Debbie Schlussel: Tell USAIR to Resist Flying Imam Pressure
Tell USAIR to resist paying off the Six Flying Imams' shakedown efforts. I received this e-mail from reader Dorothy Carter:
I just phoned US Airways spoke with secretary in executive office Asking them to stand up to 6 Imams vs settle out of court. She said they are being flooded with phone calls world wide asking US Air to not cave to stand up against the Imams. I suggested their message to Imams and other Muslims who might try this stunt should be that this incident backfired on them and their are likely to use more profiling vs. harrassing grandmothers and elderly.
If you want to phone them, call investor relations no. 480-693-1227 ask to be transferred to executive office to ask them not to cave to 6 Imams. The investor relations person was very helpful and put me through to an extension where a human answered. I suggested they even make a public statement that this publicity stunt the Imams tried backfired and that it is likely to result in more profiling not less and that this tough stance would likely result in Americans preferring to fly on their airline as it would be safer than others who play by P.C. rules and inconvenience travelers every day. The person I spoke with said they had no intentions of giving in to their demands. yea, d
I called to voice my concerns. You should, too.
Meanwhile, reader Jeff Holland (of Holland Studios), a very talented professional artist from Scottsdale, created the above movie poster. Very apropos.
