By now, you've undoubtedly heard about Gokhan Mutlu, who's suing JetBlue because the airline allegedly forced him to sit on the toilet for an hour and a half during a California-New York flight.
If not, here's the quick version of the story: Mutlu had a voucher from a JetBlue employee which got him the last available seat on a flight February 16. He claims that after a flight attendant complained about her jump seat, the pilot bumped Mutlu from his seat--and into the lav. "Go hang out in the bathroom," the pilot supposedly told him; he's asking for $2 million for his troubles.
We think there's more to this story, but here's the one thing we really want to know: Shouldn't the other passengers on the flight be the ones suing? After all, they were the ones denied access to the bathroom! We're not begging to spend a whole flight trapped in a smelly, drafty, teeny lavatory, but at least we wouldn't have to hold it the whole flight.
