FLYING THE FRIENDLY SKIES

[Duchess]

A number of female airline passengers have been asked by ultra-Orthodox Jews to get a different seat when they see their seatmate is a woman. Ultra-Orthodox Jews say their religion prevents them from sitting by a woman who is not their wife. Some have complied simply to avoid a holdup in departing, others have outright refused. At least one Jew asked a husband to switch seats with his wife so the Jew would feel free to take a seat.

Would you comply? Gentlemen, would you ask your woman to switch seats if asked by the Jew like the other guy was?
