«Breaking News» American Airlines flight attendant files lawsuit claiming fellow stewardess attacked her on a flight

A Texas flight attendant is suing American Airlines after one of her colleagues allegedly attacked her during a flight and dragged her down the aisle by her scarf.   

In the lawsuit obtained by the Dallas Morning News, Kathy Ida Wolfe, 69, claims that Laura Powers 'maliciously dug her fingernails into my arm and slammed the door of a beverage cart on my arm' on a flight in June 2016.  

She alleges that Powers, 56, then 'grabbed my scarf, choking me, and dragged me in the aisle and in front of the passengers'.

Wolfe's lawsuit against American and Powers is seeking damages of up to $1million for negligence, dangerous work environment, breach of contract, and assault and battery.  

Wolfe, of Irving, said she immediately reported the attack to the captain, other flight attendants and the flight service manager, following company procedure to the letter.

When the airline 'failed to investigate and/or take action to ensure [Wolfe's] safety', she reported the assault and battery to law enforcement, the suit says.  

It does not appear that any criminal charges were filed against Powers, who is from Flower Mound. 

The suit was originally filed in Tarrant County in June before being refiled in federal court on Friday. 

American and Powers each countersuits claiming that they are 'not liable because Plaintiff caused or contributed to' the incident that Wolfe is suing over, according to court records. 

American spokesman Matt Miller told the Dallas Morning News that he couldn't comment on the specifics of the lawsuit but said: 'American strives to create a work environment in which all team members feel safe and respected.'

Wolfe and Powers declined requests for comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
