The Unasked Question about JetBlue and the Toilet Seat Flier
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.
