I’m a little confused about who are the pigs on the AA flight. It looks like this is a photo when disembarking? If so, it’s the passengers who are pigs — in which case the poster has some nerve to call out AA on it.
Wait…. The Only Fans “influencer” is an ironman competitor and complaining the FA couldn’t lift her bag alone? I guess she’s not a very successful ironman competitor — or just a prima donna…
Airlines generally discourage flight attendants from lifting passenger bags into overheas bins due to the risk of injury. Some do it anyways.
Should ‘Istanbul Airport” not include SAW? I realize the newer airport is IST, but it was confusing.
The owner of a service animal that attacks or bites anyone should be banned from the airline.
The airsickness outbreak probably ignored the first rule of flying: Don’t Eat The Fish.
I would lift the bag for the OnlyFans model if she was seated next to me. No need for the flight attendant to possibly get injured.
It’s a very simple “rule”: if you can’t lift and stow your bag, you packed too much.
I’d assume any modern building like the Istanbul Airport would have had sprinklers… since that doesn’t seem to have worked, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of arson.
