Chelsia Blackmon’s attorney filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on November 16, saying that her client was wrongfully terminated, Business Insider reported.

According to the complaint obtained by Fox Business, Blackmon was hired after she passed all the training and compliance protocols, including being able to buckle the seat belt in the jump seat. The suit noted that she had worked for several flights, including multiple Spirit Airlines Airbus 319 flights beforehand.

On September 3, 2021, Blackmon was assigned to work on an Airbus 319 flight; however, she could not buckle herself into the jump seat using the seatbelt. She was then forced to deplane.

An investigation was held and she was sent a letter on September 27 asking her to appear in person on or about October 8 to demonstrate she could fit into a jump seat, the complaint reads. At the meeting, she was again unable to buckle herself with the seat belt.

Read this story a few days ago, and now too. Not a single picture of said agent.
My guess is she is a porker.

Someone in HR needs to be fired, they hired this blob.

Even though I owned my own company I had to do business with the HR departments for a few major corporations. Most of the HR employees were very large females and I swear they all wore nearly the same clothing; nasty flower print dresses printed in baby poop brown and turquoise. They were stupid beyond belief and had egos the size of the planet Saturn.
