So here's the story as it appears in the Calgary Herald:
Woman says Air Canada humiliated her, booted her off flight over non-contagious rash | Calgary Herald
No doubt Air Canada badly mismanaged an awkward situation, but seriously needing a shrink because of it?
Long story short. The airline booted her from the flight telling everyone aboard she had a contagious skin condition. Had her checked out by an emergency doctor (Shingles=non contagious). Put her up in a hotel then flew her home first class the next day.
As I said at the beginning the initial incident was very badly handled. Highly likely a nearby passenger heard only the word contagious and reported it to staff. Overall a typical AC Fubar but hardly racist and IMO AC has done what it could to make it right, although a free round trip flight would be a good idea. Of course they might go ten toes up if the gave a free flight to every passenger upon whose toes they tread.

HALIFAX — An Edmonton woman says she was publicly humiliated and booted off an Air Canada flight after a rash was mistakenly labelled as contagious. Jeanne Lehman, a community activist and officer with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, said she is seeing a psychologist for mental trauma she endured boarding a plane at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. “How they treated me, I didn’t feel like someone who is an important client,” she said in a phone interview. “I feel, like, rejected and (given a) lack of consideration, you know. This is a shame for me.” Lehman is a black, French-speaking woman who calls the treatment systemic racism. Her trouble began when a rash appeared on the right side of her face during a trip to Halifax last week. Over the course of two days, the rash got worse and left her eye swollen. “At first I thought it was because I ate a lot of seafood and thought it was an allergy She went to an emergency room on Friday where the doctor told her she had a non-contagious rash and was OK to travel. |
