Are you sure about that? Airlines call the police basically every day. I don't think it's realistic to think airlines can operate without the use of force.Bootstrap wrote:Here's a prediction: United will be able to handle these situations peacefully without police.
I could not in good conscience run an airline, at least not under U.S. regulations.What would you do if you were running the airline? Would your doctrine of non-resistance motivate you to pay the free market price of persuading someone to give up their seat, or would you use force to eject them?
(1) The captain and crew are expected to have complete physical control of the passengers once the plane takes off. And they operate under the authority of the owners of the airline. That means I'd be asserting that level of control. I couldn't do that.
(2) Normal airport operations require calling the police multiple times a day, often to deal with unruly, insane, or intoxicated passengers. I would not be comfortable with placing myself in a situation where I know I will need to regularly involve law enforcement to use force in order to protect mine own interests.
I don't think Christians should make decisions based on what raises stock value. I don't think Christians should really have ownership in a multitude of stocks, and should very prayerfully consider and with input from a brotherhood how to even handle owning 1 or 2 stocks in a company they work for / have significant input into its operations.Pragmatically, which approach will make customers more likely to fly with you and raise your stock value?
