So what’s the big deal about nail polish?
Good Lord
I am hoping there is something more to this.
if not how insane
SWA is MY airline and i have always loved flying with them. cattle call seating and all
Common sense would dictate that painting finger nails on an airplane is hazardous for 2 reasons. First, the odor is contained and everyone has to smell the odor of the fingernail paint for the duration of the flight. Some people won’t mind, others will mind, and some may be adversely affected in a confined space. Secondly, if there is some turbulance; the paint will spill and permanently damage the tray, seat or carpet. As a passenger, I don’t want to sit in a seat that is covered with wet, or dry fingernail polish.
So, it’s a fairly selfish and stupid thing to do. This is something that could be done elsewhere, that wouldn’t stink up a confined space and wouldn’t be on a moving platform.
What is the Flight Assistant supposed to do, when you politely ask someone to stop - and they essentially tell you to go #@$% yourself? If you allow it, you have no authority - so you have no choice but to escalate things.
Jeanie is an idiot. Forcing others to inhale these fumes is very inconsiderate.
From the article:
Officers requested the district attorney charge Daniels with "abusive profane language."
Actually, if she hadn’t cursed at the flight attendent, she probably wouldn’t have been arrested.
That being said....are you allowed to bring nail polish on board?
Good for Southwest. You don’t challenge the authority of the crew on an airplane that is 30,000 feet above the ground.
She was properly arrested. This should not even be newsworthy.
Unless there is a rule against using nail polish or it was causing another passenger to experience a medical problem the flight attendant exceeded her authority.
It seems wherever we go there are more and more people displaying Petty Tyrant Syndrome.
How does one "discover" they only had two nails left to paint? Does she have so many it becomes hard to keep track of them all?
Woman reportedly arrested for painting fingernails on Southwest Airlines flight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similar thread was posted yesterday. And for the life of me - I can’t understand the idiot headline writers.
The woman was NOT arrested over her painting her nails. I repeat.
The woman was NOT arrested over her painting her nails.
They should have tossed her out a door.
SW has some of the worst TV ads. Reminds me of TV shows of Ad Council spots.
I’ll take an inconsiderate female painting her nails over some dirtbag who has no concept of hygiene.
How did the flight attendant know she was painting her nails in the restroom?
SLUT!
I say HOORAY to SWA and the flight attendant who was not afraid to do her job. For anyone without sufficient imagination to realize the problem with painting your fingernails while in a crowded airliner cabin—just consider it equivalent to a small version of someone spraying their shoes with a can of enamel spray paint. The noxious odor would be in the air for some time and there would be the possibility of over spray and damage to the cabin. Further imagine that the “jack booted” flight attendant then said “Ma’am, please stop doing that on the airliner” and the poor innocent lady proceeded to continue doing it and loudly verbally abused the flight attendant.
I say that this is just another example of a (blonde variant) self-centered “Ah demands mah rights to do what ah wants to do” type. And, in this case, the 10 hours of inconvenience she “suffered” was well deserved and brought on by herself.
And for any of you posters who say you don’t or won’t fly anymore because of “jackbooted” flight attendants, I say thank you very much & keep it up. On my last flight to Tampa Bay I actually enjoyed some (rare on SWA) additional elbow room.
And, by the way, the only “jackbooted” South West Air flight attendant I would have seen would have been in a fantasy or a day dream. But in such a fantasy the flight attendant would be known as a “stewardess”, so it would be clear that it was just a dream.
Hope the handcuffs didn’t ruin her nails.
