In the footage, a gate agent appears to advocate for the passenger while the flight crew insists she must leave aircraft.

Pretty sure I’d get up and walk off the plane. Not sure I wanna be on that flight with that flight crew.

Not sure what these douche bags were thinking. Great advertisement to NOT fly Frontier though.

I'm a pilot (not commercial) and if you're still flying Frontier then that is kind of on you.

If you go to a party, how will you know which person is a pilot?

I don’t fly often… like maybe once every few years. And when I do my boss usually books the flight since It’s work related and it’s usually American or Southwest.

Is Frontier that bad?

Yes. The last time i flew Frontier they had such a long delay it would have been faster to walk. No that is not an exaggeration.

It is a low cost airline like Spirit.

So yes.

IANAL but it might be better for the future lawsuit to be forced off.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

No I meant just as a sympathetic passenger.

You’re likely totally right about the deaf person.

[–] exu@feditown.com 1 points 1 hour ago

But you still paid money for that flight and you don't get to your destination?

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 4 hours ago

Oh durr, yep, agree...not the flying experience I'd want.
