It was from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and it was about Hannah Eimerss crash a few months earlier. Because she was at fault in the November crash in her fathers Volvo, the letter said, the state wanted her to pay up: $2,600 to install a new guardrail end terminal and $231 to get the highway safety device inspected nearly $3,000 in total. I was invited to a state House hearing, he said. Im anticipating a meeting with the governor, but Id like federal oversight on this.

That set off waves of anger on social media, with users criticizing what they called an intrusive, sexist policy, but the airline maintained its support for the gate agents decision.

United doubled down on that decision, defending it in a series of tweets on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
