American Airlines Threatened With Travel Ban From NAACP After Passengers Removed For Body Odor

[American Greatness] American Airlines is under fire from the NAACP after 8 black men were removed from a flight in May following a complaint about body odor.

Last month three of those passengers filed a lawsuit against American Airlines, after alleging that airline personnel removed them and the other black male passenger from a flight from California to New York. A flight attendant had complained about body odor, though none of the passengers removed were accused of being the source of that odor.

A tweet shared by Collin Rugg alleges that the men who filed that discrimination lawsuit don’t even know one another....

After American Airlines offered to book new flights for the men
[so they could get kicked off that plane, too?]
but when no other flights were available at that late hour, they were all allowed back on the plane.

In 2017, the NAACP issued a travel advisory for the airline after what it described as "disrespectful, discriminatory or unsafe conditions" when booking or boarding with the airline.

Serious...
Is stinking like a pile of $hit in a crowded air seal compartment a right now?

What about the health and welfare of the other 100++ passengers? We have all bumped into the person that had to have bathed in perfume, walking around in Wall World or worse at a restaurant.

And it is not just so-called minorities that stink to hi-heaven, either.

Butt ☺ ! Now with that stated.
Anyone else noticed the abundance of TV /Streaming Body Odor commercials seem to be predominantly geared to certain demographics.

#5 I traded a seat so a man could fly with his wife.
I found her seat was in the tail of the plane where a 3 seat row turn to 2. Right next to the rear galley.

My 400 lb seatmate used two belt extenders and rolls of fat flowed over the armrest, and me.
The stews would not let me use one of their jump seats but they did offer me a personal drink service.

Now that flight was a gasper.
