They met with him and gave him a photo op. They will be happy to leverage whatever positive publicity they can get these days, especially through a organization “representing” Orthodox Judaism.
I obviously don’t think that internally they take him seriously, they are just using him cynically and he is happy to play the fool. Also I don’t think a majority of people take him seriously, however we are dealing with a demographic that has a decent chunk of people with a tendency to blindly rely on “askanim” to guide them in matters which they don’t fully understand.

Israeli public broadcast channel 11 played the ATC recordings last night that sound 100% like they were ripped off from DD or from someone else that that ripped them off DD. The level of journalism is very low, the objective reporting is nowhere near as good as Dan's and the entire article is speculative. I guess that is the media these days.

Here is a link to Bechadri that has the excerpt of the news last night from channel 11: http://www.bhol.co.il/news/954757

UA cancelled their Thursday night flight after religious pax asked to get off the plane.
Interesting, i heard from a passenger that was on board that they cancelled due to the fact the the crew would have exceeded their max allowed shift time has they taken off.

Omg. Fake news exposed

https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/1626329/fake-news-exposed-watch-how-channel-10-in-israel-changed-video-of-el-al-passengers-singing-to-screaming.html

No surprise. If all journalist are inherent liars, Israeli journalists take it to a different level. I once had a journalist who wanted to interview me, and when I refused saying that I won't grant him an interview because he's a liar, he was initially offended. I explained that it's nothing personal against him, and that he's more than welcome to come to my house and spend Shabbos with us, but once it comes to his occupation, I don't trust him one iota.

Whenever reading or listening to Israeli media, one needs to be aware that at least 95% is a construct of the writer's imagination.

So who do we believe? Do we believe the reporter on the fight?

You don't have to believe anyone, if you care about the story, just try to construct it yourself in your own imagination based on bits and pieces you read and filter.

That's the problem. With little knowledge that I have I come to the conclusion there is no way that 180 religious individuals would take missing Shabbos sitting down. I also come to the conclusion that ElAl would make sure that plane took off.

Chillul shabbos =/= missing shabbos.
Making sure you mean chillul (disgrace/violate) not simply miss.

Attention @ChaimMoskowitz
I fully understand this.
Chillul shabbos =/= missing shabbos.
Making sure you mean chillul (disgrace/violate) not simply miss.
I understand what it means to you and most here. You need to understand what it means to me and most that are not on this forum. We can both have our positions while respecting each other.

I was NOT making sure you understand the significance, just clarifying what you mean when you say missing.
Missing your flight and staying in NY can be called missing.
Desecrating is another thing, how it plays a role here is another thing, just saying they are different.

Sitting on the sidelines and observing the back and forth, I have one respectful request for @ChaimMoskowitz to please stay out of this, it's something that you can't understand and will NEVER understand, it's not in your blood, you can live another 200 years and you'll never grasp it. And in my opinion you should not have an opinion in this matter, same as I don't have an opinion when it comes to rocket science, there is sometimes one must say or think that they are not well versed in a certain subject or matter so they have to sit on the side and watch.

I really mean it in a respectful way, no offense please.

Let me explain it as a Catholic. It would be like missing Sunday mass. That probably will not help you at all.

Unless I am totally off, if that is the way you see it, then indeed you don't get it, which is what many (myself included) have been saying, that a non Shomer Shabbos cannot begin to appreciate it.
