American Airlines policy change makes it harder for flight attendants to kick passengers off flights for non-safety concerns (people with BO get to stay on flight)

The move comes after an incident over the summer where American was sued by eight Black men kicked off a flight over an alleged body odor complaint.

Maybe I need to bring a mask afterall....just in case.

[God luvs America]

I wonder if this has anything to do with wearing MAGA hats on flights....

[vespa300]

I don’t think so. I think it’s because they kicked off some guys with BO and got sued. Bring a mask just in case. We never know who we get to sit inches from for hours on end.

Or maybe a clothespin.

Can of RAID?

[vespa300]

yeah...might makes things a bit awkward though with the source of the funk sitting inches from you. hahaha....:)

Vick's Vapor Rub. Apply below the nose. Refresh as needed.

I had to sit next to a guy who weighed 500 lbs., no, more like 700, on a seven hour flight. He didn’t have BO, but he did sit in both my seat and his. He was a Jehova’s Witness.

Imagine airlines to didn’t put up with any nonsense. No rowdy behavior. No disrespect to staff or other passengers. No body odor. No morbidly obese. First class food and drink even for Coach. That airline will have a waiting list years long to fly on

[crusty old prospector]

Do masks repel BBO?

[Rural_Michigan]

Supposedly Pan Am is coming back and is aiming for that

[vespa300]

Well, not sure but I think they have scented ones. Doctors wear them during surgery and I figure that’s no pic nic when they do colonoscopies and stuff.

I flew when people being ‘odoriferous’ could be removed. Soap is in every single public restroom in the United States and is free. There is no excuse.

[vespa300]

Wow, everyone’s nitemare. I board fairly early, group 3 and as i see them coming........I’m praying....Please not this row, please keep walking....unless of course she’s cute.

And box cutters are just useful tools for these hard-working passengers.

[vespa300]

Yeah, agree. Planes be a no funk zone.

[Valpal1]

Stinkbalm is what nurses use.

[AndyJackson]

“ unless of course she’s cute”

How’s that working out for you?

[tumblindice]

There really is no polite or tactful way to say, “Hey man. You smell like a goat.”

Why should Spirit Airways passengers have all the fun?
