PAKISTANI sues JetBlue! WOW!!!

[scoreboard]

But, when I look at Emirates, they (a very MUSLIM country) have no problem hiring non-Muslim pilots.

Because there are no Emirites needing the job.

Forget this "God's will" bullsh*t that has started !


I'm being for real. Just how do you propose for American muslims to "go over there and stop this mess." ??????

Join-up and see the world, become a part of the solution, don't sit there in your comfortable chair claiming ignorance of how to stop the evil. I was out there for 20 years, what have you done for your country today?

Ditto on my class at JB....I was in class for over a week with an offer of employment that was tied to the completion of my background check.

It kinda scared me at first.....but I knew my background was clean and that I had told them everything they needed to know.

If JB found something in his background that mattered, it mitigated the employment offer. Further, I know of at least two guys who were turned down and later hired when the background check was straightened out.

I’m finding it hard to understand why you’re using the word ‘mitigated’? Did you mean ‘rescinded’?

And you say you’re hired by JetBlue. Wow!

 

[FlyBunny]

I turn the rock, and there you are....

Well in fairness the founding fathers were all for equal rights amongst WASP Males, Haji doesn't appear to meet the criteria.

According to your own admission, your mum, sister, wife (get it?) doesn't either. Make sure no women in your family vote as they are no WASP and don't have most of the rights accorded to makes.

Here's another pilot. I do hope one day you fly with me. I'm an expert in educating boys just like you.

Pakistani-born pilot sues JetBlue, claiming discrimination

A Pakistani-born pilot is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for discrimination, claiming the airline rescinded a job offer and told him it was because of his background.

NEW YORK — A Pakistani-born pilot is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for discrimination, claiming the airline rescinded a job offer and told him it was because of his background.

Faisal Baig, a U.S. citizen who was raised in Yonkers, claims in the suit that an airline manager told him in March that he was a "security risk.''

According to the suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Baig asked, "Are you saying that you are not hiring me because of my name or my religion? ... Are you saying you are not hiring me because of where I'm from?''

The manager answered, "Yes, and JetBlue considers you a security risk,'' according to the suit.

Baig claims he was offered the job in February and had already received a ticket to attend the airline's training school in Orlando, Fla. The 40-year-old, a Muslim, had previously flown for Independence Air for nearly six years.

"I was devastated,'' he said. "I've been living in this country since I was 7, and now somebody's telling me I'm not a good American.''

A message left for a spokesman for the New York-based airline was not immediately returned Wednesday.

Baig, whose suit seeks an unspecified amount of money, is now living in Raleigh, N.C., where he is continuing to look for work as a pilot.

:bawling: maybe his background check is messed up? I've seen this problem before....someone that does not make the grade and they claim "its because I'm ........"

Try:

"US Citizen Sues Airblue" or something like that...

good try though...you got half the nuts thinking he's not a US Citizen...good spin!

Again, HOW ?!?! You clearly said Muslims here need to "go over there and stop this mess."

So i ask again, how ??? Let's start with they fly out to the Middle East, and now what?


You can't just wave a magic wand and have singing ponies solve the problem.

I was out there for 20 years,

You were in the armed services? Good to hear that, thanks for serving our country.

what have you done for your country today?

Honestly, all I've done today is refute posts here by those who sound like bigots.

You aren't, but one guy who said "muslims can burn in hell", people like him.


Other than that, during the day from 8:30am to 5pm, I worked at my engineering job for a defense contractor.

Singing ponies would be way cool.

???????

All you guys who are so quick call some one a "hater". Here's a question.

1. Would you feel comfortable if 20 of your pax were 18 - 30 year old Arab Muslim men on your aircraft?

2. Would you feel comfortable when 10 of them stood up at once and moved in unison toward the front of the aircraft?

3. Would you just sit there and say "I'm going to be fair and give them the benefit of the doubt"?

If you answered "no" to 1 & 2 then that must make you a hatefilled person. If you answered "yes" then you don't understand the nature of the threat.

I don't know this guys real story but he's probably just got sour grapes.

CLAMBAKE

Strange connection you're trying to make. What does this has to do with Arab Muslim man? Faisal flew your mum and dad for over six years...hello...

But, to answer your post, about three months ago, I flew from Saudi on a Saudia to NYC...there were about ...well...not 10, not 20, but 100s of Arab Muslim man boarding that flight....then many of them stood near the galleys during flight to stretch...both business and first was filled with Arab man...and the crew was American...I'm sure you won't believe it because you're still drinking the cool aid Bush and Chaney has been feeding you...there are no less than 30 planes per day entering the US airspace that originate from Muslim countries and most of them don't even close their cockpit doors and tours to the cockpits are common...but, I will let you rest in your ignorant state as most of this nation has been since 9/11.

Enjoy your ignorence to the nth degree!

Good post FlyBunny.


As far as I can recall, don't Saudi B744 actually have a Muslim prayer section in the back somewhere ?

Edit: Form Saudi Arabian Airline's website:

Prayer Rooms

For Muslim passengers, a special area has been set aside for them to pray in peace and quiet. The facility features an electronic compass that shows the direction of the Holy City of Makkah as well as individual prayer mats.

You answer with the well worn Islam mantra "poor poor pitiful me, it can't be my fault so it must be gods will, i have no control, i have no means to solve the problem, woe is me..." B.S.

You have the means to make a difference, if you cannot figure that out, you are part of the problem, sitting there doing nothing. Your an engineer or claim to be for crying out loud, figure out a solution to why your religion is going to keep escalating this conflict until someone starts throwing Nukes around, you heard it here first.

Singing ponies would be cool, now thats a nice idea, work on that.

Oh, and think fast:

He was a good guy at FLYI. I hope he takes Blue Balls for every penny they have. What did they make in the last quarter, 13 mil? I hope he gets all of it.

 

[9rj9]

he picked a bad time to sue jetblue

now we have more muslims trying to blow up planes, not much sympathy from a jury now. No one will ever hire him now.

 

[Slippery Mick]

I would like to know we never hear about non-radical Muslim groups condemning the radical Muslims for their actions?

Because you don't visit mosques and because it's not obnoxious enough to appear on CNN or hateful enough to appear on Fox News.

 

[Slippery Mick]

Listen to you all !

You're using the sad excuse of 9/11 and the actions of 19 men to collectively group an entire religion of 1.4 billion people as terrorists.

Yes, there are many muslim extremists, but it's only a few percentage of the 1.4 billion muslims who are like that.


In America, there are Muslim doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, businessmen, airline pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and any other trade you can imagine.

There are Muslims serving in the US Air Froce, Army, Navy and the Marines.

There are US Muslim armed services members who are serving our country by fighting the war in Iraq and Afghanistan right now, just so your bigoted a$$es can go to bed safely tonight.



Grow up, people!

Cheers!

I have read it, and the quran clearly teaches conversion by the sword.

You mention Timothy McVeigh and the KKK. Fine, but neither one of them have ever stated that they were committing violence in the name of the Bible. In fact, Jesus very emphatically teaches NOT to use violence, so anyone who commits an act of violence and says they are following the Bible are actually contradicting it.

The same cannot be said for islam.

You are truly an idiot, and a liar. And you claim moral superiority?

 

[Slippery Mick]

The aims of the few radical terrorist muslims intent on destroying the West are no different than the few radical terrorist christians intent on destroying Islam.

The quack followers of Pat Robertson are no different than the quack followers of OBL.

And today, these and other quack christians are cheering on Israel in support of the mythic belief that Jesus is on his way home. Pat Robertson is in Jerusalem to give moral support to the Israelis, because he believes this is the beginning of armageddon. It's not much of a mystic prophecy if it's self-fulfilling.

Jesus' peace-loving statements contradict the West's use of military power. The real evil lies in ignorance, of passively letting the President and those whole pull his strings unleash havoc, pain, and misery on the innocent. And America is morally superior?

You answer with the well worn Islam mantra "poor poor pitiful me, it can't be my fault so it must be gods will, i have no control, i have no means to solve the problem, woe is me..." B.S.

I still dont know where you're getting this BS of god's will."

You have the means to make a difference, if you cannot figure that out, you are part of the problem, sitting there doing nothing.

Again, you said go over there and fix it... that's much easier said than done. Just how do you fix it?! Our administration thinks blowing the sh*t out of things there should solve it... that's gone pretty well for the past three and a half years.

Your an engineer or claim to be for crying out loud, figure out a solution to why your religion is going to keep escalating this conflict until someone starts throwing Nukes around, you heard it here first.

Who are you to assume I am a Muslim? Just because I'm defending them or their religion?

Yes, I'm a structural engineer.

You are smoking some nice high quality weed if you seriously think American Muslims can go over there and fix the whole problem. We've gone back and forth, back and forth, and you STILL have NOT offered a solution to the problem. Because the problem is, there isn't a clear one. American muslims can't just walk into the Middle East and approach al-Qaeda and tell them to knock this sh*t off.

Oh, and think fast:

Yes, I heard about that. It's sad what terrorists are trying to do, but I'm glad they were stopped before any damage could be done.

And yes, I'm one of those 300 million folks who are getting tired of this crap.


But look at you, just pointing fingers at American Muslims and telling them to "go over there and solve all the problems." That's disillusioned thinking at best.

 

[RedBelly]

It's not being PC...it is what this country was founded on. If you'll remember history class, the Pilgrims came to this country so they would have freedom of religion. If you don't like a job applicant then don't hire him but it is absolutely not right to not hire someone or fire them based on their religious beliefs. Why? Because this is America!

You did not read my statement carefully. I never said it was right to not hire someone based upon their religion, only that a private company should have the right to do it. There is a huge difference between not being hired by a company, and being persecuted for you religious beliefs.
