The woman, Cynthia McKnight, reportedly ran around on the airport tarmac before being apprehended by police, according to WIBV 4. McKnight's flight was on board an American Airlines flight bound for Chicago. (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sure hope the airline bills her for the full cost of her behavior- not just the labor and slide, but the lost revenue she caused.Maybe if more of these idiots had their feet held to the fire, financially, there would be fewer and fewer doing it.
Yes! I’m sure the new chute pack, cancelled flight, pax accommodation and MX crew amounted to a hundred thousand
bucks.
bucks.
This woman isn't even original, Steven Slater did this in 2010. From what I can find he paid the airline $10k for restitution and figure for the replacement are quoted at $25k. I would think it would be more than that...
I hate Buffalo too but this is taking it about tooo far! Lol
Seriously though, she should be banned fro fling any airline again, big fine, and some jail time!

Maybe she left her wings from Duff's at the gate?
Hope she faces civil and criminal penalties as well as a lifetime ban on commercial flights.
Steven Slater did this in 2010 and was charged with "criminal mischief".
