United Airlines took my seat and gave it to a politician: woman

A teacher from Washington, D.C., accused United Airlines of booting her from her first class seat in order to give it to a congresswoman, she wrote in an account that the politician has since contested.

Jean-Marie Simon was at Bush International in Houston on her way home from a trip to Guatemala last week, when she witnessed U.S. Rep Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) get ushered onto the plane before everyone else lined up, she wrote on Facebook.

When it came time for her to board the Dec. 18 flight, Simon said the gate attendant told her that her ticket was not in the system.

“A second United agent confirmed that I had no seat, not just the first class seat I had purchased, but no seat, period. I didn’t even have a reservation anymore,” she wrote.

That is why you print and carry your receipt and boarding documents with you when traveling.

So if she didn't have a seat(ticket) then how did she make it through security to begin with. Either United Airlines is lying or we have a big problem with TSA.

This is the same Black Politian that screams about "white privilege". This is an example of "black privilege" by a Black Politian. Just another Black / Politian proving they are a hypocrite.

Miss Simone, you are a school teacher in Washington DC that probably makes you a liberal. Don't you understand that your liberal ideas make the government and the politicians first. Just be thankful that this politician still let you on the plane.

So not sure what this has to do with race when we see it happen with any political figure. How the Hell does she even know it was her seat if she was put on the plane before everyone else. Oh it wouldn't be a problem if for some odd reason if they had been a white politician according to all the comments

well, she was flying on united so she should consider herself lucky that she only had her seat stolen, she could have been beaten senseless and thrown off the plane onto the tarmac and left for dead by united.
everyone knows what united is capable of so anyone who still flies untied has NO right to complain about how they are treated by united.
