I have flown before 88 , more later . You had a baby in 88 , so you were a very young guy then , without any life experience , and thinking that you are the center of the world , so everyone has to be at your service . That's maybe the reason fot this incident . But to avoid fleeing EL AL for this , even after you wrote that they improved [ how do you know ? ] shows only a profound grudge , not so nice in my eyes . Be more tolerant and understanding towards others , and respect people who are serving you , you won't have any problem , only a smile . The articles talks only about GROUND personnel , if you want to add a 19 year old incident made by EL AL personnel , it's free to you , but UNRELATED . You have'nt ANY merit for relatives who fought the British , and were hung by them . I'll prefer not to talk about the merits of my relatives , It was their , not mine . My attacks on this Rivkah and others : are you protecting this Christian preacher ? I not . I'm also attacking others , this fake paqid . Did you see his site with : Misrad Haklita in Hebrew and Ministry of absorption as heading ? is this not a fake ? or do you agree with this fake "Jew" ? Regarding the opinion people have about me : their opinion has the same value as they have in my eyes , and it's very poor Regarding the treatement given to those Egyptian people . Even if they have the needed papers , security check have to be done . Maybe there should be less suspicion towards them , but how to know that they are not a risk ? And if one commits a terrorist act , who will you blame ? PS , I'm older than you are , that's why i can give you some advice on how to behave . I'm respecting ALL the people who work for me , and have only nice experiences with this

I've heard of these stories before. In fact, many people prefere to fly to Israel with Continental, Delta, or Air Canada, rather than be subjected to rude treatment on El Al. The attitude of the El Al personnel is typical of the attitude of many Israelis who consider being courteous, something which is taboo, or interferes with their macho ways. Also, I can't understand why the Chief Rabbi of Israeli doesn't not issue a prohibition against smoking, since it is harmful to one's health, and according to Halacha, one is prohibited from engaging in activities which constitute a danger to one's health.
