How dare anyone look tired and drowsy on a flight! I couldn't count the number of times I've crawled into my window seat and tried to sleep through a flight.
If confirmed, a new low for Delta ...
Elderly woman kicked off Delta flight for looking ill
Suzanne Hays, 72, ... "I was begging them not to throw me off the plane," said Hays. Before Flight 19 would depart from Detroit to Orlando there was a problem. Hays said a passenger who was next to her decided to talk to the airline crew about her looking tired and drowsy. "Then she came back and said they've moved us because I might be contagious," said Hays. "Contagious with what?" she wondered. Shortly after that Hays said she was asked to leave the airplane. She said she was devastated.
...
Hays said she left the aircraft. She said they gave her $20 voucher for tea and soup. She said she sat in the Detroit airport for another hour and a half before she was placed on the next Delta flight to Orlando. "I begged them don't throw me off this plane," said Hays. "I told them I have to get to my son."
And Delta pleads ignorance:
Delta spokesperson Anthony Black said the airline was not notified of the problem, until now.
