Man says JetBlue made him sit on toilet for 3 hours

A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight ...

[LBJJ]

"How was you flight?"

The angry man replied, "The price was right, the crew was rude, the flight was bumpy, and there's blue stuff all over my butt..."

[LB Honey]

Maybe it was a "butt-y pass"
yeah i know that was a stinker
lol

[G Wiz]

Jet Blew it!

Wow...this is actually kind of funny, but sad too. If this was true, and I assume it was, the airline could face problems with the FAA, since we was not belted in. The flight attendant was very selfish in that she did not want to sit in an uncomfortable jumpseat and making a passenger (even if the passenger was on a free buddy pass) sit in the lav. If I were her management, I would fire her.

You guys are too funny. Sad thing is, this is just another opportunity for lawyers to make a lot of money off someone's stupidity.

[CHS]

I think this guy is full of, ahem, it.

Mile high club gone wrong?

What was on the inflight menu?

I'd fire that pilot as well for being inept in his judgment capabilities.

Does the toilet seat include one of those little TV screens?

[Berliot]

I read somewhere that on private jets, it is not uncommon for the nanny or similar low-status passengers to get strapped to the toilet during takeoffs and landings.

[CHS]

Did any of the paying passengers object to the same person's occupying the can for hours? It's not as if these planes come equipped with too many toilets!

Oh quit your whining. We sat on hard, cold perforated steel benches all the way from Andrews Air Force Base to Baghdad three years ago during the Bush/Cheney Regime Oil War or as the White House would call it the Persian Gulf War. Being a military transport plane you can guess how many seat belts did not work, no TV's, one cold bag meal and not even a ten year old National Geographic to read. No blankets (it was very cold) or reclining seats. Most of us wound up on the even colder steel deck of the plane.
No one complained. I mean who would have listened and a lot of us were not coming home alive anyway.

I love it when people complain we are in Iraq for oil. News flash, we have been in Korea for what, 58 years? We still haven't found the oil. Think about it.

Wow...was this on a US Airways flight? Actually sitting in a cold cargo plane with hard plastic seats or sitting on the cold cargo floor is much more appealing than US Airways.

If I were that man and I had to set three hours in a airplane bathroom I would have come out of there on a stretcher. The 'Blue Juice' smell is very toxic when you have to smell it for hours at a time. It will make you sick to your stomach and long exposure would sure make me dizzy or maybe give me contaminated lungs. I would be breathing very hard and turning blue by the time the Paramedics took me out of there and then to a hospital were I would get oxygyn and emergency room treatment at $ 800.00 for as 1/2 hour. By the time I felt bgetter it would be at least 6 hours and then I would be sick and vomiting all night. My Lawyers and the hospital would verify how sick I was after setting in there 3 hours or more.'Poor devil'. He's turning blue. Get me a good Lawyer and we will both get rich on this one.
Next time your on a airplane and you flush the toilet, breath in the spray and oder. After a few hours of use it's worse than an outhouse at a state park. How many hours was it since the fluid was changed and fresh 'Blue Juice' was put in?? Those are the questions the Lawyer should be asking. That 'blue mist' is nothing I'd want to be inhaleing for 3 hours.

Ipbd?? Did they give him a snack tray and a soda????

Ryan Air in Europe is planning to get rid of its seats altogether -- the planes will be equipped with a kind of backboard with straps on it. You get to stand up all the way from Dublin to Dubrovnik, or whereever.

Speaking of lawsuits against airlines, what happened to the young woman who claimed that her seatmate, urm, "pleasured himself" into her hairdo while she was sleeping on an AA redeye flight?
