  • Ok, it actually is the flight attendants job to make sure everyone gets off the plane, so… this is definitely a disciplinary offense, maybe even a firing one considering its something of a security breach. Lawsuit worthy, though…?

  • She slept through the landing? Unless she’s going to admit to being drugged or something, I’d like to know the names of the flight crew; I’d book with them anytime.

  • IANAL but if you sue you have to claim damages. What damages did she suffer? There was an interview with her of Fox News. I am being kind when I say the woman is a ditz. She had no idea why she was suing or what damages she was suing for. I am sure this lawsuit is Geoffrey Fieger’s idea. He hasn’t made a fool of himself lately so this is his chance.

  • She was able to sleep in a coach seat? Something’s fishy about this story!

  • Though she used her phone to check the time, she said didn’t think of calling for help, she said.

    I question this woman’s judgment.

  • Settle out of court for $1.

    Then sic the TSA on her. Clearly a security risk.

  • The airline should counterclaim for trespass.

  • Feiger’s the attorney?

    Summary judgement: defendant.

  • I watched her interview on Fox News. It did not go well.

  • Early one morning a few years pre-9/11 I was en route to St. Louis to meet a connection to New York and I slept thru the landing at St Louis. There was a flight crew change at St Louis which didn’t help. In fact I did not awaken until we were on approach to O’Hare. After a few minutes with the ticket agent at O’Hare, I found myself holding a first-class boarding pass to New York. End of problem. btw I am 6’4” and had no trouble sleeping at the back of a DC-9 in coach.

  • As a student I was twice locked into Widener library at Harvard when I failed to hear the closing bell and had to make my way down those great stairs in the dark. I eventually found janitors in the basement who let me out. I consider this a badge of honor rather than the basis for a lawsuit.
