Doesn't the FAA have better things to do

[sar104]

You have clearly never worked in Washington DC.

And yes - I work for a Federal Agency.

There’s a huge surprise

You don't even care whether your posts make any sense, do you?

Didn’t realize they moved DC to New Mexico, my bad.

There is just too much that you don't realize. I'll spare both of us a huge waste of time by adding you to my ignore list.

He might convince you of a few things if you ever needed your flight logs analysed..!

There is so much pettiness in this thread. It also sounds like there is a bunch of flaming liberals. Just saying.

 

[Kilrah]

That's not how government agencies work. Their responsibilities are given to them by legislation, and they don't then get to pick and choose which to exercise.

The point is that it makes no sense at all that the FAA would be the right agency to give that responsibility to, but rather whatever kind of industry/commerce agency. A restaurant being in an airport doesn't make it an aviation matter...

Guys GUYS I didn't mean to start a conflict here

I completely agree. But there's no point criticizing the FAA for doing their assigned job.

FAA investigating airports where Chick-fil-A was excluded

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating religious discrimination claims against two airports because plans for Chick-fil-A restaurants were scrapped after complaints about the fast food chain's stance on LGBTQ issues.

Back to the original post ... Haven't the fast-food outlets got better things to do than discriminate against their customers?? Let people be people for goodness sake!

 

[slkfis]

If I read correctly the reason FAA is investigating the airports for discrimination is because they receive FAA money $$$$$$$$

 

[Slade]

Well I don't understand why its the FAA's responsibility to investigate what restaurants are going to be built at airports. I think this would be at the bottom of the list of things for then to do. How bout they find out why and how a door fell off a plane and hit a house in Las Vegas yesterday

Airplane door falls into Las Vegas neighborhood, hits apartment and car

Residents of a neighborhood in Las Vegas got an unwelcome surprise in the form of an airplane door falling out of the sky and hitting an apartment building and car. The incident took place near Nellis Air Force Base, which is just northeast of Las Vegas.

The Bill of Rights doesn’t empower any Federal agency to oversee religious freedom. Just more hogwash from the FAA.

The Bill of Rights doesn’t empower any Federal agency to oversee religious freedom. Just more hogwash from the FAA.

The Bill of Rights doesn’t empower anyone to do anything. The FAA is an executive agency under the president, and it is empowered under Article 2 to execute the laws passed by Congress. And this, apparently, is one of the duties established by Congress. Agree or disagree with this particular action, that’s how it works. If you think the FAA shouldn’t have this power (and that’s a reasonable argument, as some other agency could handle it and let the FAA just deal with things directly related to aviation), tell your legislators to change the law.

Personally, I don’t understand why coins and cash are made by completely separate agencies, but that’s how Congress set it up.

I think we all need to stop texting and go outside to fly for half an hour... ..!

Two main red flags stand out here..
1. The article is from CNN
2. the ACR is an internal only FAA civil rights office. It fields complaints for civil rights violations internal to the FAA, not restaurants in a terminal

Look, I love Chik-Filet. Ate there yesterday.But yeah would rather have another restaurant chain in an airport, If I am flying on a Sunday gonna need to eat. Don't shove your religious beliefs down my mouth by refusing to shove food down my mouth by not opening on a Sunday when I am flying.

 

[Stevemcam]

I'm sure that they have much better things to do. Unfortunately, this is one of their responsibilities.

If they were investigating discrimination against gays, Muslims, etc., everyone would be up in arms and would be demanding more action! Discrimination is discrimination, period and if the FAA is tasked with preventing it, then they seem to be doing well.

Tell me one thing that Chik fil a has done to promote any type of discrimination? Closing on Sunday? You see that as shoving religious beliefs down your throat? I see it as a tantrum from an uninformed complainer.

never been to chik filet

I saw it as a joke. I’m with the guy who said we should all take a breath and go fly.

(Chick-Fil-A’s executives are allegedly big supporters of some anti-LGBT organizations, though, which I assume is the issue, not anything the restaurant itself has done).

My apologies for my role in keeping this irrelevant thread going.
