An Orthodox Jewish couple from Brooklyn has filed a lawsuit against Spirit Airlines, alleging that the crew of a January flight discriminated against them because of their faith. Once on the plane, however, the lawsuit alleges that the couple was again told by a flight attendant they needed to stow the equipment. As they were later being escorted from the plane in Fort Lauderdale, the couple claims they learned a staffer had made the disparaging anti-Semitic remark. The flight crew of the Flight was discriminating against them because the Sternbergs were Jewish,” the lawsuit alleges, adding that the couple was subsequently “forever-banned” from flying with Spirit again. "Aboard that airplane, the Spirit Airlines flight attendants were in positions of power, given to them by federal law," said Rodal in a statement obtained by WLPG.
