I feel really bad for this woman's child. She clearly has a mother with a few loose screws. I hope that she has another role model in her life that is more level headed than her mom.

It's not hard to find her actual FB post. Currently, after about a day, it's been shared 3,800 times -- not great but considering what a cringe-worthy feat of jackassery it is, she should consider it as a blessing in disguise.
Methinks she paid her cousin for the buddy pass upfront and believed that she was a paying AA passenger. In the video, she demanded to know the next flight that she would be accommodated on, and apparently, she was denied boarding again this morning.
I feel sorry for the little girl for having this piece of work for a mom.

she decided an internet rant was the better approach. Now I'm kind of curious what the final outcome was....might she still be at MIA?She also posted on Facebook "I am now being told I cannot fly using those tickets so once again I am refused To get on the flight supposedly due to my behavior as if I’m supposed to remain goddamn calm when my child and I have been traveling for almost 24 hours I have not slept since 5 AM yesterday morning and I’m supposed to remain goddamn calm" (sic)

I wonder if her cousin tried to pull one over on her as well with having her pay for the price of a ticket she found on a travel site. Can AA employees sell their buddy passes? I thought it was all "gifted".

Mind blown. There are very reasonable and minimal expectations of someone flying on a buddy pass. Bad enough to argue with the gate agents, even worse to blow it up on social media. I know a number of airline workers who won't give out there buddy passes for this exact reason.
Since she said cheapo air was such a good deal maybe she should just jump on there and book her ticket out of Miami.
Looking forward to more updates on this. Haha

The buddy pass still has some cost involved such as taxes and possible a segment fee. They can come close to the cost of a cheap paid ticket. Either way, what a sad story. It heart breaking to see mothers act like that in front of their children.

Is she a US citizen? If not then deport her back to Jamaica. Then she will get on a plane after all.
Did the police get involved for theft?
Social services needs to be involved for that pitiful little girl regardless of citizenship.

If she was admitted to the USA, it must be obvious she has a visa.

DYKWIA???? Her attitude is that I am entitled to do what I want, when I want and I will shame AA on Social Media, this BACKFIRED on her in my opinion. I don't know what the true circumstances were on how she got her ticket or what she paid for the ticket, but she was dressed like a homeless person and that is an insult to a homeless person. Her potty mouth and attitude are deplorable. Good for AA on enforcing the rules.
