This Child Needs A Spanking

J.J. Jackson* | November 20, 2006 

Ok, let’s get something straight here right now. Airlines are, despite huge amounts of federal regulation, still private companies. As private companies they can set their own policies. So when I read that some pathetic waste of human being (named Emily Gillette) is filing a complaint with the Vermont Human Rights Commission over being asked to get off a flight for breast feeding I have to laugh at such depravity and arrogance.

Flight Attendant Disciplined for Tossing Breast Feeding Mom

Freedom Airlines — a Delta connection carrier — has disciplined the flight attendant who asked a breast feeding mom to get off a commercial flight.

As ANN reported, Emily Gillette was seated in the second-to-last row near the window breast feeding her daughter. When the flight attendant asked her to cover herself with a blanket she refused contending she wasn’t doing anything wrong. The flight attendant notified a gate agent to remove Gillette, her daughter River and her husband Brad from the plane.

In an email to media outlets Freedom Airline spokesman Paul Skellon said, “We concluded that the flight attendant in question acted contrary to the company’s expectations. We believe our disciplinary action was appropriate and was taken after considering all of the facts leading to this incident.”

Ok, so the company says the flight attendant was in the wrong. And unless the woman was flashing her naked breast for all to see I would tend to agree. But to even suggest that there is some sort of “Human Rights violation” with this incident is absolutely childish. Not only is it childish but it is, I dare say, right out of the entitlement mentality where no one can dare question your actions or take exception to them.

Hey Emily, I am sure you are upset about getting tossed off the flight. Yeah, I’d probably be more than a little pissed off too. But to make a claim to the Human Rights Commission is just down right pathetic. Grow up. You do not have a “right to fly” on an airline. That is, unless you believe that there should be no such things a private companies (ala Karl Marx).

You want to see Human Rights violations? I’ll buy you a one way ticket to Darfur. We’ll see how long you last. And if you get out alive maybe you’ll have a little better respect for how good you have it in the United States.
