[Avodah] flight or fight

[Eli Turkel]

<<Also note that the "ethicist" thinks it would be perfectly reasonable
to turn the plane around if someone had a medical emergency.  Why is
one person's medical emergency more important than another person's
Shabbos emergency?>>

What Shabbos emergency?They are not doing any melacha. At worse they have
to spend the shabbat in the airport. Is this inconvenience worth
inconveniencing many other passengers
especially a medically sick person.

Besides I have that one can use a taxi driven by a goy (I assume in the US
that is most taxis) to get to
one's home/hotel and make arrangements for the payment.
As to Zev's claim of a kiddush hashem my take is what would we say if the
situation was reversed.
If your flight was cancelled because of a religious Muslim,Sikh etc would
your gut feeling be that
you appreciate that person's convictions
