BOSTON (CBS) A New Hampshire woman believes her tweets about an incident at the Philadelphia airport got her booted from a flight. Lisa Carter of Exeter was booked on JetBlue Flight #760 to Logan at 8:30 Tuesday night. But it was delayed several hours after another passenger accused the pilot of being intoxicated. JetBlue says the pilot submitted to a sobriety test which he passed. Carter tweeted and posted photos of what she witnessed at the gate.

wanting to know the guy flying the plan is sober is whiny? I’ve flown a lot and seen a lot of crappy treatment by airlines.
From the article “But it was delayed several hours after another passenger accused the pilot of being intoxicated. “
100hours of video are uploaded to youtube every minute
Something like 700 million tweets every hour
What a cushy job! Imagine being hired to watch Twitter posting all day. Perfect for the Obama crowd.
Last night, I was a single female at the Philadelphia airport at midnight by myself. JetBlue never asked if I had transportation, accommodations and did not offer to book me another flight....”
I’m confused. I thought they were all strong independent Wymen who don’t need any special treatment ?
It’s relevant because she made her name known with the airline the flight she was on. I don’t care what she tweets, or what she complains about, but she made herself visible with the tweet. That’s why it’s relevant.
For 15 years I was flying weekly until August this year when I decided to change careers. Commercial flying sux. But I’d put money that this VICTIM did something to be the only person not let back on the plane. I’ve seen more bad passengers than I have bad crews. The article smells funny, something is missing.
So what if she made her name known?
Perhaps, the problems usually start with crappy service by the airlines.
I saw one guy complaining at the gate. He was not out of line at all.
The agent called security because the guy asked for the agents name.
I don’t care who she is, or what she said, but someone at the airline obviously did and the flight # associated with the tweet is how they found out who she was.
Don’t travel. That’s what I chose to do.
I work in the industry. I could tell some stories. As an FA, I’m sure you could too. And your right, as a dispatcher, if someone even joked about me being on duty drunk, or on drugs, legal or illegal, I would be yanked off line, and sent right to the drug an alcohol folks. Saying something like that is the same thing as joking about bombs or hijacking, IMHO..
What a cushy job! Imagine being hired to watch Twitter posting all day. Perfect for the Obama crowd.
My thought exactly. There appears to be some relevant information missing from the story.
