Abraham Lunger and his wife, Miriam, were removed from their JetBlue flight after the rabbi stated that he could not sit next to a woman, leading to a heated exchange with the crew.
JetBlue's motion to dismiss highlights that their policy prohibits passengers from switching seats, stating, 'Plaintiffs breached JetBlue's contractual policy and were removed from the aircraft as a result.'
Civil rights attorney Ron Kuby commented that the situation was not about antisemitism but rather a common inconvenience: 'We have all ended up in seats that we don't like on an airplane.'
The pilot informed Lunger that moving seats would create a 'weight imbalance' on the plane, further complicating the situation and ultimately leading to the couple's removal from the flight.
