The deaf community should get together and lobby to pass a regulation that Flight Attendants have to do their safety speech with Sign Language for the deaf, and name it after the flight attendant who caused it, so every other flight attendant will know who to hate.

Oh geez, frontier claims she brought an open container onboard and that's why she was removed, not because of being deaf.

Wonder who's side of the story is true, witnesses' will come forward and this lady may get a huge lawsuit, or nothing. Only time will tell.

Wow. Terrible experience but she just won the lottery, that lawsuit will allow her to retire comfortably.

The footage, posted by TikTok user legallyswiftie13, captures a tense exchange between airline staff and passengers on the plane as the woman explains she is deaf and had already noted the accommodation on her ticket.

Frontier Airlines says passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing can request assistance either during booking or through the airline’s “Manage Trips” tool.

According to the airline’s assistance page, crew members can work with travelers to, “establish a way to share important flight information,” once they are on board.

The passenger, who is visibly emotional in the video, repeatedly says she is willing to comply, but feels humiliated by the situation.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” she says in the clip while gathering her belongings.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Air Traveler Disability Bill of Rights states that airline staff who interact with passengers must be trained to recognize and accommodate the needs of people with disabilities.

Lawsuit incoming. Or expect MAGA to overturn the ADA.

They also kicked off the blind lady for refusing to see reason.

In the footage, a gate agent appears to advocate for the passenger while the flight crew insists she must leave aircraft.

Pretty sure I’d get up and walk off the plane. Not sure I wanna be on that flight with that flight crew.

Not sure what these douche bags were thinking. Great advertisement to NOT fly Frontier though.

Sounds like a plot from a cheap comedy.

I know airlines must accommodate people with disabilities, but for this flight attendant they should probably make an exception.

Unfortunately I'm not even remotely surprised. Deaf and hard of hearing people are often targets of people who can't handle someone not doing what they say. Once those people feel their words aren't being shown proper deference some of them can't/won't stop their emotional response to regain dominance. Inability to comply (especially in someone who appears capable) becomes refusal in their eyes, and they'll just stretch it back to something we should have done to prevent them from feeling insubordinated. Cops are notorious for it.

I'd never even thought that one might need to tell an airline that you're Deaf. It's a difficult experience as someone hard of hearing, but it's difficult in the way dealing with the DMV is. Ideally you have a hearing person with you, and if not you bring a pen and paper to communicate when you need a shoulder tapped, and just run by context cues and writing for the rest.

Also I hope this lady consented to being recorded and posted. I'd be so humiliated seeing discrimination against me go viral
