Southwest says dog allergies forced a woman off a plane. She has a different account
NOLA.com ^ | October 5, 2017 | Manuel Torres

The airline says that the woman had complained about two dogs aboard the Los Angeles-bound aircraft last Tuesday, stating that she had a life-threatening pet allergy. But the woman could not provide a medical certificate, without which the airline can deny a passenger boarding...

...

The passenger refused requests for her to deplane, and law enforcement was called in to remove her from the flight.

...

She was later arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, disturbing the peace, obstructing and hindering a police officer, and resisting arrest. ...

The woman...has a very different account of how things unfolded.

According to her lawyers, Daulatzai, a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, alleges that she never asked for the dogs to be removed from the plane, never claimed to have life-threatening allergies and was never asked for medical certification. She was forced off the plane, she alleges, because of who she is: a woman of color and of the Islamic faith.

...

Daulatzai had discussed her non-life-threatening dog allergies with Southwest crew members soon after boarding the aircraft, her attorneys say. But shortly after she had taken a seat at a safe distance from the dogs toward the back of the plane, a Southwest representative approached her, asking her to leave the plane. Despite assuring flight crew that she would be completely fine on the plane, her attorneys allege, Daulatzai was "pulled from her seat by her belt loop" and "dragged . . . through the aisle exposed with torn pants."

...

Bill Dumas, the passenger who recorded the incident and uploaded it to YouTube, told NBC News that while the police were being "overly aggressive," Daulatzai was also combative and "wasn't giving [the officers] much of a choice."

She wants to sue Southwest Airlines. Of course she has a different story. She made a big deal instead of taking a benadryl.

Sounds like a solid defense for the airline.

So either she complained about the dog because of her Muslim faith and southwest changed the story to cover for her racism. Or she’s just outright lying.

But then we live in Obamaworld now.

The cameras on the plane will tell the truth.
The numerous cell phone films from annoyed passengers will give the lie to her latest fantasies. Not the best liar I’ve ever seen.

IMO She is not allergic to dogs. Her religion demands that dogs not be in her presence.

Sometimes the plaintiff lawyer has already sent an “investigator” to talk one or more witnesses into backing up their story.

Not saying that happened here in this case.

Hoping to cash in on the white supremacy hat trick. Woman, color, muslim.

I hope that comes up at her deposition.

But then isn’t it also a fundamental principal of Islam that believers are okay lie to infidels?

Dogs on planes? Never thought about it, but is it a good way to deter Muslim terrorists?

Bacon sandwiches distributed to all passengers? Even better!

No surprise at all that she would downplay her own role in what she started.

Canine air marshalls greeting passengers as they board every flight should be the wave of the future.

It was reported earlier that this woman is a visiting scholar at Harvard.

“a woman of color and of the Islamic faith.”

Bingo.

Now it makes sense.

Here’s an idea.......let’s get working dogs to scout all passengers on every plane before it takes off. You know, in search of drugs, like they have at all the Border checkpoints here in the Southwest of the USA. Good idea?

We're a nation of diversity that should give passengers a choice:

Get sniffed by a dog or a pig or if they chose neither, let them travel by camel.

” a woman of color” that’s ok, but colored woman is bad?

And this is just Islamic BS, they hate dogs. Also note how she was screaming how she’s a professor. Odd.
