Florida evangelist Whitney Lynn uses most of her flights as an opportunity to share her faith, a trend that was featured in a recent Washington Post article. On Thursday, she said, her sermon got her kicked off a San Diego-bound jet before it even took off from Orlando International Airport. She documented the removal in a series of videos she posted on social media, one of which had racked up 3 million views on Instagram by Friday afternoon.
While the headline makes it sound like three different airlines banned her, this is actually just one company, since Alaska already owned Horizon, and then Alaska and Hawaiian merged last year.
Incidentally, as a gold member of that of that company’s loyalty program, this news makes me even happier that Alaska is my go-to airline.
