Don’t fly DL but how is this being ridiculed? (Tamar Braxton claim)
 
Guess I am the only one that reads Page 6. I do not understand how this is being “ridiculed”. Not sure what DL is looking into.

I feel bad for FAs and Pilots nowadays. Flying isn’t what it use to be.

Sorry, this isn't a "flying while black" as far as we can tell. If you can't follow instructions, the pilot needs to question whether or not you belong on the plane. The only ones that should be ridiculed (and maybe arrested) are those in the Tamar Braxton entourage... assuming things are as explained in the article. Full disclosure, I fully believe there are a number of "xyz while black" scenarios where there are genuine gripes from minorities.

Ugh. :mad::rolleyes:

Sounds more like flying-while-I-think-I’m-a-celebrity-but-I’m-really-basic-trash.

Just another loud mouth who thinks their opinion matters.

Who the h377 is Tamar Braxton?

“It’s crucial for the safety of every flight for customers to be willing and able to follow crew instructions,” a rep for Delta told Page Six in a statement.
Delta didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

I was at the JFK skyclub a few years ago and Tamar and crew went to the bar. They ordered shots of Titos vodka, Tamar gave her credit card and it was declined. One of her crew had to pay. Lol.

I have no idea who the person in that article is, but I'm always interested when I see passengers who... fit a particular description receiving a level of scorn and condescension from airline staff and FT that their white counterparts don't.

Sorry it has nothing to do with the color of your skin, rather the attitude and the behavior of the passengers

Meh, a lot of people received the alert, guess we were all just hoping no one would post it.

As a minority, I have seen that "Level of scorn and condescension" form airline staff against people of all colors, races, and sizes. While most people are embarrassed by it and would never record and or post it. Most so-called celebrities and uneducated people will try to use their status or race as the reason for why they were targeted, instead of looking at their own behavior.

It's amazing how so many people know for sure that race was not a factor in this incident.

It's also amazing that this hasn't been shipped to Omni
