(37,648 posts)First, you don't want a passenger speaking loudly expressing concerns about the qualifications of the pilot, getting passengers nervous or scared.
Second, it's more than not politically correct. It really is hate speech to loudly proclaim in public disparaging remarks about someone just because of his/her race or gender or age.
Third, it's a private business, selling tickets to the public. The business has a right not to serve anyone they find is disruptive to their business. Same as if you were seated in a restaurant and started loudly talking about how your waiter being black means the service will be lousy, the waiter will be lazy, or whatever other disparaging remarks you can think of. The business has an employee in the process of doing his job; he has a right not to be subjected to disparaging, discriminatory, hate remarks from the public.
