Three groups representing flight attendants are calling for a boycott of the box-office hit "Flightplan."
In the Jodie Foster thriller about a mother looking for her missing daughter aboard a plane, a flight attendant colludes with an air marshal as part of a plot to extort a ransom from the airline.
Other flight attendants are shown treating passengers rudely and being unsympathetic to Foster's character, whom they think might be delusional.

A rude flight attendant?!! Who could have thought of such a thing?!!
You couldn't pay me to see this shat.
Boycotts always sound good on paper, but their true efficacy always falls short. Some actually seem to get a lot of support, but almost always this support is from people who wouldn't have bought the product/service anyways.
You ain't nothin' but a Waitress in the Sky
I don't plan on seeing the movie, but that's only because I think Jodie Foster can't act her way out of a wet paper bag, not because of any union boycott.
Losers hate being shown for what they are.
Ha Ha....
Its Hollywood....
Gay Stars, Gay Sky Fairies
Wheres the Beef?
Really. Rude....or gay. Who'd'a thunk.
Did they boycott Airplane! also?
'Fake' Bells go off when I see her on the screen. The harder she tries the worse she is and she clearly tries very hard. Peaked at 12 in Taxi Driver.
Tell that to the "waitresses" that helped evacuate the plane that crashed in Toronto last month without one fatality.
The Internet has made it easier for any and all groups of people to organize quicker. Just more media noise. I remember Foster has been in trouble with Homosexual Groups in the past because of the serial killer in The Silence of the Lambs.
The fine ladies down at the Waffle House get people out virtually every day without any fatalities.
There are so few films out there worth seeing (stuff that I might like) that I was looking forward to seeing this when it comes out on 'on demand'. Looked exciting and with a mystery to it.
The actions of the flight attendants in the movie won't influence me as to my opinions of them. My reactions to, or my feelings of them, come from real life situations --- not from a fictional movie. I can separate the two.
As a mother, I can't watch movies that harm/scare children. There's enough of that crap in the news.
Problem was - she was almost completely insane, and treated the passengers like her kindergarten class. ;)
Could kill it at the Oscars, though.
