The flight attendants apologized and immediately invited the mother and her teenage daughter to move to either end of the plane so that the seat area could be cleaned. The mother and daughter were also told that once boarding was complete they would be provided other seats if available. The daughter was also offered cleaning products and invited to use the lavatory to wash up. The mother was unsatisfied with the response and became disruptive. As a result, the flight attendants determined that the mother and daughter should be deplaned and accommodated on another flight. The mother refused, and following procedure, law enforcement was called. Law enforcement then requested that everyone deplane so that the mother and daughter could be removed allowing the aircraft to be re-boarded and depart. We apologized to our passengers for the inconvenience caused by the departure delay. The safety of passengers and crew is our top priority at Frontier."
I believe he was asking for someone who was actually there to chime in instead of just "Googling" it, yeah? I would like to know what "really" happened as well. I've see BS like this go down before, and I've also heard countless first hand stories of airplanes that were not properly cleaned after flights. I heard one first hand account from someone I've known for years about an aircraft that was not properly cleaned after a passenger had died on a flight in the front galley. The plane smelled of urine and feces due to the passengers bowls emptying, and then just received a cursory mop up job by the hazmat "cleaning crew". This is a huge problem at this airline and as usual nothing will happen unless it starts to cost Indigo money. I don't know what happened with the passenger or how she acted, but the story sounds exactly par for the course with this airline. I imagine this mother was totally ****ed off, just a livid as I would have been if my daughter had sat in someone else's puke, and I can also imagine some of our flight attendants not handling it professionally, inflaming the situation - this happens a lot as well. I have seen this movie way to many times and I'd like it to stop. It's disappointing, embarrassing, and demoralizing to read this crap in the news. The bathrooms are disgusting, the cockpits could feed an army of roaches, etc. etc. I have told management my concerns in face to face conversations with them as many other pilots have and there has been no action. So here we are, in the news again.
