Terrell Davis on United Airlines

Former NFL star Terrell Davis has publicly criticized United Airlines after being handcuffed and removed from a flight, subsequently receiving a 'No Fly List' notice despite being cleared of wrongdoing by FBI agents. The incident occurred when Davis tapped a flight attendant's shoulder to request a cup of ice, leading to the attendant accusing him of hitting them, which resulted in law enforcement intervention upon landing. United Airlines has issued an apology but stated that the letter placing Davis on the No Fly List was automatically generated and quickly rescinded, with the involved flight attendant no longer employed by the airline. Davis, however, expressed his disappointment, stating that United failed to show genuine empathy and accountability for their actions. He continues to advocate for change to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The airline's policy requires a review of such incidents before allowing Davis to fly with them again.
