There Was A MAGA On The Plane On My Las Vegas Trip

Originally posted by: cjen

My wife and grandkids, two adults and 4 juveniles. Flew Southwest, Dallas to Tampa.  Flight attendant asks my wife to gather her family and depart the plane.  She was informed at the gate she was being kicked off for a comment my grandaughter had supposedly made,  "We can remove our masks once we're in the air" .  The flight attendant reported to her supervisor when asked which girl made comment.  the answer was "the girl wearing the backpack" .  She pointed to wrong girl. It was the girl sitting behind her.  

 

We are pro masks,  I had warned the family of zero tolerance on planes. It was an accusation made in error.  Southwest was unrelenting.  We tried to file a complaint with Southwest.  They put us on hold forever.  I'm not flying Southwest anytime soon.


Wow...      Sounds like you got screwed.   on the other side of the coin the abuse by passengers has been crazy and rampant which is probably why they are so sensitive.... but they should have listened to you.    You can file a complaint with the Dept of Transportation and as a former employee of an airline I can tell you the airlines absolutely HATE getting these.   It measures into their report card thats used by both government and consumer agencies

AT some point the supply/demand for travel will fall back to more regular levels and the airlines/rental cars/restaurants/casinos will have to start kissing up to customers again....In the meantime they are being pricks.     

With all due respect, I'm sure we're not hearing the whole story here...and remarks like the granddaughter supposedly made are met with about the same reaction as a joke about hijacking the plane or detonating a bomb in flight. That said, why didn't the adults say "our granddaughter isn't the one who said that"??

 

I surmise (and I freely admit that I'm guessing here) that the adults reacted with a mild freakout, which probably reinforced the attendants' feeling that they had dangerous nutjobs on the plane who might become bellligerent and could force the flight to land. So they took no chances.

 

The granddaughter (or whoever it actually was) should be taught that there are things you just don't say in these kinds of settings.

 

I agree with PJ that this incident is a direct result of all the violence and disruption caused by idiot no-maskers.

       I suggest that kevin "should be taught that there are things you just don't say" when one was not there to see first hand what actually transpired. But then, that would not of been kevin, for he knows all without actually being there. To suggest that "this incident is a direct result of all the violence and disruption caused by idiot no-maskers" is asinine - I don't see where PJ stated that the incident was a direct result of no-maskers.

Stalker is really going out of his way, and sounding like a complete moron in the process, to attack me. I know why I twist his panties: I mock his Facebook fetish and don't let him get away with anything.


   Stating who and what kevin is is not an attack - I am just stating the facts, which he reinforces each and everytime he posts.

Labeling one's opinion as "the facts" is dishonest and stupid. Not surprising, coming from a dishonest and stupid person such as David.

Yes, My wife and other adult did tell the gate supervisor they picked the wrong girl.  Grandaughter was sitting in window seat no one in middle and wife was in aisle seat.  No one to say it to.  The three sitting behind my wife and grandaughter was being loud and making anti masks comments.  Gate supervisor said that three flight attendants had her saying it.  Not one flight attendant was at the gate to tell gate supervisor yes that is the girl.  They never got off plane. If there was a mild freak out. It was at the gate,  the flight attendant never told my wife why they had to depart the plane.

 

She was wrongly accused.  We are pro masks, pro vaccine,  No I was not there, I didn't witness it, but I do gamble and I would wager a tidy sum that they kicked off the wrong party.  Thanks PJ for the Link.
