It wasn't such a "happy jettiing" experience for a New York man when, he claims, JetBlue forced him into the bathroom for three hours of a cross-country flight.

Gokhan Mutlu says it all happened Feb.23, when a flight attendant volunteered to sit in a "jump seat" so Mutlu could make it onto the flight headed from San Diego to New York, according to the New York Post.

About 90 minutes into the flight, however, Mutlu says he got a rude awakening when the pilot informed him that the flight attendant was uncomfortable in the jump seat and would be taking the regular seat back, the paper reported.

According the the suit, the pilot went on to inform Mutlu that the jump seat was for "personnel only" and forced him to sit in the bathroom instead, the Post reported.

Now suing JetBlue for $2 million, Mutlu says he was "mortified, disgraced, degraded and shamed," according to the Post.

So that left one bathroom out of commission. Everytime I've flown, the flight attendants are usually busy the whole trip, sitting on take off and landing, with maybe a few times in between, but not for long....Couldn't imagine half of a trip, sitting on a toilet... huh.gif

They were doing him a favor. Maybe he should get a refund at the least for the seating but 2 million dollars because he took a favor? Give me a break.

I am personally terrified of airplanes. I mean SCARED! I have nightmares at least twice a week about dying in a plane crash. These are not dreams where you wake up before you die, I feel myself on fire, or drowning, etc. Any time I fly, for two days after the plane ride I will be extremely sick. If this was to happen to me, you can bet your butt I would be suing. No seatbelt on the toilet, nothing! I cannot even imagine, I would probably die of a panic attack before the plane landed.

Maybe you died in plane crash and were reincarnated? Airplanes are really safe only problem is if something goes wrong more often than not everybody dies.
