The "AINOKEA" mentality lives!  "And he probably never said anything threatening!"  If you weren't on that flight seated NEXT TO HIM, why even make that comment?

"On a US Airways flight back from Australia, a male steward wouldn't let me burp, or fart, saying some older white male was complaining!"  I can understand if you're on a deserted beach......LET HER RIP!  But stuck in an enclosed tube with passengers all around and not thinking about "degassing" in the lavatory but RIGHT THERE?  How'd ya feel if that guy did the same next to you?

Then you go on about the guy should sue the airlines?  "ITS ALL ABOUT ME" isn't how society functions and thank the good Lord that the MAJORITY don't think this way.
