I just read this over here:
https://liveandletsfly.com/flight-at...KT3U-aZQUW2YUA pair of flight attendants at American Airlines has been accused of unjustified retaliation against a passenger after he confronted them for not wearing masks…hours after they put their masks back on. There’s a lot of blame to go around.
AA Flight Attendants Accused Of Nasty Retaliation When Confronted For Not Wearing Masks
Andy Eisenmann noticed two AA flight attendants were not wearing masks during a layover in Dallas. He watched them for
40 minutes and took their picture.
Turns out they operated his flight to Palm Springs. Eisenmann claims to be an elite member of American’s AAdvatange program (which strikes me as logical if he flew from Honolulu to Palm Springs via Dallas, which requires quite a bit of backtracking, but provides lie-flat seating in first class).
Toward the end of the flight, after the captain made a second announcement about obligatory face coverings, Eisenmann decided to “confront” one of the flight attendant over what he observed earlier.
The flight attendant immediately became defensive, claimed he was drinking coffee, then retreated to the back of the aircraft.
Upon landing in Palm Springs, police met the aircraft. The flight attendant had called ahead and claimed Eisenmann had been “unruly” onboard.
Eisenmann was placed in a small room without windows or vents, interviewed, then permitted to go home.
An American Airlines spokesperson noted:
We are looking into an issue that occurred on American Airlines flight 2835 from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) on Nov. 22. We’ve reached out to the customer to learn more about their recent travel experience and to address their concerns.
American requires all team members and customers to adhere to the face covering policy throughout the entirety of their journey – including all areas of the airport and on board aircraft. Our team is reviewing this incident internally and will conduct any appropriate follow-up.
