"She said Victoria Osteen pushed a flight attendant and tried to get into the cockpit. Passengers quoted in the Colorado paper did not address those details."
In that case, it's a shame this pilot obviously wasn't carrying a weapon. Force your way into the cockpit, get shot. Problem solved.
Well, I suppose it's possible that Ms. Steele is lying about being in the seat behind Mrs. Osteen, and so nothing like this transpired. It's also possible that Mrs. Osteen was deathly allergic to the enemy liquid in her TRAY and so she COULDN'T, oh, grab a cocktail napkin and wipe it up herself...I guess...
I just called Lakewood to see about christmas day services and they are having 830 and 11 am services
She's a freak. And, somewhere, one of their "flock" is writing a check to them that will pay for yet another purple wig.
I've done that very thing on flights I've boarded (the seat was in Coach, albeit).
In Mrs Osteen's seat a baby's full diaper had suddenly discharged. She asked for the seat to be mopped up and cleaned. The stew took a wet cloth and wiped the seat (before leaving to throw up) but left residue of the baby-poop and left the seat wet from the rag used to wipe the poop up. It was wet and smelly. The stew would not clean it further. Mrs. Osteen was insistent and I do not blame her as I have been is a similar situation. No one wants to sit in a wet, poopy seat for three hours.
That's nice, but I never asked about that...
How did a baby discharge a diaper in her seat?
That's a flight attendent, not a waitress. During takeoff, they are responsible for safety, not cleaning seats.
Yep. He takes money from other churches.
The lavatories are available during boarding. She could have gotten a towel and wiped and dried it herself.
Throwing a hissy fit is not a classy, graceful way to deal with a rather minor and insignificant situation.
She deserves the humiliation that has been heaped upon her for this incident.
One didn't, of course. I was just having some fun with the subject material, the passive voice, and the idea that stewardesses have nothing more important to do before takeoff than janitor work.
Anytime a minister has a website in which asking for donations is as much a part of the web site as spiritual guidance, I am highly skeptical.
Well it's certainly understandable that she would inconvenience hundreds of other customers and cost the airline thousands of dollars because she didn't want to sit on a damp seat or on a towel, or have her husband sit on a towel or, God forbid, clean it herself to her own satisfaction.
sorry .. i just clicked post reply ur nic was the last one.. :)
She is said to have refused to follow orders from the hostess. I would bet she was told to sit down in the mess and she refused. She was also said to have "approached the cockpit." I would guess she was on the hunt for some paper towels or someone to clean up the seat so she could sit down. Also, it is said she attacked the hostess but if this were true she would have been arrested so it was probably a lie reported earlier.
Airline employees are the pits. They have too much power over passengers and can abuse them freely. If you complain, they can have you thrown off the plane.
A worker is worth his hire.
However, I can't bash a pastor for taking a nice vacation once in a while. Or even having a nice house.
I'm not sure what your point is.
...and where was Joel during all this mess? He could have easily said to his wife to calm down and let while he cleans up the mess.
Oh yes...Joel should have kept his wifey in line. You nut case!
