There won't BE a next time. At least for that employee and rightly so.
Problem is, will airline managements start to SEVERELY restrict buddy pass usage in order to avoid this kind of REALLY negative press? The single WORST thing you can call anyone these days is RACIST. This is a PR person's worst nightmare.
It's also a classic example of why I left the TV news business 27 years ago and have grown to truly LOATHE it.
1) Good post! I agree with your concern regarding future restrictions.
2) Racist is the single worst thing you can call anyone - Disagree. It indicates that the user has completely expended all oh his intellectual ammunition and is forced to resort to what is now a toothless and meaningless attempt to smear your character. It is like someone calling you a fascist. Nearly no one even knows what that means, other than "something I don't like." It is a sign of the futility of their position.
I submit that calling someone a "liberal" is in fact the worst thing imaginable. Just try it and wait for the outraged butthurt! <waits for sore bums to rush in>
