Has it never happened? It may have on an excruciatingly rare situation. Perhaps. But it is far far from the norm. Typically the seat change request is done courteously and respectfully.<br /><br /><br />Just how you did it.<br /><br /><br />It is the anti-semitic media, mostly egged on by the Orthodox-hating irreligious Jews, who come up with these falsehoods and take a one in ten thousand man-bites-dog story and portray it as a frequent occurrence.Moe Ginsburgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-67942659742847756312015-04-17T16:33:51.781+03:002015-04-17T16:33:51.781+03:00I have many times flown with family and for whatev...I have many times flown with family and for whatever reason ended up sitting far away from them on full flights. I try to effect a seat switch, and sometimes have been successful. But here is the difference - when I haven't been successful, I didn't refuse to sit in my assigned seat, I didn't cause a scene and I didn't create a multi-hour delay for the entire plane full of people. This has happened many times with so called chassidim, and frankly there is no way you can label such a monumental narcissistic tircha dtzibura and huge chilul hashem as an example of CHASIDUS!!! The Besht would disassociate from people like that imho.Ari Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-28790741364764323522015-04-15T01:02:38.279+03:002015-04-15T01:02:38.279+03:00excellent link!!! thank you!!!
