United Airlines Passengers Face No Fly List Threats for Innocent Actions
A United Airlines frequent flyer, who is a 1K member, was threatened with being placed on the "no fly" list after requesting a leftover first class meal. The incident occurred when a flight attendant named Sheletha confronted the flyer for accepting the meal, even though another flight attendant named Susan had served it to him. The flyer was warned that accepting the meal could result in being denied boarding and being put on United's no-fly list. The flyer later received an apology from the captain, and it is suggested that United should adopt an approach like Air Canada and sell leftover premium cabin meals in economy class.
