Seems to me that following an Egyptian Cleric's fatwa the whole problem would have solved, http://groxx.com/out/Egyptian_men_must_be_breastfed_at_work-
hahahaha, Randy you should give jgrenwod a "honorary" prize for best unsolicited tagline!
I think jgrenwood is right.
I am all in favor of this fatwa, and what better place than in an aircraft? Would this qualify as a "mile higher"?
As an HR manager, I see a big need for simple education in all areas, espcecially customer service. The boarding attendant might have noticed the problem. However, having said that, let me say this. MOST customer service problems start with the customer not being specific enough. The man or men who made the airline reservation should have been specific about religious requirements. I'm sure the airline would have accomodated.
The headline blames the women, but according to the article, it was men they were traveling with who made the fuss about where the princesses were sitting.
I agree with Easyweaver about being specific when the reservations were made; everyone gets reserved seats and pre-boarding passes these days, so the shopping party could have arranged their own seating to suit themselves and their religious requirements. I guess they also had to get to the plane early enough to sit in the assigned seats. It doesn't sound that difficult.
