I returned home from a trip to San Francisco. The flight over in couch was so distressing, I paid $1400 to fly in business on the way back. Long story short, a flight attendant had security meet me at the plane. She claimed I had tried to pour hot tea on her. I had tried to give her back a cup of cold, undrinkable tea which she refused to take. She did serve me a fresh cup of tea, nice and hot, but I drank that one. At the San Francisco airport, I was met a fairly unpleasant security officer who told me I should be careful what I say to attendants as they can have me banned from ever flying on their planes. It was very upsetting to have her lecture me, but then again she believed me to be someone capable of an assault felony.
I will never fly on United Airlines again although I have about 250, 000 miles. I am not the type of person allows people to treat me or anyone around me in an abusive or rude manner so I had better use those miles on a different carrier. Personally I have no intention of letting this go. My husband who happens to be a lawyer thinks I have a case against United and the attendants whose lies caused me to be detained at the airport with threats of police action.
Anyone want to join my lawsuit? My impression is that the flight attendants are trained in a way that promotes this abuse or power leaving United Airlines responsible.
