news Mother w/ teenage daughters kicked off flight to accomodate 'customer of size'

[LesFleur]

This is fair right?

 

Customers who pay for every seat are kicked off to accomodate someone who gets extra seats free?

Outrage

Hope she sues them

The person of size also bought a ticket. So someone would've been kicked off regardless.

Southwest   Leave her ass in Baltimore for all we care

huh her story isn't adding up. first she said she was on standby but not and one person of size taking an extra seat is not 3 people getting kicked off a plane.

Well she can't just leave one of the teenagers she was travelling with behind or have them travel without her

I think it sounds like she’s saying that the airline initially claimed she was on standby when she wasn’t, and then later clarified that she was unable to board due to this policy. I imagine the three people getting kicked off was more due to her not wanting to leave one or both of her daughters alone.

Sounds like someone read a recent Daily Mail article and got an idea to go viral after not getting her way on a flight.

 

Bit of a poor move to read the salacious headline and not the body of the story - nor the airline's policy - detailing how most of the customers in question do in fact buy two seats and the accommodations is just that the airline will refund the cost of the 2nd seat.

I'm European so this will never affect me, therefore I support Southwest's policy

In addition to that, I just did a quick search and found that this policy has apparently existed for more than 30 years?  I don’t get why it’s suddenly such a hot topic.

1st of all, how would she "come to find out" that this was the reason she was kicked off in the first place? Did some messy gay flight attendant come and tell her or...??
