Appeals Court Spares Southwest Airlines Lawyers From Religious Liberty Training
Southwest Airlines fired a flight attendant who sent graphic anti-abortion messages to their union President on Facebook after the union spent employee funds to attend the pro-choice Women’s March in 2017.

Creepy Dude Takes The Middle Seat Between Two Young Women – And Refuses To Move
If you take the window and aisle seat, and leave the middle empty, you run the risk that someone winds up sitting there. You don’t get any extra room. And as this fellow shows, sometimes the passenger won’t move.
