Why when Elal sends me a spam message about my previous mated status does it have to send it as a file to download , then only after downloading it is basically a link to click on something else....

I've flown ELAL in the past recent years because of price. Upgraded to premium economy and thank G-d. They have some of the smallest coach seats to Israel if I'm not mistaken. 

I love ELAL based on nostaliga alone but I'm not running to fly with them anytime soon unfortunately.
I don't fly international often at all, but i do fly within the us though. So that's what I would be comparing too.

 just flew elal on the new dreamliner, in ecconomy, and it was pretty decent service and comfort.
Much better then any United economy flights

The Rebbe was a fan of El Al:  ;)

See letter of the Rebbe‘s secretariat published in The Letter and the Spirit page 244:
―As a matter of fact, far from discouraging Jews from traveling via El Al, the Rebbe
favors this line as evidenced by the fact that this year too, the Lubavitcher Chasidim
coming to visit the Rebbe from Kfar Chabad made their round trip via El Al. See
also the Rebbe‘s letter to Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin dated 23rd Tamuz 5716, Igrot kodesh vol. 13 page 293

Why should that matter?

I think there are two reasons:

1. The reason stated of קנה מיד עמיתך.
2. Though we all know that ELAL is far from being שומר שבת, there is definitely a פרהסיא value to the fact that they don't schedule any flights to operate on Shabbos or יו"ט (though they do publicly operate on יו"ט שני של גלויות). And that should be treated with ימין מקרבת.

The above notwithstanding. I personally choose not to do business with ELAL due to my personal experience with them (as well as other negatives).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Dansdeals has more hate for elal. Hmm I'm starting to think maybe there's actually something to it

Maybe stating the pilot lied should have been worded differently until all the facts are known.
I just found a new supply of forks!

What facts would change it to not be a lie?

If he planned to let them off but was told after the fact to take off instead. If we are going to consider that a lie then it would also be a lie if I said I was going to pick you up at 6:30 but didn't because I was hit by a truck.

It's a lot easier to get on the PA system and tell passengers that you were denied a return to the gate, than to call me post mortem.

If this were the case then he should have picked up the PA and said that. He never once said that and I've now spoken to multiple people on this flight.

Might be easier but no different. My point is if he didn't know ahead of time he could not return to the gate then IMHO it is not a lie. If this was the case for sure he didn't trick anyone. If it turns out he didn't trick anyone does that mean Dan lied to us? Of course not!!!

I agree but the point is still if he knew before the fact to make it a lie.

We'll never know this information, but a normal compassionate human being would explain why he didn't just pull off what appeared to be a brazen lie.

Who would not allow him to return to the gate? He's the captain. He has final say.

The information might come out and I agree he should have explained. Now we are up to a "brazen lie"?  :)
