JetBlue Sued Over Flight Spent on Toilet

May 14, 2008 · Filed Under Aviation Related 

A New York man, Gokhan Mutlu was denied a seat on a JetBlue flight before a flight attendant offered to give up her seat and fly in the airline employee “jump seat.” After an hour in flight, the off duty flight attendant complained to one of the pilots that she was uncomfortable. Mutlu said he would sit in the jump seat, but the pilot became aggravated and told him that the jump seat is for airline employees only and that he should “hang out” in the bathroom, on the toilet, for the remainder of the five hour flight. Mutlu is suing JetBlue for $2M USD because the flight experienced turbulence and he had no seat belt while on the toilet, claiming he was scared and humiliated.

If this is true, then Mutlu will definitely get something out of this lawsuit. I do not believe he will win the full amount he is suing for, but I don’t blame him for being angry. I would not want to pay for spending four hours in a lavatory on an airplane. I wonder if he was still offered his meal and beverage?

    Ouch, I bet that guy will win the suit. He'll get a quite a bit, not 2 mil but I think a lot.

    Just saw a new ad for jetBlue the other day, they didn't mention sitting on the toilet seat as "Jetting".
