I'll leave it to the group to assess the credibility of this witness. Others quoted in that same article were less colourful.
The video speaks for itself.
I'll stand by my assessment of the young lady's character. I'll fly with her any day.
You edited out the part of my post where the young woman's father herself admitted that she'd had a 'meltdown'. Also, just because Hedlund expressed concerns about what
may have happened which are not realistic does not in any way mean that her descriptions of what
did happen should be ignored. Even passengers such as Chris Hall who don't think Juliette was disruptive enough to justify being thrown off the plane admit that she was making noise. Which is very far from your description of Juliette remaining calm and composed at all times.
Yes, by the time of the video, they were quiet and behaving well. But, you claimed that Juliette had been calm the entire time. This clearly is not the case.
I stand by my conclusion that you have dramatically misrepresented her behaviour on the plane.
