Man Claims Beard Got Him Booted From Flight

A man claims he was booted from an Alaska Airlines flight taking off at DFW Wednesday night because of his beard. According to his sister’s Facebook post, the passenger, Mark French, said a fellow flyer pointed out that he looked “Arabic and scary.”
Per CW 33, “French says he did get a call from the airlines’ customer support with an offer to let him re-book his return flight at the same price.”
Alaska Airlines sent NewsFix a statement saying:
“We want to assure you that ethnicity did not play a part in this situation. The passenger was deemed unfit to fly at that time but was rebooked for a flight today to his destination. There is more to the story, but per our company policy we do not share details about our passengers.”
