Flying the Stinky Skies = $2 million?

CBS Reports:

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight from California.

Gokhan Mutlu, of Manhattan's Inwood section, says in court papers the pilot told him to "go 'hang out' in the bathroom" about 90 minutes into the San Diego to New York flight because the flight attendant complained that the "jump seat" she was assigned was uncomfortable, the lawsuit said. (source)

This suit set Eric Turkewitz at the New York Personal Injury Blog off on a very reasonable diatribe.  Turkewitz claims that this is the kind of suit that gives personal injury lawyers a bad name - and he is right!  The plaintiff has some opportunistic employment lawyers representing him.
