Ill downs-person removed from flight - Moneygrubbing fam: SUE!
Today when I read "I can't help but think..." then it's followed by the agenda-driven opportunistic morally-bankrupt issue, take it as a sign of a mental illness.

This is written by a Flight attendant from that airline; off the record.
The family was traveling from St. Louis back to Sea-Tac Airport. Once on board, the teen became visibly ill and ended up vomiting. This is not in dispute. The teen’s sister, Meaghan Hess, a third-year law student, admits as much.
When the family was booked on another flight the next day, they were all upgraded to First Class. That wasn’t good enough for Hess.
“I can’t help but think if a non-disabled child that threw up, would the airline have kicked that family off the flight,” she said.
She speaks like she’s planning a lawsuit and something tells me that if she was on a flight with someone vomiting in the aisle, she’d not be a happy passenger.
Perhaps this is me simply sticking up for my hometown airline or I’m just sick and tired of people screaming discrimination at a perceived slight. But Hess’ claims are absolutely absurd and she should be ashamed of herself. The practice of removing sick passengers from a flight is common practice.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
