Well Ms. Simon certainly has more class than Ms. Lee so you are correct there. She is a bit of a human rights activist, photo journalist/author dedicated to improving the lives of Guatemalans. I doubt Ms. Simon would consider herself a queen.

Now, will you again call me a RW dolt or will you come up with a new personal attack?

The only posts i would ascribe to right wing dolts are those that appear to be written by right wing dolts. There is nothing personal about it. Posts appearing to be written by right wing dolts are reasonably obvious. For all I know you may simply be a clever left winger trying to make the right wing look bad...and, if so, you are doing a fine job.

And of course she considers herself a "queen". That is what led to the attack.

How many of the common folk get into conflicts about first class seats?

Here's another very telling article about the history of this prima donna.

FFS, try some introspection.

How dare a member of the hoi polloi question the queen. Got it. Telling how you skipped over her being a human rights activist who has championed the welfare of Guatemalans for over 30 years.

Challenge yourself to communicate without calling people racists and queens. It is quite immature and a sign of insecurity.

Your post is more nonsense. That employees do not like a boss is not an unusual stance. It happens. I know a couple of bad asses who were great at what they did and hated to the last man. Once ran a hundred people in an organization based on hate of our bosses boss. Did wonders.

Why on earth do you think I like SJL? If she died tomorrow I would not shed tear one. And if she got devastated in the next election again not a tear.

Simply trying to explain to the idiot right wing how things actually work.

So you also believe a 53% turnover rate in one person's office is normal. Wow, you live on a completely different planet in every regard, it appears.

And Continental did complain about her when they were still in operation.

But don't let facts get in the way of your fairy tale that an errant thumb accidentally canceled a ticket.

As a Democrat, I'm embarrassed by the self-appointed queen and those who are bowing to her.

Both are queens and I know about it because for some years I was at least a prince.

So this is a queen versus queen dispute. Fighting about how their support system treated them.

Don't vote for her. I wouldn't either. But what has that to do with this incident?

Alas, if only people were as impressed with you as you seem to be.

I don't know, how often does this crap happen? Possibly a lot, we just don't hear about every instance - which doesn't make those instances any better OR worse, or the ones we do hear about (like this one) any more annoying to hear. Bottom line is, airlines have a lot of nerve pulling this type of crap with people - and again, we've seen too many similar bad stories this year alone, especially from United.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be walked all over and treated like garbage by an airline.
