A woman who was told to switch seats on a plan to accommodate the faith-based sexism of ultra-Orthodox Jews has received an out-of-court settlement from the airline.
Melanie Wolfson had been traveling from her home in Tel Aviv, Israel to the UK on two separate occasions when these incidents occurred:
Those Orthodox men should make those arrangements when booking their seats or gotten 2 1st class tickets. I have had flight attendants ask me to move my seat. I was compensated. Not $20K but a voucher. I couldn't refused but I didn't. I wouldn't moved for free. It seems to me the two woman who traded with those two religious wingnuts should have been the ones compensated. If I sued every time I'd been inconvenienced I'd have retired a long time ago.
