Flight Attendants Say Boycott 'Flightplan'
 

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Three groups representing flight attendants are calling for a boycott of the box-office hit "Flightplan."

In the Jodie Foster thriller about a mother looking for her missing daughter aboard a plane, a flight attendant colludes with an air marshal as part of a plot to extort a ransom from the airline.

Other flight attendants are shown treating passengers rudely and being unsympathetic to Foster's character, whom they think might be delusional.

The groups contend that the Disney film could breed distrust of their members among real airline passengers.

"Should there be another 9/11, it would be critical for the cabin crew to have the support of their passengers, not the distrust that this movie may engender," said Tommie Hutto-Blake, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. "Our fellow crew members who perished in the line of duty deserve more respect."

Two other organizations - the Association of Flight Attendants and Transport Workers Union, Local 556 - also called for a "Flightplan" boycott.

Combined, the three groups represent more than 80,000 flight attendants at 23 airlines.

A call to Disney seeking comment was not immediately returned Wednesday.
The film was No. 1 at the box office last weekend, collecting $24.6 million.

I definitely think the line between fantasy and reality has blurred for many people. It's rather scary

What's next? Doll makers boycotting the "Chucky" movies because killer dolls could hurt barbies earnings?

Re: Flight Attendants Say Boycott 'Flightplan'
 

Flight Attendants = Bitchy ... so what's their problem??

Re: Flight Attendants Say Boycott 'Flightplan'
 

I say boycott the movie because it appears to be a rip off of "The Forgotten" but now it looks like the flight attendants have spoiled the movie...thanks a lot, bitches!

haha. :)

i watched the previews and thought "Ok... a chick goes nuts on a plane - at best, that might be interesting for 10 minutes... then what"

Re: Flight Attendants Say Boycott 'Flightplan'
 

haha...I JUST got home from the movie....it wasn't THAT bad as far as portrayal of flight attendants...yes, they treated her like she was nuts, but all under the guise of the 'safety of the other passengers'..... and one of the flight attendants was part of the conspiracy, so obviously she's going to be a bitch to her.

Hmm...fantasy...and....reality....can the public tell the difference? :rolleyes:

they sooo need to get the pickle out of their asses....

Re: Flight Attendants Say Boycott 'Flightplan'
 

Gee, we might end up thinking flight attendants are bitchy! What's the chance of that ever happening?

What next? That politicians are incompetent? That NYC taxi drivers have a death wish? That the French are a tad snobby?
