Flight attendants ask American to filter porn sites - GoFuckYourself.com

American Airlines flight attendants are worried about something special in the air: passengers surfing porn Web sites.

As the airline adds on-board Internet service, some travelers might be tempted to visit seedy alleyways off the information superhighway. So the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents 19,000 American Airlines flight attendants, has talked with management about installing filtering software to keep inappropriate Web content grounded, union spokesman David Roscow said Wednesday.

?Some passengers and some of the flight attendants have had some concerns about them going to inappropriate sites like porn sites,? he said, although he was unaware of any actual incidents.

American is one of several airlines experimenting with Internet service. While some, such as JetBlue, are using filtering software, others, including American, are leaving it up to flight attendants to monitor. American spokesman Tim Smith explained the company?s decision this way in an e-mail:

?Our policy is to provide Wi-Fi capabilities the way customers are most familiar using (them) at home, office, coffee shops and on the road ? with unfiltered connections that allow customers to get what they need, when they need it. While it does provide a new access point for information and content, customers viewing inappropriate material on board a flight is not a new scenario for our crews who have always managed this issue with great success.?

Smith noted that American?s service, which began Aug. 20, is in a trial period of up to six months. So just like items in the overhead bins, details of the program may shift after takeoff.

At the end of the period, American plans to evaluate feedback, including the number of incidents.

I guess that I can somewhat sympathize with them... With all the other crap that flight attendants have to put up with, imagine having to deal with some idiot jerking off in the seat.
