BREAKING!!!
Dem Congresswoman BUSTED STEALING From Woman On Flight Home.
Well, here we go again, folks!
The woman with one of the lowest IQs in Congress strikes yet again and scandal-ridden United
Airlines is right smack in the middle!
A passenger on an airline flight scheduled to fly from Houston to Washington D.C. is
publicly calling out United accusing the airline of forcing her to give up her first-class
seat to U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston).
When she complained, the airline threatened to remove her from the plane.
Jean-Marie Simon is a 63-year-old attorney and private school teacher.
She used 140,000 frequent flyer miles on December 3 to purchase her first-class tickets intended
to take her Washington D.C. to Guatemala and back home for Christmas.
When it came time to board the last leg of her flight home from George Bush Intercontinental
Airport on December 18, after a roughly hour-long weather delay, Simon said the gate attendant
scanned her paper ticket and told her it was not in the system.
The attendant then asked her – "Did you cancel your flight?"
Simon replied – "No.
I just want to go home."
Apparently, the fact that she pre-purchased seat apparently did not matter.
She was told her seat, 1A, was already taken.
Simon was then given a $500 voucher and reseated in Economy Plus, row 11.
Simon states she later learned that Jackson Lee was the person her pre-purchased seat
was given too and accused the congresswoman of receiving preferential treatment.
United Airlines denies the accusations of showing preference.
After the flight was delayed, Simon said she saw Jackson Lee board with a flight attendant
before the other passengers.
She said she did not know who the congresswoman was until another passenger told her.
Upon boarding, Simon went to the front of the plane to see who had claimed her pre-purchased
seat and snapped a photo of the congresswoman in her reserved seat.
She then posted it on social media, stating –
Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) in seat 1A the one I paid for dearly and the one United gave
to her without my consent or knowledge!
Fellow congressman on same flight said she does it repeatedly.
After snapping the picture, Simon went back to her seat.
A flight attendant then came and sat down next to her and asked if she "was going
to be a problem" on the flight.
In response to Simon's accusation that she was shown preferential treatment, Jackson
Lee claims Simon only targeted her "because I was an African-American woman."
Meanwhile, Unites Airlines denies they showed a preference at all.
United is claiming Simon's seat was given up after she canceled her flight through the
United Airlines online app.
United issued a statement, stating –
"After thoroughly examining our electronic records, we found that upon receiving a notification
that Flight 788 was delayed due to weather, the customer appears to have canceled her
flight from Houston to Washington, D.C. within the United mobile app.
As part of the normal pre-boarding process, gate agents began clearing standby and upgrade
customers, including the first customer on the waitlist for an upgrade."
Simon vehemently denies that she canceled her ticket, stating she has been a United
customer for more than a decade and part of their Gold Elite club.
She also states the Washington Post refused to report the incident claiming "ambiguity"
as to what occurred after she sent the reporter a screenshot of the United website showing
only one "inactive" reservation – a flight to Houston in August to visit her daughter
that she had to cancel because of Hurricane Harvey.
United says the screenshot would not show the December 18 flight as canceled because
Simon did eventually end up taking the flight.
The teacher said she was so distraught by how the airline treated her that after she
arrived home she wrote a letter to the CEO, Oscar Munoz, and posted it on social media,
stating it is absurd to claim that someone travelling home for the holidays would suddenly
and inexplicably cancel their flight on the second leg of a trip.
"It's just impossible to suspend disbelief and swallow that story that I canceled my
flight," she said.
Simon has asked for a formal, written apology.
Others on the flight have verified Simon's story and claim to have witnessed similar
behavior from Jackson Lee on previous occasions.
"I've seen Lee and IAH cutting in line and rudely taking advantage of her status
before.
United knows she will play the race card if she isn't treated like royalty so they just
give in.
They don't care about a hard-working teacher vs a privileged idiot," one person tweeted.
Jackson Lee has issued a statement as of Saturday afternoon about the incident attempting to
play the race card, stating –
"I asked for nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary and received nothing exceptional
or out of the ordinary.
Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared
to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along
with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice.
This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work
on to help people.
But in the spirit of this season and out of the sincerity of my heart, if it is perceived
that I had anything to do with this, I am kind enough to simply say sorry."
Simon also denied any suggestions that SHE was a racist in this situation, stating –
"I had no idea who was in my seat when I complained at the gate that my seat had been
given to someone else.
There is no way you can see who is in a seat from inside the terminal."
However, Jackson Lee's past history seems to support Simon's version of events.
One person said he had witnessed Lee "cutting in line and rudely taking advantage of her
status before."
He claimed that United knows Lee would play the race card if "she isn't treated like
royalty."
According to the Standard, reports from back in 1995 when Lee first came to Washington
D.C. surfaced with claims she was routinely chauffeured to all locations even if the trip
was as little as one block in a government car at the taxpayers' expense.
United Airlines has experienced a number of public relations nightmares with relation
to its customer service or lack thereof.
The most notorious of which involved Dr. David Dao in April 2017 where security personnel
forcibly dragged Dao off a plane to make room for United crew members on a flight from Chicago
to Louisville.
Dao refused to give up his seat and was left beaten and bloody as a result.
The incident was caught on a cellphone video and posted to social media where United received
extensive backlash after it promptly went viral.
