Woman ejected from Jetstar flight for refusing to stow handbag

[MarrickG]

TAIPEI - A woman passenger departing from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport for Singapore was asked to leave a Jetstar Asia flight after she refused to comply with a flight attendant's instructions to place her carry-on handbag under her front seat.

The woman surnamed Chang and her daughter got onboard a passenger plane of Jetstar Asia that was scheduled to take off at 7.55pm last Saturday.

But she refused to follow the instructions to place her handbag under the front seat as all other passengers did, saying she had cash inside the bag.

Unable to persuade Chang, the flight attendant sought help from the captain, who told her to “get out” the plane.

Taking the captain's words in English as a public insult, Chang said she will hire a lawyer to sue the pilot.

The conflict caused a delay of 90 minutes as the plane took off at 9.25pm without Chang and her daughter, who were led off the plane by aviation police.

There was a big hoo haa on TV few days ago where the journalist interviewed the woman in question.

I felt strongly that the pilot did the right thing. Flight delay is a serious matter. If she sues the pilot, the rest of the passengers can sue her. If Jetstar was made to compensate Taoyuan Airport for the delay, Jetstar will counter-sue.

Airlines must enforce strict rules on hand luggages. KNN everytime see so many assholes bring big luggage to plane. CCB security risk and personal risk. All luggages bigger than 7kg must be check in. Make it compulsory!

The moment I saw the headlines, I knew it involved a Chinese female. I have seen this before and on a number of occasions. Coming into HK, the Pilot announced that due to strong cross winds, he will be diverting to Guangzhou. A lady in business class immediately stood up and told the stewardess that her husband will be meeting her in HK airport only and to notify the pilot that he cannot divert. There was stunned silence and then the whole cabin burst out laughing.

Give her a parachute and ask her jump out.
I am not sure what is wrong with Chinese women.
Excuse the language, but I think the whole problem with them is their hole problem.

look like taiwan woman, go to malaysia for holiday with her daughter. it is pretty rare for woman in taiwan her age to dye her hair like this. obviously she is a nut case.

【林金聖╱桃園機場報導】一名婦人昨晚帶著女兒搭乘捷星亞洲航空轉機前往馬來西亞，因飛機起飛時將提包放在腿上，空服員及機長上前請她將提包放在座位下，她都不願配合，機長一時激動，大罵：「GET OUT！」要求她下機，同機旅客也紛紛罵她「瘋婆子」，婦人認為受辱，下機後氣得向航警局提告，班機因此延誤90分鐘才起飛。


從事美髮業的旅客張美鳳帶就讀國二的女兒前往馬來西亞旅遊，昨晚母女倆搭乘捷星亞洲航空3K-522班機，該班機原定晚上7時55分起飛前往新加坡轉機，正當飛機脫離停機坪準備起飛時，空服員發現張女將隨身包包放置腿上，上前要求她放於前座下方，張女以包包內有錢，並稱多年來搭機都是如此故拒絕配合。
空服員因此向機長反映，機長隨後上前向張女說明，基於飛安理由要配合將隨身行李放置在座椅下，但張女仍不接受，機長因此在8時20分，將飛機開回停機坪，請求航警協助將張女母女帶下飛機。


延誤90分鐘起飛
航警接獲通報後，派出3名男警及3名女警登機將張女帶下飛機，張女事後憤憤不平表示要報案，指稱機上乘客罵她「瘋婆！」機長還要她：「GET OUT！」她氣得說：「這涉及公然侮辱，我要正式提告，還要向捷星航空求償。」由於張女一直要求機長下機道歉，航警及地勤人員不斷協調，過程中足足耽誤一個半小時，飛機最後在9時25分才起飛。
對於這起事件，國內航空公司華航表示，基於飛安，機長有權對旅客作合理的要求，「要求旅客將隨身物品放至座椅下，這是最基本的規範，因為身上的任何物件都可能影響逃生。」航警局則表示，雖然張女沒有觸犯《民航法》，但各航空公司都有其規定，提醒旅客要配合。

if i am on her plane with her, and lost 90 mins for nothing. very angry

lucky i never fly long distance on budget airlines or cheap airlines.
only short hop less than 1-2 hours, i might even consider budget airlines depend on situation.

so by not flying cheap airlines, i am avoiding a lot of people.

also i have to carry a lot of stuff, cheap airlines is really not suitable.

 

[redlightmeansgo]

fucking middle age crisis, can't decide whether she is Chinese or a fake ang moh. She felt insulted that the pilot barked instructions in English to get her off the plane.

Presumably the pilot was ang moh, she had probably thought the ang moh would have asked to fuck her instead.

Sounds like a sour puss.:oIo:

If I were the plane captain, I would have let her into to the cabin and flew the plane as per normal. When it flew over the pacific ocean, I eject her from the plane...:p

Don't ejected her; ejaculate her.

no, there is no ejection seat in passanger jet, you cannot even open the door when in the air, unless you fly really low, due to the pressurise cabin.

i know you were joking, but a human life is precious, joke about taking life is not cool.

yes you should be sorry, you should apologise to her, by marrying her daughter, then she become your mother in law.

Re: still my fav

I support the Captain decision. If Mrs Chang dare to sue the Jetstar, sure she will have to pay all the cost. Eg. flight delay, court, lowyer cost and parking fee for plane not cheap.
She will immediate withdraw the case when she saw counter sue letter from Jetstar.
