Interesting stuff, tho.

I was wondering that myself but none of the articles mention this. Usually on this heavier flights first class is usually taken by this time by the Premier Access members so it might not have been available.

It would be the only way I would consider moving in a scenario like this.

Muslim monks lol.



This site, man.

What's the big deal?

All I hear from the religious when it comes to gays and wedding cakes is that the gays should bow down to someone's religion and go to the store down the street.

Now we shouldn't care what someone's religion dictates because it's not yours?

I think the woman should stop being a SJW snowflake and find a new seat.
