I have flown the 'Reverend Jackson'. His campaign stiffed us on the bill for his flight, almost $30,000. 1991 Dollars. Incredibly, his 'campaign' called us a year later looking for another flight (we are one of the few supplemental airlines with DC9's for charter). I stepped in and refused the charter. In Las Vegas. Within hours, he had every labor union (in Vegas, like no big deal) on us as well as the news stations sniffing out a case of racial discrimination. I waited until all 3 networks were camped outside my office with cameras ablaze, and then walked out with 100 copies of the entire file of his previous unpaid flight.

Never saw a word on TV or paper. The best parts?

Saw him getting on a Nortwest commercial flight later two days later with his 'entourage'.

Never heard from him again.
