But Mutlu was allowed to board after a jetBlue flight attendant agreed to give up her seat and travel in an airline employee "jump seat." It was not clear in the lawsuit whether the flight attendant was working.
So a bit of a dilemma, if the attendant was a passenger on the plane (probably on the way home, which usually means it was free flight) then most (I don't know what JetBlues policy is) airlines suggest the attendant actually give up her seat for a paying passenger.
Regardless she gave up her seat and pretty much this guy was wronged...it's unsafe, unsanitary, and honestly degrading, what they did, if you can't see that then yea... :/
Also...
The pilot "became angry at (Mutlu's) reluctance" and said Mutlu "should be grateful for being onboard," the lawsuit said. When Mutlu volunteered to sit in the "jump seat," he was told it was reserved for airline personnel.
You're kidding me right? They much rather him hang out in the lavatory than a free jump seat?
