Horrible Flight on United
Dec 17, 2007 1:13 AM
|
|
I flew out of the Country on United Airlines; October 11, 2007 My Flight home was October 31, 2007.The gentleman sitting in front of me was white and I am black and Native American.. I tapped the person on the shoulder and said excuse me I can not get out of the seat and I need to use the bathroom, he said it is broke.; I had to squeeze out of the seat, which caused my pants to fall down. When I returned from the Bathroom, I could not fit in my seat so again, the male steward came over, and actually began insulting, me "You can't take her kind anywhere", and told me I was ignorant, I should shut up and sit there with this mans head in my chest, the steward said I had amble opportunity to pay for extra seating. The purser asked, "am I the one who will not allow the gentleman to get comfortable. I explained how far back the gentleman?s seat was. I also told how rude, and prejudice the remarks that the male steward had made against me, and how he continued to talk badly about me with the man sitting in front of me making racist comments about my nationality.I was charged at three Airports extra fo r the same piece of Luggage: at three international airports (which where apart of my flight):, the Representative placed my carry on bag next to my luggage on the belt, which made it too heavy I had to pay to ship the same suit case I came with home. I emailed United last week and reported my complaints again:via email and they claim they never received any complaint card with the captains signature for my refund. I telephoned United again about the problems I had encountered and to find out "why I had not received the refund I was promised. I spoke with a customer service rep named Wayne who told me that the incidence that I experienced did not happen, and that there was no complaint filed from the airplane and no email was sent.I appreciate any help or assistance you can provide.

I did nothing of the sort! What I did was more making sure we didn't have to do an emergency landing somewhere. There was a nurse with me as well, so it was definitely a team effort to get this fella back to his normal L.O.C. (Level of Consciousness).
I did almost have to chuckle, when the F/A brought the defibrillator over. (No thanks... he's not that serious!)

Or at least chew gum anyway! I'm just glad that on that day, I wasn't in my usual state of consciousness during travel!

Hah, good story.
I am currently in training as a lifeguard, which means I am CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguarding certified. I wonder if I was in this situation, if I would be qualified (or should help).
