This is BS. I am not anti semitic, but if Christians have to work on Christmas and Easter and Sundays, then there is no reason Jews can't work on thier Sabbath, Or holidays.

You're mistaken. Jewish law prohibits working on the Sabbath and many holidays. This isn't discretionary and exceptions are only for extreme situations when life is at stake. To my knowledge the only thing similar in Christianity is the Seventh Day Adventists.

I know several Jewish pilots who work Saturdays, do not keep kosher and work on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Succoth, Channukah, Purim, Shavouth,Tish B'Av.

First of all, work is permitted on Chanukah, Purim, and the Intermediate Days of Succot. Second of all, Jews who work on the prohibited days (like me) are not fully observant Jews.

Regardless, none of this is relevant to the case which started this thread. This issue is U.S. law and what companies are required to do to accommodate religious observance. Observant Jews know their employers aren't required to just give them Friday nights and Saturdays off. There are plenty of observant pilots at U.S. airlines who manage to make it work one way or another.

What horse sh**. Religion has gotten enough privilege in society. No more free rides. If your religious rituals interfere with your job, then find another job.

Abernathy, I just don't know what to say....
I put up with anti-religion krap from coworkers ALL the time at work. I swear I must have to endure hearing people use the name of God as a cuss word every single workday. :angryfire I don't preach at them, I just bite my tongue in the interest of keeping the peace.
You nonreligion types hate and offend at will, with absolutely no second thought. Then when a believer wants the company to COMPLY with their OWN policy, you hate on the believers?
You have the mind of a snail that was conceived with a dented sperm. Congratulations...you are the first person to placed on my ignore list.
Don't reply...can't see you anymore!:laugh:

Plenty of you religious types do the same, and do it at work. I've had the "joy" of being cooped up in a cockpit for hours on end, with a guy who preaches on and on that I'm going to burn for eternity, that I can't possibly have any morals, and much worse. Why? Because I don't share his belief system. That alone is enough for him to slander me and denigrate my character.

I'm a "believe what you like" kind of guy. If you want to believe in Allah, in Jesus, in Buddha, or in nothing at all, that's not my concern. It's not my business unless you make it my business, and frankly, I'd prefer it if you didn't. I'd hope you're the same way at work, because as much as you're offended by people insulting your religion at work, I'm equally offended when my absence of any faith is denigrated.

There are idiots on both sides of the theological divide, as I'm sure you've seen. There's a time and place to discuss religion, and the cockpit just isn't it.

Did you hear about the dude who was an insomniac agnostic and dyslexic?










He would lie awake in bed at night, wondering if there really was a dog....
