Sounds like she was kicked off for an open beverage, and is trying to leverage her disability. Not sure one equals the other. She was not kicked off for being deaf
She had an alcoholic drink in a cup. Which means she got something in the airport lounge and instead of throwing it out she just downed the last of it before getting on the plane. This is not an unusual thing passengers do it all the time.
And regardless of her personality shitty or otherwise. The crew had no right to kick her off the way they did.
“According to the flight attendant directly involved in the matter, the passenger boarded with an open container which she admitted contained alcohol when questioned. Bringing an open container of alcohol on board violates both Frontier policy and federal law. When the flight attendant informed the passenger of the violation, the passenger rapidly consumed the remaining alcohol in the cup before handing it over,” the airline told Newsweek.
If you read the whole article, you tend to get the whole story.
I mean this sounds pretty relatable for me. No more open container, right?
Unless the rule is you can’t drink outside alcohol on the plane. Then, by drinking it without asking first you are obviously doubling down and being insubordinant.
How does finishing an airport beverage get you kicked off a plane? I once brought a 5lb loaf of bread on in my lap and nibbled on it for the whole flight.
The disability is the only thing left after you remove the likeliness that she isn’t the first and only person to do this. Personality thrown to the side since rude/dumb people have also existed forever.
I agree it’s not enough to cast judgement here, but it’s enough of an omission for me to wonder what happened before the video starts (what else has been left out), so I’m not comfortable making any judgements. It’s much bigger than bread because bread isn’t illegal and alcohol isn’t bread especially at high altitudes: https://www.fodors.com/news/wine-and-cocktails/why-you-cant-drink-your-own-alcohol-on-airplanes . (The plane hadn’t taken off yet but it would.)
Well, there’s the people on the plane right there who are advocating for her. I rather doubt they would be stepping up to her defense if she was being a complete asshole to the crew.
that plus the gate attendant. but still, the passenger reactions could be explained by them only starting to pay attention when she started to cry (and not whatever before) and we don’t really hear how the flight attendant appeared to exchange, so an unsure partial story

Where is the “downed the last of it before getting on the plane” coming from?
Seems like, from what I read (and correct me if I’m wrong)
Sounds like they still overreacted, but don’t get why parent is being downvotes, or why people are inventing details.

So you feel that consuming a drink is worthy of forcing someone to leave?
Yeah, they sure aren’t equals, but not in the order you think those two are.
No, I’m saying she wasn’t kicked off for being deaf.
