Deaf woman removed from Frontier flight for "not listening" - lemy.lol

Sounds like she was kicked off for an open beverage, and is trying to leverage her disability. Not sure one equals the other. She was not kicked off for being deaf

How does finishing an airport beverage get you kicked off a plane? I once brought a 5lb loaf of bread on in my lap and nibbled on it for the whole flight.

The disability is the only thing left after you remove the likeliness that she isn’t the first and only person to do this. Personality thrown to the side since rude/dumb people have also existed forever.

I agree it’s not enough to cast judgement here, but it’s enough of an omission for me to wonder what happened before the video starts (what else has been left out), so I’m not comfortable making any judgements. It’s much bigger than bread because alcohol isn’t bread especially at high altitudes: https://www.fodors.com/news/wine-and-cocktails/why-you-cant-drink-your-own-alcohol-on-airplanes . (The plane hadn’t taken off yet but it would.)
Well, there’s the people on the plane right there who are advocating for her. I rather doubt they would be stepping up to her defense if she was being a complete asshole to the crew.
that plus the gate attendant. but still, the passenger reactions could be explained by them only starting to listen in when she started to cry (and not whatever before) and we don’t really hear how the flight attendant appeared to exchange, so an unsure partial story
