...Alaskan State Senator Lora Reinbold who repeatedly fought with American Airlines about mask-wearing, harassing their boarding staff and flight attendants. Well, they got fed up and banned her from flying with them anymore. With only American Airlines flying her route to the Capitol in Juneau, her options for travel were rather limited. Delta is the only other large carrier, but their service for that route is seasonal and ends this week. Hence her request for an exemption from voting, an excusal that would see her getting paid, but not actually having to go to work again until January.
...
A flight that normally takes less than 90 minutes will take her two days by car.

(58,785 posts)reportedly reviewed her case again after the initial indefinite ban and let it stand. Can't imagine why.
She could just stay in Juneau until the session finishes.

(23,083 posts)She should have to attend. She's the one that made the choice to be a fuckhead, she should live with the consequences. But repugs think there are never any consequences for them, the white and rich.
