For land whales.
A plus-sized travel blogger staged a protest at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after she was denied wheelchair assistance.
Jaelynn Chaney, 28, shared a video of herself holding up a sign demanding ‘wheelchair access for all’ at the airport, which she has accused of ‘blatant discrimination’.
It comes after the influencer, who has more than 140,000 followers on TikTok, said she experienced an ‘ordeal’ while flying into SeaTac Airport in May 2024.
Jaelynn, who is reportedly a 6XL (UK size 24), accused an airport worker of refusing to push her in a wheelchair after getting off the plane because of her weight.
It clearly hasn’t occurred to the selfish, entitled, lazy pile of blubber that pushing her could injure the airport worker. No, of course not. It’s always about me, me, me with these people.
‘If SeaTac refuses to assist fat people, they need to have a written policy stating their discrimination outright,’ she wrote in her caption.
‘But instead, they lie, deny services, and leave disabled fat travelers stranded.
‘This is unacceptable and I will not stay silent.’
Okay, here’s some assistance for free: Stop filling your cakehole and lose weight, then no one will have to help you.
In her original video detailing her complaint against SeaTac Airport, Jaelynn – who can walk – said she always requests wheelchair assistance when flying.
And there you have it, lazy, self-entitled narcissist.
However, during this trip, she claimed that the employee assigned to help assist her from the entry of the jet bridge started to walk away when she realised she would be assisting Jaelynn instead of one of the smaller passengers.
I would have done likewise. Manual handling can ruin one’s health and pushing a lump like that around is beyond the call of duty.
Jaelynn claimed the employee also made comments about her size and ‘blatantly ignored’ her pleas for the wheelchair.
I suspect that this is exaggerated for effect. However, she will have been told by the employee that she could not help due to the above.
‘I was then forced to walk up one of the longest jet bridges I’ve encountered and she didn’t stop,’ the influencer wrote on her TikTok video.
She added that by the time she was allowed to reach the wheelchair and sit down, her lips were ‘white’, her oxygen levels had declined and she ‘almost fainted’.
‘This was my first time flying without oxygen,’ Jaelynn said.
‘This woman just assumed I could walk and would rather me do that instead of her having to push someone my size up the jet bridge.
‘All the other attendants wheeled their passengers up the jet bridge but my needs were disregarded.’
Eat less, exercise more. Expecting others to fawn about your every whim, putting their own health at risk is rampant narcissism.
Jaelynn said her ‘ordeal’ was an example of why ’employee sensitivity training’ was necessary to help plus-size travellers and is one of the demands in a petition she launched in 2023.
Fuck sensitivity training. Putting one’s back out pushing a lump of lard around is unreasonable in the workplace and employees have every right to refuse. That you are offended is neither here, nor there.
Her petition called on the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and airlines to give overweight flyers additional free seats to ensure they are comfortable while flying.
The only way this will work is if other people pay extra. See what I mean about entitlement? Lose weight, you narcissistic fucker. Eat less and exercise more and stop being a burden on those around you. No one is under any obligation to enable your behaviour or pander to your whims.
Another signatory said: ‘After being fat-shamed by a passenger sitting next to me, I no longer fly.
Result.
Low oxygen levels in blood makes lips turn blue. Death might make them white, but there would be other symptoms too.
Whenever I see someone like that in the queue for a plane, I think “I hope they’re not sitting next to me”.
did she pay for a second seat? If not I pity the person sat next to her. Maybe she should try dancing on tik-tok?
If this is the same one I’m thinking of, then yes, she is a very entitled, selfish, obnoxious and lazy young lady. She once complained about getting stuck in the revolving doors at that very same airport, despite being a frequent flyer from there and knowing that the doors exist. She has also complained that the corridors and rooms in many hotels are too small for fatties like her, and demanded they be enlarged. Erm..how?
Her best one though, I think was last year, when she took a trip to Europe and complained that the streets in many of the old towns she visited were not fat friendly and needed to be enlarged. Yeah, ok, super gut. These historic towns should widen streets that are two or three hundred years old, maybe even older, so that YOU can waddle your fat arse up and down them. Stop being a greedy twat, lose some weight, and you’ll find that the world is a better place than you think.
But if she lost weight and got down to a normal size she’d no longer have any reason to be a Tic Tac Sleb. She’d have to get a real job.
First rule of moving stuff at work – if it can’t be moved manually and safely then mechanise. The airport should have sent a fork truck . . .
American: Plus sized.
English: Fat people.
If this cow chooses to be fat, then airport staff can choose whether to push her in a chair, or not. Simple.
Is this that fat whap who picks a fight with every airline she flies with? Or are there more than one of them?
She’s not disabled, she’s fat
Maybe. But I think there are others. An army of land whales all moaning and complaining because they can’t control their food intake.
