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).
another stupidist thing i have ever heard ! when will the dummies ever stop !!!
They had to ask first for permission.
Everyone with any common sense knows that you paid for the seat you are $#%&!@*igned to and need permission to move to another one even if they are empty.
Agreed. Anyway it’s just good manners. What would happen if everyone decided to switch.
Yea right
I say boycott
bs
Then it would become musical chairs. Alison.
Boycotting Untied Airlines now.
At 68 , she came from a time when there was not Wehrmacht in place, and probably simply didn’t understand it is Germany circa 1935 here now. Airlines used to tell people to pick a more comfortable seat when the rows were empty.
