Flight Unions Blast Foster's 'Flightplan'
Actress Jodie Foster is facing a backlash from flight attendants after appearing in a film depicting them as unhelpful and uncaring. The double Oscar-winner stars in new thriller Flightplan as a mother whose efforts to locate her lost child on a plane are hindered by air stewards. But the movie has sparked concerns the role of airplane staff may be undermined, and union officials are calling for its members to boycott it. Patricia Friend, international president of the Association Of Flight Attendants (AFA), says, "This disrespect to our profession is not going to fly. Flight attendants continue to be the first line of defense on an aircraft and put their lives on the line day after day for the safety of passengers." In the film, Foster's character only receives help from the captain played by Sean Bean and a US federal air marshal, played by Peter Sarsgaard.
oh geez :rolleyes: I guess these flight attendants don't realize that ITS JUST A MOVIE?!?! Everyone is entitled to their OPINIONS but makes me wonder if these F.A. actually seen the movie? :o
