A New York man who says he was denied a seat on a five-hour jetBlue flight and was instead told to "hang out" in the plane's bathroom has sued the airline for $2 million, saying he suffered "extreme humiliation".
When Gokhan Mutlu arrived to check in for a jetBlue flight from San Diego to New York in February he was told the flight was full, according to the lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court.
But Mutlu was allowed to board after a jetBlue flight attendant agreed to give up her seat and travel in an airline employee "jump seat." It was not clear in the lawsuit whether the flight attendant was working.
But 90 minutes into the flight, the pilot told Mutlu the flight attendant was uncomfortable and he would have to give up his seat and "hang out" in the bathroom for the remainder of the flight, the lawsuit said.
The pilot "became angry at (Mutlu's) reluctance" and said Mutlu "should be grateful for being onboard," the lawsuit said.
When Mutlu volunteered to sit in the "jump seat," he was told it was reserved for airline personnel.
At one point, the airplane experienced turbulence and Mutlu sat on the toilet seat without a seat belt, causing him "tremendous fear," the lawsuit said.
the captain was so kind to look after the needs of the flight attendant

Sounds a lot more to this than meets the eye. Looking at some of the t'internet media (with all that implies) he had to return to his seat during turbulence - so which seat was he returning to?
Anarchist governments eh?

It implies that the cabin crew gave up her seat (a crew seat?) and used a 'jump seat' (I thought that was a seat in the c**kpit?) which would leave the passenger in a crew seat...then the captain asked this bloke to go to sit in the toilet.....and then asked him to return to his seat? No doubt as this is from a 'news' source half of the story is incorrect, a quarter of it sensationalist drivel and the remainder unchecked.
