I was joking about the numbers.. I can't believe how many of you think that is a good idea! Judge, if you go to a restaurant and it is lousy, do you think you should have the permission of the owner before you bad mouth them publicly?
Not quite the same I would say. The restaurant is promoting themselves by name. An airline agent isn't.
Should you be prevented from naming the bad waiter?
Yes, by name and location of work.
If not, perhaps you think it should only apply to the internet. (In which case, I assume you will be calling for Trip Advisor to be banned, which names people as do many other "review" websites).
Up to them, I do not frequent their site.
Or perhaps, you just think it is only airline employees who should get this special protection. We can also kiss goodbye to movie reviews, critical reviews of actors unless they are notified and given a right to reply, restaurant critics, consumer websites, etc.
Again, not quite the same as an employee of an airline. Actors/actresses have given their name to the movie and therefore are free game and in fact, love publicity, good or bad. An airline agent does not lend his/her name to the airline
It would be like the kind of trouble you get into if you criticise the King in Thailand, and who would be comfortable there? Oh yeah, sorry.....
The trouble for doing that would not be quite the same. Jail as opposed to what, a talking to by a manager???
For pities sake stop saying she can't defend herself. If she doesn't know she has been attacked, she doesn't need to defend herself. If she does, she can come on here and post her "right to reply". Which part of the first amendment are you opposed to? Freedom of speech is NOT a new concept...it was enshrined in the British Bill of Rights of 1689, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789, European, American and African Charters of Human Rights and the US Constitution. I can't believe how readily you, as proud Americans, are willing to give up this hard fought human right, to protect the feelings of a Delta Supervisor with a bad attitude.
Never did I say I was opposed to any of what you said, only that if named, an employee should be given a fair chance to respond. Do you disagree with that??
We will never agree on this but it's a fun debate and I know the site will never do as I suggested so I guess it might be better to let this thread rest, at least for me. Feel free to carryon as I'll look in but see no need to respond as we are too far apart. I am striking, just like BA. Btw and off topic, what's the lastest with them?
