Breastaphobic airline

I hope Delta Air Lines has checked out SkyWest's attitude toward public breast-feeding, now that Delta announced it is re-assigning 12 Comair jets to Utah-based SkyWest.

Delta has been the target of "nurse-ins" at airports around the country, including Columbus and Louisville. The protests stem from an Oct. 13 Vermont incident aboard a commuter plane, which Freedom Airlines was operating for Delta. A nursing mother was thrown off the flight for refusing a blanket offered by a breastaphobic flight attendant. To make matters worse, the flight reportedly was three hours late in taking off.

Outraged nursing mothers have been staging protests this week around the country against Delta. As if the bankrupt airline -- with its second largest hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International -- needs any more bad publicity. Pediatricians recommend mothers breast feed infants on flight ascents and descents to ease air pressure pain in babies' ears. Both Ohio and Kentucky, by the way, have laws against stopping nursing mothers from public breast feeding.

On Homeland Security's threat levels, where exactly would you rank public breast feeding aboard commercial jets?
