Delta Air Lines calls for carriers to share names of unruly passengers:
Delta Air Lines is calling for an industry-wide effort to keep passengers from boarding competitors' flights after being banned for disruptive behavior.
So far this year, Delta says it has submitted the names of more than 600 banned passengers to the Federal Aviation Administration, which has sought to enforce rules against interfering with flight crews. The industry has seen a surge in poor behavior and banned passengers in recent months, with the bulk of incidents related to face mask requirements.
"We've also asked other airlines to share their 'no fly' list to further protect airline employees across the industry," Delta said in a memo this week. "A list of banned customers doesn't work as well if that customer can fly with another airline."
The company did not say whether sharing of passenger lists should be through the federal government or among companies themselves, and declined to elaborate. Delta said it has more than 1,600 people on its internal no-fly list and did not clarify why it submitted fewer than that to the FAA.
[...] The FAA was noncommittal about the idea Friday, saying in a statement the agency "is meeting with airports, airlines, unions, and others to discuss what additional steps the FAA and our industry partners can collectively take to continue driving down the number of unruly passenger incidents."
The agency said its latest data shows a decline in the rate of unruly passenger incidents. It said that as of last week, incidents involving unruly passengers occurred about six times in every 10,000 flights.
"That's an approximately 50 percent drop from early 2021, but it's more than twice as high as the end of 2020," the agency said Thursday.

An airliner is not exactly "private". On genuinely private property, you can exclude anyone, for any reason, be that reason religous, racist, sexist, ageist, or whatever.

It is private property fullstop. The owner gets to decide how it is used, the owner is entitled to give exactly a shit or not even that about your liking.
Suck it, snowflake, nobody owes you the use of their property the way you see fit. Take your freedumb and walk away.

ROFLMAO - you're so full of shit.
How long has it been since restaurant managers have been able to bar blacks, gays, Muslims, cripples, or whatever? If you serve the public, you serve the public.

The more you talk, the more evident your stupidity.
The rules that Delta set upfront as conditions for anyone to access their services, are they illegal? Nope, perfectly legal, no discrimination by any legal definition of it. If Delta says "thou shall wear a mask and behave as a condition of me providing the service to you", those rules stand no matter "blacks, gays, Muslims, cripples, or whatever"
Anyone who attempts to use their service and breach those condition is unruly. No ifs, no buts. Arguing anything else only show incapacity to comprehend even the basic facts of life. The sooner you get this through your thick skull of an entitled snowflake idiot, the better is for you; at least you have an opportunity to spend your time doing something useful instead of persisting in stupidity.

Those rules are for people willing to be dictated to.

Says the idiot afflicted by cognitive dissonance who voted the "law and order" agenda. Or are you sympathizing with Antifa in retrospect?
No, better let it drop, I don't actually want to know the depths you are willing to go to rationalize your idiocy.
