Captain orders 100 unruly school children off plane
Funnily enough, when Jet2 started flying MAN- TLV, they had male only cabin crew. Behaviour has deteriorated since female crew started.
Make of it what you will. I cannot (and will not) apologise for the poor behaviour of some of my co-religionists as I too find it to be unacceptable and would have also applauded has they been removed from that plane if I was sitting on it.
In fact I go out of my way to try to show cabin crew (and anyone else I deal with) that Jews can be courteous and considerate. The problem is that the ultra orthodox are so visible by their dress code that my regular clothing and modest skullcap are invisible in the inevitable scrum on boarding the plane.
As I said, it may be poor upbringing etc, but it is a cultural thing which will take generations to alter and will inevitably increase antisemitism amongst those people for whom this has been their only experience of meeting Jewish people.

"This part of ultra orthodox Judaism; the men simply do not know how to communicate with women in a position of authority."
It would be nice if passengers primarily considered cabin crew as just that, rather than men or women.
The attitude seems to extend to women in general. That would explain why when the man sitting next to my female colleague wanted to get out of his seat he jabbed her in the ribs to get her attention and then gave her a dismissive hand gesture to tell her to get out of his way. If he is quite so wedded to such archaic cultural practices perhaps he should travel on a donkey next time.

The modern day "call centre" mentality ... or lack thereof.
They couldn't have booked 100 seats online, no doubt they phone booked a group booking of 100 17-18 year olds, perhaps, with no adult chaperones and nobody in the airline had the initiative to think "Houston, we just may have a problem here".
It was the airline's fault and the buck stopped with the Captain.
