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 Insane!
I hope she wins !
Silly woman. Silly Airlines.
Absolutely stupid on the airlines part.
She should have asked for more than $5 million!

Totally absurd
Hi Stephen – from my bitter experience it’s not the Airline industry that’s the problem it’s the politicians and the “Agencies” they created as job creation schemes that are bleeding Aviation dry .Collectively they have multiplied the impact of terrorist atrocities by a factor of thousands!
Ok…..Simon….that was the long answer. 🙂
