A Black man from Arizona and 4 other people filed a joint racial discrimination lawsuit against American Airlines after the man was removed from a flight.
"It was the passengers around him that implored him, 'Sir, you didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't be getting ejected from the flight,'" Salazar said.
The airline company said that Banks had requested to relocate to the first-class cabin and was told that he was not eligible to do so and to stay in his assigned seat. "Discrimination of any kind is not acceptable and does not align with our values, which is why we launched an investigation. We are continuing to review this incident, but we believe that the allegations are not a full or accurate portrayal of the incident," the statement read.Brandy Flowers, one of the passengers on the flight and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, told KTLA that she spoke up because"silence is not an option anymore.
