A Tigard mom claims a major airliner kicked her family off a Portland-bound flight because of her autistic daughter. The incident happened Tuesday after the pilot made an emergency landing in Salt Lake City.
Dr. Donna Beegle and her family, including her 15-year-old autistic daughter, Juliette, were coming back from Disney World and on a connected flight from Houston to PDX at the time of the emergency landing. Beegle, a public speaker, says Juliette has flown most of her life as she often brings her along on her speaking engagements. Until Tuesday, she says, there had never been any issues.
Before boarding, Beegle says Juliette had refused the food they bought. In an attempt to prevent a meltdown, Beegle asked a flight attendant if they had any hot food. She also would not eat the snacks they brought on board. Juliette, like many people with autism, is clinically picky about the food she eats. Juliette is high-functioning but has extreme difficulty verbally communicating.
After a 25-minute back-and-forth with a first class flight attendant, Beegle says she was told the crew could not accommodate her daughter because the family was sitting in economy.
And that was when I just kind of said, ‘You know what? Maybe after she has a meltdown and she's crying and trying to scratch, then you'll help us,’†Beegle said.
The flight attendant eventually complied and then about 30 minutes later, a member of the flight crew announced the plane would be making an emergency landing because of a passenger behavior issue.
“Then the police said,’ Well, you know, we're going to have to ask you to leave the plane.’ And I said, ‘I don't understand why? There's no issue. What is the problem?’ And he said, ‘Well, the captain doesn't feel comfortable flying to Portland with your daughter on the plane,’†Beegle continued.

So she demanded a hot meal from her psycho-tard and no doubt for herself, and resorted to threatening the staff and the rest of the passengers - yet wonders why she got booted from the plane. She can file a lawsuit, but I can't see it getting any further than a settlement. The staff did all they could to accommodate this Moo and her tard, but she lost all defense when she resorted to threatening the staff and passengers.
Interestingly, I've pulled up this bit of background info..."Dr. Donna M. Beegle, is an authentic voice who speaks, writes and trains across the nation to break the iron cage of poverty..." So she's a motivational speaker for her consultation firm 'communication across barriers' - methinks this is just a big, self-serving publicity stunt for her consultation firm, so she can launch a new speaking engagement about discrimination against those who are different or something to do with treatment of autistics.
Funny thing is that she's supposedly some successful president of a consultation firm, she'd be able to easily afford first class, or at least pass it off a business expense.

Oh no, not just hot mind you, but "steaming" hot. The moo said steam had to be rolling off the food in order to please the tard. The moo looks insane and of course, they're already saying they're going to sue the airline.
