Mom, Daughter Kicked Off Air Canada Plane, Not Told They're Banned from Airline Until It Was Too Late
A Quebec woman wound up spending nearly $8,000 in airline tickets to fly herself and her daughter home after Air Canada kicked them off a plane and didn't immediately inform them that they were banned from future Air Canada flights. Air Canada says the two were ordered to leave their flight, departing Bucharest for Montreal on July 31, because of disruptive behaviour. (www.cbc.ca) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I smell an easy money law suit...
The airlines need to have in-cabin cameras to protect themselves from these frivolous lawsuits.
It is not just the airlines but trains,resturants,hotels,car rentals and most service orented businesses that seem to be having more and more trouble with people not wanting to follow the rules or have an attitude of a priviledge type person.Proper behaveure and politness seems to be rare in a lot of people.I saw a video last week of a passanger that put his bare feet on the video screen to his front in the airline seat and had to be told about not to do it it several times by the crew.
Ten to one that these two did not learn anything about what happened as in their own "self-importance heads they have not the intelligence to analyze what went down in what order and how it could have been avoided.
The story is that the seating was rearranged by the crew to ensure families could sit together, but then a crew member and the mother have a heated exchange about why she was not in her assigned seat...? Why? Why would the mother and the crew member not simply go to the assigned seat and then verify who was telling the truth - and the crew member could then decide to move the man back (I assume that he must have been moved by another crew member - so the two did not communicate), and the issue could be very easily and efficiently be dealt with. I hear so many of these stories about people getting into heated exchanges on western run airlines, but I don't recall ever having had any bad experience with incorrect seating in an Asian airline... ever... and I fly internationally a LOT.
Another bad rap for Air Canada. I keep reading how rude & inefficient Air Canada’s crew is, even in Business Class. I’m in Australia & I made a mental note, a while back, to NEVER fly Air Canada. On the face of this story seems to me the crew was at fault. How can they order move people’ to move seats once they’re onboard? Mother & daughter should sue the airline. Agree with some earlier comments.
