With the whole #airindia case coming to light, I cannot truly explain how tired I am of entitled Indian men on flights. On my @emirates flight from Dubai to Delhi, a man asked me to sit in the middle seat, though I had booked and paid for an aisle seat. When I said no, he..contd
He said “aap ladies ho, aap andar baith jao.” Translating to because you are a woman you should sit inside. When I continued to refuse, he said “once I am drunk, then don’t blame me if i am on the middle seat.” He said all of this in Hindi, and while the crew didn’t understand
Everyone around me told them what he was saying. The @emirates staff first tried to tell me to keep sitting there, and when I loudly refused, they asked me to move right in front of the man who said “Dont hold me Accountable for my actions once I am drunk.” All because I wanted..
To sit in my own seat that I had PAID for. That is the entitlement of Indian men. On @emirates end they told me they have filed a report and will be in touch, but i never heard from them. I also told them I want to file a formal report, and was told they will be in touch.
It has been 3 weeks and I am yet to hear from them.
Finally, I was given another seat, and the man who had THREATENED me that he will misbehave after drinking, was also served drinks on the SAME flight.
