You may be unfamiliar but in public it's open game

I fly often too. They aren't always sealed. They're supposed to be, but they're also not supposed to be thrown. It happens.
Tossing or throwing a blanket isn't assault

Use whatever word you want ... A FA THROWING anything at a customer is WRONG and their employer would be hearing about it.

Words have specific meanings. It is how people communicate. You don't get to choose your own meaning.

When you share your space with others you don't get to do whatever you want. Sorry everyone.
I agree. Sure, breasts aren't necessarily sexual organs at all. Feeding is their primary purpose, in fact. In America, it is considered nudity for a woman to expose her breasts. The logic (or illogic) of this is another matter entirely. It's simple courtesy for a breastfeeding mom to cover up when she's doing it. The flight attendant should definitely not have thrown the blanket at that woman, however.

You're going to say "words have specific meanings" and then cite some business that thinks "throwed" is a word?
