What A Crock Of Sh*t

"Northwest Airlines apologized on Wednesday to 40 American Muslims who were barred from a recent flight to Detroit, but denied it discriminated against the group, which was returning from a Hajj pilgrimage.

Northwest said the pilgrims failed to check in one hour before their transatlantic flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Detroit was scheduled to depart, as is required. The passengers arrived in Frankfurt via a charter flight from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and mistakenly believed they were cleared to board the Northwest flight, but were not."

Life's a bitch. One time I was flying from San Diego to San Jose. I got to the airport via taxi because everyone I knew was at work. 40 bucks it cost me. When I had left my house, the flight was on time etc. When I got there, they'd cancelled the flight. This was Southwest. Because, everyone I knew was at work and I'd already spent 40 bucks to take a taxi and they rescheduled me for a flight leaving 8 hours later, I had to sit in my boring ass airport for 8 hours, I did walk around outside quite a bit. They gave me 5 bucks in food vouchers, which bought me an orange juice. Was I pissed. Yeah. Did I demand "compensation". No, because LIFE'S A Bitch. But the friggin' Muzzies, anytime this kind of crap happens to them,"IT'S DISCRIMINATION".

"The passengers were accommodated on the next available flights to Detroit," Northwest said. "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the passengers." -Source

That's more than I would have gotten, and did I call in the ACLU????
