The name Joan could easily be mistaken for Joe. If the booking was made over the phone, then the agents enters it as Joseph. It is her OWN fault for not checking the name on her BP. Why did the whole family leave grandma by herself?
@ Martin -- Good point, although when you book a flight the full name is required. Joan sounds like Joe, but not really like Joseph. She should have checked her ticket, which is the lesson we can learn from this. And I'm wondering why they left her behind as well. Although based on the amount of botox she has had I won't call her grandma -- that might just cause her to run out and get more. 😉
I think they came and got her off the plane and the rest of family had to stay onboard. thats's my guess,there's more in to it that we don't know.
poor Joan.
I'm guessing soon they will not allow people to fly without a reason ie:MR?
JOSH
At 4:55 in the interview she says that her family left half an hour before her flight.
What about the racial joke she makes near the end - ouch.
I guess in the checkpoints they figured she was a TV and didn't want to bring it up.
What a stupid B*&%c. Entitled is putting it mildly. Takes no responsibility for herself.
she is a liar... first she said her family left only hour half before her flight. later she fabricated this story about how wonderful these people were. driving 6.5 hours to San Jose airport. what a bitch!
