Airline Apologizes for Christian Remark

FORT WORTH, Texas - The chief executive of American Airlines
apologized after the pilot of a recent cross-country flight got on the
intercom and asked all Christians aboard to raise their hands.
The pilot, Rodger K. Findiesen of Annapolis, Md., has been grounded
while the Feb. 7 incident is investigated, Gerard Arpey said.
The pilot of the Los Angeles-to-New York flight asked all Christians
aboard to discuss their faith with their fellow passengers.
"Let me assure you that we take this very seriously and are conducting
a thorough investigation," Arpey wrote to Abraham Foxman, director of
the Anti-Defamation League, a group that monitors anti-Semitism.
The airline "promotes an environment of respect for the diversity of
all persons, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, disability,
gender, age or sexual orientation."
Foxman had complained about the incident.
