Brazil is a country that doesn't impose rough penalties in these banalities. The first was treated too well, paid a fine of USD10.000, (equivalent of one month of this salary) which was given to a charity home for the elderly and was let go. I suggest to increase the fine to USD20.000 and pretty soon we could be making a nice business with those fines :-)

American Airlines pilot want to help those who are not Christians. I think it is the same pilot who showed the finger in the mugshot in Brazil. The airline must have put him on an anger management traning to become a good boy. I think he went too far!!!! American Airlines pilot plugs Christianity Feb. 8, 2004 \| NEW YORK (AP) -- An American Airlines pilot asked Christians on his flight to identify themselves and suggested the non-Christians discuss the faith with them, the airline said. The case was handed over to the airline's personnel department for an investigation, spokesman Tim Wagner said Sunday. "It falls along the lines of a personal level of sharing that may not be appropriate for one of our employees to do while on the job," he said earlier. American's Flight 34 was headed from Los Angeles to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on Friday when the pilot asked Christians on board to raise their hands, Wagner said. Today's Daypass sponsored by Focus Features's "Lost In Translation" The pilot, whose name was not released, told the airline that he then suggested the other passengers use the flight time to talk to the Christians about their faith, Wagner said. Passenger Amanda Nelligan told WCBS-TV of New York that the pilot called non-Christians "crazy" and that his comments "felt like a threat." She said she and several others aboard were so worried they tried to call relatives on their cell phones before flight attendants assured them they were safe and that people on the ground had been notified about the pilot's comments. The pilot also told passengers he would be available for discussion at the end of the flight. Wagner said the pilot had just returned to work from a weeklong mission trip to Costa Rica. Because of privacy issues, there would likely never be any announcement about what kind of punishment or reprimand the pilot may face, Wagner said. The pilot was not scheduled to fly during the weekend, he said. salon.com
