  Monday, America West Airlines actually had the requisite combination of gall and stupidity to remove a woman from their San Francisco - Tucson flight after she asked a flight attendant if the flight crew had been checked for sobriety. Four questions arise: One: Was it not a fair question? Two: If it was a joke, what threat was perceived? I understand that jokes about bombs and other matters that might affect passenger or airline security are forbidden, and in some cases criminal, but is an inquiry into the pilot's sobriety - joking or not - a threat? Might I ask if the pilot had a good night's sleep? Or will that land me in jail? Three: How much do you think this will cost the airline? Four: Don't you think the person who made the decision to remove the passenger should have been checked for sobriety - and any sign of brain activity above the Medulla? © 2002-2008 Rob Falk, All Rights Reserved.
