I'd be upset and uncomfortable with bigoted twats onboard. As far as I can tell, no specific bigots were identified (except for the pilot); the reasoning was that some passengers might be upset.

Wow how many people would be barred from flying because they MIGHT upset people?

Hopefully they fire the fucker. I'm too cynical to believe they'll do it until I've seen evidence of it having been done, though.

Several problems with that: 1) Hawaii is part of the US. If he has ID and money on him, it won't be much of an exile. 2) It's still possible to leave Hawaii by ship. 3) Why punish Hawaii? I say strip that pilot of his citizenship, freeze his assets, and dump him and that Houston teacher in Saudi Arabia. 4) Hawaii is too pretty for him. Not if we send him to Lōʻihi.

There's always the Leper colony on Malachi.

My godmother's a pilot and her response to this was that she wished she could refuse to fly a plane unless it was baby-free.

You can throw him in a volcano if you don't like him.

No need to fire the fellow, just transfer him to Pakistani Airways (or whatever it's called). Should be amusing to see how that plays out.

I would take a Muslim any day over the crying baby, the loud fat drunk alcoholic and the overzealous sports fans. Unfortunately life is not that simple.
