Airlines... pretty much all of them... treat ALL their customers so wretchedly and make the experience of flying so miserable as it is that they've established a baseline of "horrible experience" below which I don't want to go.

And discriminatory treatment of passengers based on race goes there.

So, no.

Thanks for the heads-up, NAACP.

appreciatively,
Bright
