This was an Austrian Airlines flight that 26 men were moved to after their original flight was canceled, so yes, it was full. Each of the men refused to be seated next to a woman and eventually the pilot had to get involved and convince the women to change seats so the flight could take off only 40 minutes late.After the previous incident on an El Al flight that airline decided that any passengers refusing to be seated would be removed from the plane and an Israeli court has also recently ruled that women cannot be forced to change seats.Two fundamentalist Mormons convicted of polygamy in BChttp://bit.ly/an258-polySix kids and three adults, all refugees stabbed at kid's birthday party in Boisehttp://bit.ly/an258-boise-stabbingA Californian man temporarily staying at an apartment complex in Boise was asked to leave on Friday.
