Yeah, I think we even had a thread on here back around the time of that article. Which was "04/24/2003 - Updated 11:27 PM ET"
The Castaways Travel photo was much later, and unrelated to the linked article.Comment

If my pilot wants to be nude while flying, Eat pancakes, Wear one sock, I really dont care as long as he gets me on the ground safely. No Harm no foulComment

A more recent news story re breastfeeding on an airplane:
http://www.nowpublic.com/mom_kicked_..._breastfeedingComment

"A breast-feeding mother is perfectly acceptable on an aircraft, providing she is feeding the child in a discreet way,"
Everything in this quote is perfect untill you get to the word "Providing".
Mothers should not be required to be "discreet" in any way while feeding their child. It should be up to the mom to choose how discreet she is, not the general public, or an airline employee.
The laws protecting breast feeding don't require the mother to be discreet, and for good reason.
There are too many opinions about what would be discreet enough.
Most people would think this woman was being very discreet, but one person wasn't satisfied.
Look what happened.
The entire family was cast off the plane. A vacation was ruined. Law suits are sure to follow.
Why?
Because a Law was broken. Not by the woman breast feeding her child. But by the Flight Attendent, and the Airline.
The law is clear. Women have the right to breast feed. Period!
If you don't like seeing it, DON'T LOOK!

Nude in the North: Thank you so much for your post! I couldn't have said it better. As a former nursing mother, this type of story makes me so angry. ESPECIALLY when this mother was doing everything right. That flight attendent should be, at best, demoted if not fired. All she had to do was look away as she passed this seat. We all know how terribly hot and stuffy planes get prior to take off while sitting at the gate. To ask that mother to cover with a blanket and add to that heat is cruel.
I hope she gets some vindication!Comment

I feel that if a mother wants to breast feed her baby, she has the right to do so. That is one of the purposes of the breast. Our Creator made humans to function that way. If someone has a problem with it, too bad!Comment

Now, now, rather than demoting or firing the flight attendant, how about sensitivity training -- e.g. forced to look at natural breastfeeding until the attendant is used to it.Comment

Or better yet. Wrap her in a heavy blanket and stick her in a stuffy plane for an hour or two.
And follow her to restaurants and throw a blanked over her claiming to be offended by the way she eats.

Well, okay, but then by that line of reasoning is it okay for her to perform other natural body functions like take a dump or a leak in the presence of strangers?Comment

That's a great way to assure airline safety, if all the passengers had to be nude. Travelers would probably be friendlier and more comfortable that way, too.
There aren't many orifices that can hide enough contraband to be dangerous to others.Comment
