United just keeps popping up in the news. That being said, I was on a flight where two Arab dudes were told to get off because they smelled so bad. It was unreal how you could smell the guys several rows away. So I think I back United here.

Of course, she says it’s racial discrimination and wants punitive damages. It will be interesting if a court finds that bad hygiene is a protected cultural right.

quote:

One Nigerian woman is taking United Airlines to court, alleging that the carrier racially discriminated against her in removing her from her flight at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport after a fellow passenger complained that she had a “pungent” odor.

On May 11, Queen Obioma filed a federal discrimination suit in Texas, stating that she and her children were wrongfully kicked off a flight headed to San Francisco on March 4, 2016, the second leg of a three-flight trip from Lagos, Nigeria, to Ontario, Canada, where her kids attend school

This shite could happen on any airline. You see this in the news because it's on a United flight.

I can't imagine being closed in a tube with someone who had that level of b.o. and having to endure it for multiple hours.

I swear, a writer would cringe at naming a fictional character something so obvious.

Many don’t have access to a shower, and personal hygiene products are expensive.

I was just making a joke about her name. Looked like a reply to you because you were the last post before mine.

This one was flying her kids to school in Toronto. I don't think that was the case here.

I hold my breath anytime I notice a line for the flight to Lagos forming and I have to walk past it.

It's obscene.

Flying is a privilege based on your ability to pay for a ticket, follow rules and apparently shower
