At first, I was wondering why the FA didn’t just summon a CRO to handle it. Then I read that she did, and the CRO sided with the family, but the FA just wouldn’t give up. Yikes. |

Yep, I agree. Frequency doesn't make it socially appropriate (nor does it avoid tort). I suppose people have to learn one way or another :)

Yes. Right after the thread was locked there was a NBC report that said the pilots and crew were now grounded pending an investigation. It seems that the airline knows something is amiss as you don't just ground a crew and pilots based on allegations.
Link to story: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...ey-ve-n1043996 Edit: Thanks to the Mod for re-opening the thread so the new info could be posted. And if you read the article the family was affected by the customs computer outage. Very likely they did have assigned seats together on their original flights, so all of the arguments above about BE, etc are moot. |

What precisely do you think indicates that a story is "proven true?" Is there a roving Social Media Judge I'm unaware of that certifies things prior to them being posted?

Obviously missing the other side to this story. To be brutally honest I lost interest the second the author played the race/discrimination card as this is almost definitely not relevant to the story and just a way for the author to victimize him/herself further.
One of the biggest problems our country has in addressing racism is that (usually white) people don't believe people of color when they report racism. I mean, if the story is true, racism/unconscious bias seems to be one very plausible explanation for the apparently irrational behavior of the FA. |

Time to lock this one up and move on. Thanks for the interesting discussion

It's interesting that the pilot has also been suspended for siding with the FA. Maybe this will make pilots think twice before trying to kick customers off flights based on a report from a single FA without attempting to learn what has happened. |
