Makes for fun reading.
A few points:
1. The judge denies airlines the right to deplane sick passengers without more careful screening. One would hope that does not stand.
2. Guess what, they invoke racism without a shred of evidence beyond them being non-white. The AC statement in the respect sounds reasonable to me.
3. On the other hand they should have been dealt with better after they deplaned.
I cannot imagine that ruling with stand in appeal.
Sorry, could not open your attachment so I do not know where you are getting point 2 from. There have been some cases (true or not) reported in the Indian media and I suspect some sensitivity around this subject.
For point 1, seems like AC deplaned the passenger because they assumed sickness because she threw up. What the ruling said was that AC threw them off without even ascertaining that she was sick. As they said, she threw up from the noxious smell from the closed washroom. Berating the kid and family was extra.
Point 3, I think we all agree. This was likely the biggest catalyst for the harsh amount awarded.
Poor Jet Airways, caught in the crossfire.
