About a year ago during summer I was traveling internationally on a JetBlue aircraft. One of the crew member got upset because my daughter (at the toime 15 yrs old) was taking too long to put her luggage away and threatened her to kick her off the flight. I could hear the conversation from 2 rows down so I approached the crew member and calmly I told her that I didn't appreciate her tone talking to my child and the threatening was unnecessary she was just taking her book and blanket out she ll be done in a second with my help . Another crew member approached me and standing behind the person I was talking to reached out for my forearm and squeezed it,telling me to look at him in the eyes he also added for me to shut my crap up or he ll kick us off the flight. He kept squeezing my arm harder and harder asking me to reply yes sir, and to keep my mouth shut. I asked him to let go of my arm but he wouldn't and kept repeating Himself while adding pressure to my arm.I was in shock i started shacking and I got scared so I finally said "Yes sir " he let go of me and I and walked back to my sit. My husband didn't see any of it but saw the look on my face as I was walking back to my sit. As I was explaining to him what happened the same crew member that grabbed me walked right back to my sit and told us I had to get off the flight. At that point my children were confused and my husband started asking him
Why, the man kept yelling that I needed to get off, my children were scared and started crying it was so aftert 15 minutes of drama we were escorted out and all 9 of us were kicked off the flight. I missed my mom surprise birthday because we had to spend the night at the airport to catch the next flight to our destination. They changed our tickets with out charge but made us pay for all expenses for the overnight stay. our vacation was ruined, I was traumatized and couldn't stop thinking of the man eyes and threats. My children at the time (15,10,8,5) also were so scared and talking about the whole time we were away . It was a very dramatic experience and I couldn't shake this stranger touched me making me feel fragile and vulnerable. When I got back home I called the corporate office and I asked them to look at their cameras right by the pilot cabin (that where it all happened) and after investigating they offer me to reimburse my hotel stay and give me $900.00 credit to apply to my next flight.
It has been 2 yrs and everytime I have to fly somewhere I start shaking and my heart raises. I get panic attackand I get nervous and intimitaded by any flight attended that approaches me, I guess in my head they can just do whatever they want. One word and I am kicked off the flight and my plan will change at my own expense. At times out of the blue just by thinking of that day, I get angry and start to cry like a little girl that was scolded and obeyed to a total stranger. I still have nightmares about crew members and traveling. I feel like justice was not served I want to know if I can still report the physical
Abuse that I have been trying to shake off for the past year and half. thank you for your time .
