Ok, so I did some digging. And I found out what they ate right before going to the airport.

And, well, this might explain a few things:



And I don't want to say who serves this, but they may or may not advertise this dish:



Anyway, you know what they say, you eat merde you smell like merde...

/joke.
Didn’t you order this recently? How’d it make you feel? ;D

Everyone is so quick to scream anti semitism... And while it very well may have been instigated by anti semitism, there are stories all the time of people (Jews and Non-jews alike) being treated badly by airlines.

What I find extremely weird is that while this is all over the news. I have yet to see a single comment from anyone on that plane saying that it was indeed true. I would imagine if the “many” people complaining one or two wouldn’t read what the Adler’s are saying in the news, and comment saying that they did indeed smell. The fact that in this fast paced news driven world I have yet to see anyone comment, makes the airlines side hard to believe

Where is the rule about bo, stinking feet, excessive perfume, flatulence?

After such humiliation, I hope they're awarded millions on a court case.

Note to self: bathe before 2020, nah!

And then they will be accused of being antisemetic and open themselves up to the same law suit,

I'm not sure why this is so hard for people here to grasp.

Dont want to get it off topic but Its time to bring some awareness to this issue.
You can find dirty people that dont shower in all religions and sectors, but there are too many of them in our ultra orthodox community
Not trying to be a self hating jew, but it kind of angers me why so many think that using deodorant or going in shower on a daily basis is against our values.
I was once in a Mikvah of a specific community that stinking is the norm and I literally almost threw up and never stepped foot again.

Ever heard of a 3-day yom-tov ;D

Plus judging by the smell of a mikva is not quite fair.

IME it's more about the clothing than the body. If one changes clothes regularly, especially (but not limited to) underwear, it isn't likely to become unbearable.

I was in Yeshivah with a guy that showered once a week. Problem is nobody will tell you that you smell. I would move away from wherever that guy sat down.

In some countries that's the norm (or at least used to be). I haven't been there, and haven't heard anything recently, but I've heard in the past that showering once a week is the norm in Russia. Though as I said above, if said person changes their clothes/underwear with freshly laundered clothes on a daily basis, it isn't likely to be bad. OTOH, showering daily and wearing the same clothes can be terrible.

Just tell people they can use baking soda.

Quote
Ingredient list: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Arrowroot Powder, Non-Aluminum Baking Soda, Organic Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Lavender Essential Oil, Non-GMO Vitamin E derived 100% from Sunflowers.

Primal Pit Paste uses baking soda to bust stinkies of all sizes. If this is your first baking soda deodorant, use this Guide for First-Timers.

Because Primal Pit Paste is aluminum-free, you will sweat naturally... but you'll smell awesome. Organic arrowroot powder helps you feel dry while allowing your body to release toxins through sweat.

Our deodorants use a base of moisture-rich, organic coconut oil and organic shea butter to soothe your skin.

First of all ask your LOR there are ways to shower in yomtov. 
And I didnt mention where it was, I promise you that you wont judge once I tell you where it was.
It was the people using the mikvah plus they dont put chlorine in the mikvah and instead change the water daily

I dunno, I'm not going to count the comments, but it looks to me that besides the people who actually know the family, people are more likely to believe frum people stink rather than that the worst airline in the country by almost every metric may have screwed up.

I'm not sure why so many people just assume AA was in the right and the pax were wrong.
and even if one of them did smell, (which I doubt, as it was in the 70s in MIA that day and they are normal people)

1) AA promised them their luggage, then lied and sent it to detroit.
2) both of them smelled bad enough to warrant getting booted from the plane???? It doesn't seem they really did "an individual smell test", rather just said "you guys smell, out!" If one had an issue, the other should still have been allowed to fly.
3)Why were they allowed to fly the next day, wearing the same clothes?

Idk if they were discriminated against for being jewish or not, but I highly doubt AA was justified in booting them.
