2. I am ask the Federal Aviation Administration to providethe name and contact information of the man that sat on my left in my initial seat. 3. The expected substance is he witnessed firsthand, and commented, on me being mistreated and the unruly behavior ofthe flight attendant. 4. I do not have the name or contact information ofthe man that initially sat to my left on the airline. 5. I do not have the name or contact information ofthe man that initially sat to my left on the 

### airline. 6. I do not have the name orcontact information ofthe man that initially sat to my left on the 

### airline. 7. During this ordeal there was a period oftime where I asked questions that were in the public interest of myself and the passengers ofthe plane. The attendant reacted againstthese 

### basic questions with condescension and unfair behavior. 8. The young man sitting left ofme in my initial seatwas clearly caucasian. 9. He had raised his voice with Hight attendant and said such things as "you are being ridiculous" and she did nottreat him with disdain orforce him to move like she did with me. 10.

### A An attendant ofthe cabin crew approached me and rudely told meto turn off my any 

### devices. B. I responded with "Ok". C. As I attempted to power down my phone I encountered difficulty because of my phone freezing. D. As this was happening, the attendant came to me again and rudely barked an order to turn offthe phone. I responded with "I'm working on it" E. Then the emergency exit row briefing had begun so I stopped what I was doing and focused my full attention on the presentation. F. The attendant asked me, "Do you acceptthe responsibility ofassisting others in evacuation in the event ofa crash?" G. I responded, "Yes I do, but ifsomeone says "no" does it make a difference? Because in the event ofa crash is there a way of holding the exit row people accountable? H. The attendant responded by saying "You can't handle the responsibility, I'm going to move you to another seat" 

### I. I said "I told you yes and then all I didwas askyou an honest question because I am 

### curious". J. The attendant didn't give a clear answer, which confused me. She mumbled ''You are being difficult because you were slow atfollowing the rules". K. This was concerning to me because I have a health issue with my right knee, 

### Osgood-Schlatterdisease, which makes it extremely painful when I am not in a space where I can extend my knee. I have grown out ofit on my left knee, however I still experience pain with my right knee, especiallywhen it is not given the ability to extend for a period oftime. I have chosen exit row seats many times in past, without any incident, because it is the only way I can fly without immense discomfort.

a. The definition ofthis disease is as follows: 

### b. Osgood-Schlatterdisease 

### is a painfulswelling ofthe bump on the upperpartof the shinbone, justbelow the knee. This bump 

### is called the anteriortibial tubercle.

### 11.

### L. I attempted to explain this to the attendant however she kept rudely cuting me offand notallowing meto finish what I was saying. M. The gentleman to my left, who was white and appeared to be in his mid to late 20s, who I had never previously met in my life, noticed how unfairthis situation had quickly become and began speaking on my defense. He told the attendant, "I don't even know this guy and its obvious you are treating him unfairly. There's no reason for him to 

### move. This is ridiculous. You are being unfair and rude." N. Atthis pointthe attendant ignored him and asked the gentleman on my right "Do you have a problem sitting with his man in the emergency exit row?" 

### 0. The man who was asian and had black hair responded, "I sure don'twant to crash but I feel fine with him being in the exit row." P. The attendantfrowned at his response. 0. This is when I said, "Go ahead and askthis gentleman, because before this flight we've never even met each other." As I said this I pointed to the man on my left. 

### R. This is when the gentleman on the left said, "This man is totallyfine, there is no reason why he should have to move." S. This is when the attendant raised hervoice, sounding like a growl and said "Sir, you 

### must leave now." T. I responded with "My knee-" before she interrupted again by growling louder, "NOW'. U. Atthis time another attendant had brought a person up to the rowthat they had intended me to switch with. V. Atthis time I was very embarrassed and felt very disrespected. Even though I had these feelings I thoughtto myself"Whatever, I'll have knee pain forthe whole flight... it'sjust not worth it hearing this lady arguing anymore." 

### W. I looked overto the man on the left and said, "It'sjust notworth the fight, thanks for standing up forthe obvious." X. He responded with, "I'm sorry man, she is being ridiculous." Y. Atthis time I collected my items and moved to my seat. Z. I stayed in the new seat in tremendous pain in my knee, forthe duration ofthe flight.

A I stayed in the new seat in tremendous pain in 

### my knee, forthe duration ofthe flight. B. Afterthe flight, while Iwas departing my hands full with my belongings, Iwalked past the attendant, stopped turned around said, "What is yourfull name Miss?" C. She responded with, "You don't have to know." D. I said again, "What is your name miss?" 

### E. She said, "Leave this plane now." F. Then I said, "You have no idea the pain I had. Forthewhole flight it was locked down. Bad experiences like this will ruin US (Airways). I will give you a chance to apologize, otherwise I'll file a report." G. Atthis point she rudely ignored me and walked away down the aisle.12. See attached documents for proofoffinancial hardship.
