Outrage as U.S. Airways attendant refuses to let veteran hang up his medal-filled jacket to stop it creasing - telling him closet service is for first-class passengers only

US Airways has sparked outrage after a flight attendant allegedly refused to hang up an Army Ranger and combat veteran's jacket to stop it from creasing.

First Sergeant Albert Marle was wearing a jacket lined with medals when he boarded Flight 1930 from Portland, Oregon, to Charlotte, North Carolina, yesterday.

But when he asked an attendant to hang up his 'Dress Blues' uniform, she reportedly refused, saying the coat closet was for first-class passengers only and he was seated in coach.

When you travel your clothes get wrinkles. I've seen travel bags for pressed clothes. Changes clothes and shower after arriving.

No veteran or member of the armed forces should ever again fly US Air. In fact, family included.

He is active military and im sure he has flown numerous times so he should have known better. Because a company follows its policy doesnt mean they are wrong......they have policies for reasons.

I wonder if First Sergeant Marle would be willing to ignore military policy for someone. This flight attendant was following her company policy. The End!

I thought it was bad when government interfered with private business?
The attended was following the policies of her private employer.

No special privileges, you want your jacket hung then fly first class.

You are all full of it. This man is a decorated serviceman that has served many years. Some military units require their members to fly in uniform. How GD hard would it have been for this snot nosed rag, to have honored the years of service this Real Man has given to this country by hanging up his coat. You a**holes are sick and what's wrong with this country. I wonder how many of you idiots have served!
