Cold tolerance is acquired. I just wore a hoodie to work today and it was -4°, 12° now. I am so screwed if i break down. I should probably throw a coat in my truck. I do have work gloves, hat, blanket, and chocolate bars... Probably should throw a sleeping bag too. But... Most important, got a phone to call my wife! LoL... She has heated seats and steering wheel! ?

You replying to me? Then man up and just do it. But if you want the last word because I didn't get the notification, then have at it. You simply don't know what happened either. I am throwing a lot out there. What we do know what happened is they were duped off the plane. Humiliated. Then their stuff flew away and left shut out of their ride home until the morning. That's pretty much documented and agreed with. How is that better...??

I like the change of seasons, the snow. Just not too much to keep you always shoveling. I just wish it would stay 15° from Thanksgiving to Easter... Then go right to spring. Snow, stay frozen.. Mud, the up and down sucks.

Don't feel your position so deeply and you won't feel the need to use profanity and react strongly to the stupid arguments you get yourself into on the internet. I simply side with the family mainly because of the airlines refusal to not give their stuff back. Again, I can agree with American Airlines decision if they just made everybody wait and got the family's stuff off. These are lives and emotions your fellow industry co-workers are effing with. Again, if people were really bothered by the smell... They can wait. Everybody work a little harder. Passengers want somebody removed simply over BO (very subjective) then the airlines can do the job right. Planes wait all the time when it suits the airlines or there are mechanical issues. Make these people whole, right then and there. Be fair and stop taking yourself so seriously. You make some good points, I understand what you are saying... Now meet the alleged smelly family half way. Everybody is in this together.

You have faith in your chosen field. That's admirable. Glad you speak for your profession. You should be a spokesperson. Agree to disagree. Don't you have a plane to fly. Now, lock yourself in there and speak when you're spoken too. ?

Nice! Mods helping Mods!

What happens if the issue is them being Jewish and the smell thing is made up? You should be a mind reader. That's what the gentleman is saying. If he does sue, I guess they can get the passengers to testify.

I am just invested in this silly argument... Just something to talk about, pass time in conversation. If you want to call the incessant banter (hope what I think is banter and not nastier) "conversation."

I smell. So Yes. ?? Doesn't one kinda empathize with the family. Really BO thaaat bad? If it's true... Seemed like they ganged up on them. Or... Are people just over sensitive or the airline is lying. Or maybe the people that complained are anti-Semitic? It's all a possibility.

Yeah... Happy bought off: LEO's just do the dirty work. If this situation ever presents itself again, there is no doubt they need to trick someone off. "Come with me Sir, there is a family emergency." [Door Shuts] "Man! You smell, the other passengers said so. They complained." ?

There's war in it. Maybe a stretch:

LoL... I just don't trust the Airlines over the people and a little BO. But, I am not getting my face pushed to the jetway and cuffed either. Oh, you are off the rails in the other thread. ?

In the end does it really matter. Adapt and overcome. Practice old-school conservatism, etc...

We can kinda agree on something. But who knows. ?

They were all boarded. Who knows what happened. Maybe another Delta situation happened at last second. If that happened and a crew member showed up at last second... Of course they will lie... They don't want another Delta situation on their hands. But of course all holier than thou guys like @sherpa know... Because they got the "in." LoL.. We need to trust him... LoL... The mllion dollar post! Huh... You say I am an anti-Semite because I am pro-Semitic. Be careful who you are calling an idiot. /smh They want to fly home. Let them stay on plane!

No. They just dragged a guy off Delta. Went viral. This guy had 8 family members at home. No way was he biting on being bumped. He made in no uncertain terms that he had to get home that night. Okay Mr.Mod. It was @Foxx that brought the Asian carp, anti-Semitism comment up first.

Did you hear the American Airlines gate attendant bring in the religious angle. The family never brought it up. The gate attendant said: "So you don't shower because of religious practices." The man immediately replied: "I shower every day!"

That's what they are claiming! "Cologne Dump." The airlines said other passengers complained. Let them face their accusers. Not just trick them off plane and close the door and take off with their stuff. Pretty low and weak. Throw the other passenger's undr bus. They bumped them and didn't want an incident... So they lied. Tried to shame them.

No. Not at all. I am siding with the family. The other passengers should deal with it. But it probably wasn't true they smelled It IS the topic. Did you see the guys interviews. He is claiming anti-Semitism! I am siding with them that it is!

Did they not trick them to get them off plane. Why not resolve it in the seat? See who complained? /smh... Really... That quote was offensive? Well I am sorry. I can delete that part.

Wow... Sorry if you feel this way.

The ones going full Nazi is American Airlines, tricking them off the plane.

That was a direct quote from the website. They went full Nazi.

That was a Jewish website (Chabad.org) that took it there. Not me.

Like duh! We are all closer to the Sun this time of year... ...That's because during the Northern Hemisphere Winter/Southern Hemisphere Summer, the Sun is closest to the Earth! Stay toasty My Friend... I wouldn't miss this part of the year for nothing! ?
