As a Spirit Airlines flight was delayed on the tarmac yesterday at LaGuardia Airport, a Lenox Hill Hospital surgeon—Mitchell Roslin (pictured)—requested some water for his pregnant wife. You know where this is going...
Around 200 passengers were stuck on the aircraft for two hours when the cabin overheated, so of course there will be requests for water during that time. And of course a doctor isn't going to take no for an answer when his 7-month pregnant wife is thirsty. But flight attendants denied his request, saying it was "against corporate policy" to give out water before the plane took off. Since they didn't have company approval to disperse the H20, clearly their hands were tied.
When Roslin kept asking for water—he, his wife and their two children were asked to leave the plane. He told the The NY Post, "I refuse to accept that people can't have a moral compass to give out water."
