The Financial Post reports in its Thursday, July 30, edition that an uncomfortable moment between passengers on a New Jersey-to-Toronto flight has renewed the debate over reasonable accommodation and the balance between competing rights. The Post's Sadaf Ahsan writes that former Halifax chef Christine Flynn said a flight attendant asked if she would move when an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man refused to sit next to her on Porter Airlines Flight 121 Monday. She declined, uncomfortable with the other passenger's manner, she said. "He came down the aisle, he didn't actually look at me or make eye contact. He turned to the gentleman across the aisle and said, 'Change,'" Ms. Flynn told CBC News. The matter was resolved when another passenger volunteered to switch seats, but Ms. Flynn is now seeking an apology from Porter. Ms. Flynn said, "He's expecting me to fall in to that archetypical feminine role and acquiesce." Porter says the situation is not common, but it is not unique, and the airline is considering a formal policy. Air Canada says it tries to accommodate requests for seat changes, for whatever reason, when possible. It says each situation is different and many variables come into play.
