What is it with airlines and disrespecting military veterans?

There was a couple of stories this year with airlines being assy towards vets. Now this:

Eric Calley, from Williamston, Michigan, travels with his Doberman pinscher, Sun, who is trained to help him deal with the PTSD he suffers as a result of serving two tours of duty in Iraq. While on the U.S. Airways flight, Calley says he was sitting in coach when a flight attendant from first class yelled at him because Sun placed his paws on an empty seat next to him while the airplane was experiencing turbulence, reports the Daily Mail.

Other passengers reportedly felt the steward’s behavior was out of line and quickly came to the veteran’s defense.

“It was blatant disrespect,” said fellow passenger and Iraq war veteran Chuck Aaron. “I couldn’t just sit there and not say something. He [the flight attendant] started telling us that he was going to have the police waiting when we landed because we were being hostile.”

Calley says the mistreatment by the airline went beyond just yelling. He says employees revealed to other passengers that he has a medical disability and asked him to show proof that Sun is a service dog.

    “The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.”

    * The animals need no papers. At least that’s the way I understand it.

  2. Blacks have had every right whites have since 1964 yet they still hate us. The same is true of homos vs. veterans.
    “…the steward’s behavior was out of line .” Hang the fag out to dry. There a 100 others in line for his stewardess job.

  3. Speaking of airlines, looks like CNN’s gonna have a little ratings bump this week due to yet another missing jet from Indonesia.

    CNN…the Kuala Lumpur of cable news networks.

  4. @Boobie nailed it.
    They should have identified the little faggot and posted his picture.
    “He [the flight attendant] started telling us that he was going to have the police waiting when we landed..”
    Faggot to English translation: “I’m telling my Mom!”
