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).
Some Airlines you can sit where ever you want.
She was in the wrong. She handled the situation completely wrong and evoked the response she got. $5 million is ridiculous… such entitled attitudes these days
So we’re supposed to allow black males to beat cops faces in but she can’t change seats?
Oh yeah makes total sense. NOT.
united sucks anyways
Emergency Seats!!Hell they’re all Emergengy seats when the Plane is crashing!!Get real.Weight and balance issues ?? Oh Brother!! What do they do?Askyou on the phone or questionair HOW FAT ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOUR BAGS WEIGH???
she would have notify the Airline in due time for the change to be effect before getting on board
Noooo. You wait till the plane has taken off and you change seats. Like NORMAL.
Stupid company!
Trying to fill up those privatized jails to earn money for the greedy one per cent!
If your on a plane and asked to sit down or go back to your set then you should do so. She even said she resisted arrest. I’m sick of people like this thinking they can just do what ever they want. Don’t feel sorry for her.
That is pretty much what she did. Or did you not read the article and just thought you could use your ESP to comment?
The airlines probably made a mountain out of a mole hill.
Airlines rules become out of control!! service is bad, delay most f the time all in the name of F security!! We want from airlines and security respect to passengers.. F homeland security rules
Is not a big deal if the seat is empty
