Oregon mom to sue United Airlines

0

An Oregon woman announces that she intends to sue United Airlines after her family was kicked off a flight last week during an unscheduled landing. Donna Beegle was flying home to Portland from Orlando on United Airlines Flight 1535 with her autistic 15-year-old daughter Juliette, son, and husband. The conflict initially occurred on May 5 after Beegle (and the flight crew) had problems finding Juliette something hot to eat. Beegle explained that Juliette can be a picky eater and sometimes throws temper tantrums if she does not get what she wants. She added that she will be filing a discrimination lawsuit to ensure that the Captain and flight attendants get training on how to deal with people who have autism. United stated that the flight crews did their best to accommodate Juliette, but made the best decision for the safety and comfort of all of the passengers and elected to divert to Salt Lake City after the situation became potentially disruptive for all involved.
