The pilot's idea was inappropriate, despite being well-intentioned, but what a big fuss about so very little.
Pilot grounded?
The complaining director of the 'Anti-Defamation League' given assurances AA take it "very seriously" and are conducting a "thorough investigation"?
And on this thread suggestions by some that the Captain, who for all we know may well be an outstanding pilot with an unblemished career record, should be fired?
What 'thorough investigation' is necessary?
Did you say it?
Yes.
Don't do it again. PA's are for official announcements not personal messages, non-Christian passengers may be offended, and those with too much time on their hands write letters complaining.
