Just to play 'question everything' like I was taught by the 60's....
This was a journalist who made the complaint...
She got a refund as a result of the complaint...
She 'claims' that the guy was ill before the plane took off (has this been confirmed by anyone else?)
She says the flight attendants were all there, but doesn't say whether or not they actually noticed the passenger - why didn't she say something?
How do we really know that the passenger was ill before the plane took off?
we only have her word to go on... and she got a refund... hmmmmm
