"Okaaay, so I guess the person up thread, who was a worker in the airline industry and where I got my information, is just a liar. Made the whole thing up."
You are misrepresenting the other poster. It was her opinion and she stated as much. You decided to read selectively. Now, you are outraged that somebody pointed out the implausibility of that explanation.
I'm outraged? Wow, I didn't know that. I do know that I'm not jealous of them and I don't begrudge them their wealth.
NONE of us know what happened on that plane. The airline ain't talkin', the FBI ain't talkin' and the Osteen's ain't talkin'. We, all of us, are going by assumptions. I've read 14 different stories and scenarios about what happened, have read opinions of people in the industry and base my opinions on those options, the same as everyone else on this thread. I simply choose not to go on the attack, call people names, make wild accusations and assumptions, based on hearsay.
Now, I've got to go get ready for a houseful of company coming tomorrow. I wish I didn't have more important things to do than debate what goes on in airplanes, but unfortunately, I do.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

DG .... what is the scuttle butt in Houston regarding this incident?... I'm sure the street has several scenarios but there has to be one that is most likely.
I've heard of several things but the the one that made the most sense to me was the one with the tray table down and a drink, cola, was knoced into the seat. The attendant wiped it up with a wet cloth and didn't anything else at the time. I don't if there is the first shread of truth to the above.
If it is the case then it seems to me that the cushion could have been changed or a towel put down with un used plastic bags placed next followed by a blanket, etc. That should have made the seat dry for the trip.
It also seems that the airlines or the Osteens would make a definitive statement of what happened as they see it.. But suppositions have ran rampant from one extreme to the other, imo. If she refused to sit in the seat then they have little else left to do but deplane them it seems.
I think there was a reasonable solution for the event but reason seems to have gotten lost in the moment.
