I understand journalists get things wrong when publishing a
story, so not sure who’s correct.
The passenger claimed she was denied boarding and blamed a flight attendant. Flight attendants are on board 1/2 hour to 45 minutes BEFORE boarding even begins. If she had a problem before boarding, a gate agent would have been involved, not a flight attendant.
Passenger’s husband is unfortunately deceased. Died in 2020. Obit is online. His sister is listed as next of kin and is married to a woman. Yet the passenger claims she’s not familiar with gender pronouns.
Passenger is appealing to her social media fans on instagram. A “celebrity?”
The captain is the final say as to who is allowed to stay onboard when there’s a problem, and they are usually very fair. He wanted her off.
Jenna Longoria, the passenger.
I find it difficult to believe the Captain was personally involved in this little dispute. More likely, one of the trouble making flight attendants told the Captain something derogatory about the passenger, and on the basis of second hand information that may have been lies or exaggerations, he did what the flight attendant wanted.
Thanks for the background. It gives some support to your suspicions.
