ParticipantOK FLU, you are getting ahead of yourself. First I must say my husband is an employee of said airline…now, here is the other side. This passenger BEGGED to get on this flight…the pilot did nothing but ask a flight attendant to ride in the jump seat…not very comfortable, but the FA agreed to let this passenger have her seat. After a couple hours, the FA got up, she was uncomfortable…passenger OFFERED his seat to her for a time (pilot had nothing to do with it), he said he would like to walk around anyway (my bet is that she was good-looking, he was hoping for a date). She proceeded to fall asleep, the passenger either didn’t want to ask her to get up, or saw dollar signs (more likely). So he sat in the bathroom a while…his choice. He could have awakened her…
Now, regarding your “cracker” comment, what are you trying to imply? Only “white foke” fly? Why something as incendiary as that? I don’t know, but Gohkan Mutlu does not sound very “cracker like”…best to keep those types of comments to yourself!

ParticipantYeah, we’ve all read past stories about the great treatment that customer’s have received from Jet Blue.
MANmom: Just because your husband works for JB doesn’t mean that he KNOWS exactly what happened on that plane. Was he there? There are witnesses that have been questioned by now and based on eyewitness account, not rumor and innuendo, the man who claims that he was made to sit in the bathroom will either receive an out of court settlement from Jet Blue to keep him from pushing this further or it will go to trial……..or he will drop the lawsuit.
I used to fly (A LOT) and since deregulation of the airlines, service and courtesy from the airline crews has gone right down the toilet, 🙂
Flight attendants are among the worst offenders of poor treatment and rude behavior towards passengers. I’ve seen it first-hand, too many times to count.May 14, 2008 at 9:32 AM #203902ParticipantYeah, we’ve all read past stories about the great treatment that customer’s have received from Jet Blue.

ParticipantI thought the cracker comment was funny and not offensive in any way. We’re all adults here. FLU was clearly joking. Please nobody start worrying about whether others will be offended by certain words, no matter what you do or say in life someone somewhere will be offended so don’t even try. I like the loose nature of this blog. In the non-cyber world I’ve been called a crazy cracker, a pinche yankee, and a stupid, white motherfucker on numerous occasions (usually at the poker table). Getting offended is a choice.
I travel a lot and am absolutely disgusted by the treatment I get from some airline employees; however, they are a small percentage (maybe 2%) compared to the great treatment I’ve gotten from airline employees… Unfortunately the super-offensive 2% are the ones we all remember, and not the wonderful 98%.
