Attorneys for Davis still plan on filing lawsuit for mishap that found the former player in handcuffs
NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis discovered he was placed on United Airlines’ No Fly List after being removed from a flight last month when he attempted to get the attention of a flight attendant.
The airline issued a statement saying the ban has been rescinded.
Davis was released and cleared of any wrongdoing. United Airlines issued an apology and confirmed the employee was taken off duty.
Davis was informed by the carrier that he was not “permitted to fly on United Airlines,” although it was determined that he was not in the wrong.
“Adding insult to injury, @united not only had me removed from their flight in handcuffs, but placed me on their No Fly List after it was determined I did nothing wrong and was released. While my family and I continue to have difficult conversations with our children, I will continue to fight for what is right for all passengers of @united. Please contact @sgghlaw for any inquires, and please reshare this post.”
CNN reported that the airline sent the letter to Davis the day after the incident and that the ban was rescinded, and that Davis’ team was informed the following day. It was reported that the flight attendant is no longer employed by United Airlines.
Parker Stinar, Davis’ attorney said United Airlines’ claim of informing him that the ban was rescinded “is blatantly false,” and they were only notified after Davis posted the letter online.
“Engaging in tactics in an attempt to discredit the timeline of events is worrisome, to say the least,” Stiner said.
Stinar stated that there would be a lawsuit filed against the airline carrier.
