American Airlines has been in the media a lot lately, and most of that has to do with the airline industry's bankrupt status, but here we see it happening for another reason...
Quote:
A family have claimed they were stopped from boarding a flight because their son has Down's Syndrome and was not wanted in the first class section.
Joan and Robert Vanderhorst are threatening to sue American Airlines after they say they were victims of discrimination over their 16 year old son Bede.
The couple claim as they waited to board their flight back to their home near Los Angeles they were told by airline staff they were not allowed to take their seats.
Airline staff allegedly told them their son was disruptive and a danger to the flight crew.
But Mrs Vanderhorst told KLTA TV that she began filming her son as he waited in the departure lounge showing him sitting silently waiting to board the flight at Newark, New Jersey.

The facts aren't all in yet, but it could be that AA is trying to emulate God's wonderful Word in the Old Testament when it speaks of turning away the disabled from serving the Lord (Leviticus 21:17-24).
The pilot and airline staff have many responsibilities which require good management--and what if -
just what if - the company has been restructuring from up top and incorporating little bits here and there from the Word of God? What if KJV Bibles start appearing along with those in-flight magazines in the seat-backs? This could be a sign of big changes to come!
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but if it turns out to be the case, I think we should expect to see a prosperous airline with God's blessings in the not-too-distant future!
