An incident involving a supporter of Donald Trump, who alleges discrimination by an American Airlines flight attendant, has recently come to light. This took place in the first class cabin of a domestic flight from Detroit to Philadelphia. The passenger, Heather Mullins, an independent journalist, claims she was served her beverage last in the entire cabin for no apparent reason and experienced rude behavior from the flight attendant.

Mullins detailed her experience on X (formerly known as Twitter), noting that the flight attendant skipped her when offering drinks to passengers. When she asked for a drink, the flight attendant curtly replied, "No. I'll be back for you." Mullins described the flight attendant's tone as nasty and noted that she was eventually served after everyone else, with other passengers reportedly noticing the behavior.

Attempting to file a complaint proved challenging for Mullins. She was directed to various supervisors and managers, with each one providing different instructions, ultimately being told to file a report on the airline's website. Despite her efforts, Mullins expressed doubt about the effectiveness of the complaint process.

As Mullins' social media post gained attention, American Airlines contacted her to address the issue. A spokesperson for the airline stated they are investigating the matter and reaching out to Mullins to learn more about her experience.

In a controversial move, Mullins revealed the identity of the flight attendant involved, sharing her face and badge number online. This action raises concerns, especially in the politically charged atmosphere leading up to the elections. Simple Flying has inquired with American Airlines about their policies on photos or videos of flight attendants, and further updates are expected.
