These outsourced social media employees can keep sending terrible responses. But it does not reflect the actual on board situation.
Very disturbing that some dork can send an e-mail like that, and the rest of pprune/the world believes that it really represents reality on board.
Right. There really isn't a chance in the world that the cited message is consistent with KLM policy. Remember that the Netherlands was the first nation on the planet to welcome LGBT members in military service (1974!) and also the first country to legalize gay marriage. Also, breastfeeding in public is common and widespread in the Netherlands. The offending message just doesn't seem "very Dutch."
