What would you do if you found vomit on your airplane seats and you told the stewardess and she didn’t seem to care?
Well, whatever this lady did caused her to be arrested and be thrown in jail:
She had been in Nevada for a wedding with her 14-year-old daughter for Easter weekend.
Swinney said boarding the flight back to RDU was already delayed so the staff could clean the plane.
That’s why she was surprised that the seat was still dirty when she boarded with her daughter.
“She jumped up to say mom! My hands are wet. She smelled it. She says ‘this is vomit, mom.’ So we went to look. It was on the bag, all over her shirt, her hands,” Swinney said.
That’s when Swinney alerted a flight attendant.
“I don’t know if she got offensive about it. But she turned around to me and said, ‘that’s not my job.’ If it wasn’t her job. Why wasn’t it attend to?” Swinney said.
Frontier Airlines said in a statement that “the flight attendants apologized and immediately invited the mother and her teenage daughter to move to either end of the plane so that the seat area could be cleaned.”
The statement also said that “the mother and daughter were…told that once boarding was complete they would be provided other seats if available.”
Swinney, however, said the flight attendant never attempted to clean up the mess and did not reassign her seat.
A woman who said she witnessed the exchange posted a similar account on Facebook, saying that the attendant said it wasn’t her job to clean up the mess.
Swinney said she confronted the flight attendant again and that’s when authorities were called to remove her and her daughter.
She was then arrested in front of her daughter and tossed into jail for 12 hours.
Here’s a news report about what happened:
Here’s more video from the plane:
It’s tough to know what happened exactly with the different accounts. I could definitely see a passenger getting really angry over vomit on her seat, but I could also see someone get irrationally angry about it. I’m gonna reserve judgement on this one until there’s more evidence out there. It suffices to say – vomit on an airplane seat is sooper-gross.
