Jean Mamakos, a 68-year-old woman from Long Island, is suing United Airlines for $5 million after she spent 3 days in jail following an arrest for attempting to change seats on her flight.
The charge for changing seats on on a plane? Get this: Trespassing
The story is baffling on several levels and garnered enough attention that it was featured on Inside Edition (watch the brief clip next).
This is ridiculous. Hope she wins the suit. Can’t believe she won’t.
I guess we won`t fly with them ,will go south west.
Freedom is almost gone in America.
I Will NOT be “flying” United!
Good for the airline!
What the heck?!?!
All she had to do was to ask if she could change her seat after the plane was airborne. She just got up and changed her seat. She was nervy!
She must have put up a big fuss for them to arrest her.
Unbelievable !!
Fly the friendly skies.
