Newsweek Magazine. Reporting news from the grave.
If they are not sold at the slightly higher price, the emergency exit seats are a bit roomier and are for Premium Plus customers, who fly with United over a certain number of times.
Typically the stewardess will ask the customer seated there, “If I’m incapacitated in an emergency, are you willing to open this door..?”
The FA was exactly right... emergency rows cost extra, and Murdock should’ve known that prior to the flight.
Imagine the chaos if everyone started switching seats after boarding. I’m with the airlines. Once the doors close no switching seats. FLying today is awful enough no need to add to the mess. People want their luggage directly over their seat so they will spend time rearranging other people’s luggage. Touching other people’s stuff is a no no. Unless you are looking for a lawsuit.
What isn’t racist these days?
Completely ridiculous, both the lawsuit and the garbage reporting.
Is Eric Murdock related to Roger the first-officer co-captain ?
Who filed this ridiculous lawsuit? Jackie Chiles?
Per NewsSqueak...
“According to court filings, the flight attendant reportedly asked Murdock whether he was “going to boycott” drinks when she approached him.
The 50-year-old “did not respond to the obvious race baiting,” according to the lawsuit.”
Has NOTHING to do with race.
It’s overtly racist to expect black entertainers (active or retired) to abide by the standard laws, rules and conventions that apply to the general population.
/s
Gotta say...I side with Murdock but it has nothing to do with race. The flight attendant is simply an @$$hole and should be fired for causing such a scene with a customer.
What kind of fish you catch with race bait?
Because I am 6’5”, I usually pay the extra price to sit in an exit row or some other row with extra room. It can run from $60-$80 for the extra room seats (double that if my wife accompanies me). That’s why it is irksome to me if someone simply moves to such a seat if the plane is not full. It is not fair the people like me who (over)paid extra for the seat.
These days, it’s best to assume that the ‘dark skin’ person bitching about racism is wrong and simply trying to stir up trouble.
When did he get out of prison?
Always have a whiner playing the race card.
Is this an adult son? Because I don’t believe someone under 18 is allowed to sit in the exit row.
Gasp! I just knew for sure he was an Eskimo!
i’m 6 ft 5 in
Would show my FD id and ask for emergency exit seat because had more room
That’s before airlines began to charge extra for such seats
On flight from Seattle to Newark the flight attendant asked if wanted to sit on empty emergency exit seat ...
Hmm, a Delta white attendant wouldn’t let me, a whitey, sit with my white child on a privately chartered flight. Then a Hispanic attendant tossed white tp down the aisle as a game.
Is it even remotely possible that a black person and a white person can have a disagreement or argument that isn’t racist on the part of the white person?
Rhetorical question. Of course not. It is racist to even disagree with a black person now.
