Probably a common phenomena. I was departing FLL to NYC with a Jetblue flight a few weeks ago in the height of the season, flight was 85+% visibly Jewish, and the crew was all at war at the gate, shouting warnings in the microphone literally every 5 seconds, about properly wearing masks, staying in the line etc. Once everyone was seated things were calmed down. Clearly they viewed us as a non-compliant violent mob. Can't they just treat the Miami-NY routes like Monsey Trails does? :)

Crazy how they would just issue a statement like this without investigation.
Just always trust the FA..

The fact that they just included all the Chassidim as "a large group" painting them with a broad brush like that is at least as bad as issuing an unverified statement without investigating.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

How do you read it as saying all the Chassidim on the plane were non compliant and not just, well, a large group?

They didn't say they were all non compliant, they said "members of a large group" meaning some of the people they looped together were allegedly non compliant, but they chose to include all the chassidim as one big group.

Big deal, they were just hating on Chassidim. It's not like some DDFers don't do that regularly here.

But they literally don't say that? They say it was a group, like a family. It's important to get facts right and not accuse or assume falsely, it undermines legitimate complaints.

Please tag whoever you think has a voice in Washington in the right circles for this edict with zero common sense.

If Frontier didn't send out that tweet, it would be a small story, guaranteed.

Only reason it blew up this much was because of all the popular replies on Twitter to Frontier's own tweet.

If anyone needed another reason not to fly frontier: last month a frontier flight from Nashville almost departed with a significant amount of ice and snow on its wing, due to the contractor running low on de-icing material. An eagle eyed crew member spotted the ice and alerted the pilot who returned the aircraft to the gate. https://twitter.com/xJonNYC/status/1366851756634873858?s=19

According to a Frontier spokesperson:

"We can confirm this incident did occur. Safety is our foremost priority and we are very proud of our flight crew for identifying the issue and ensuring the matter was addressed before takeoff. We are no longer using the deicing company in question.".
