Elderly woman kicked off Delta flight for looking ill

Before Flight 19 would depart from Detroit to Orlando there was a problem. Hays said a passenger who was next to her decided to talk to the airline crew about her looking tired and drowsy.

"Then she came back and said they've moved us because I might be contagious," said Hays. "Contagious with what?" she wondered.

Shortly after that Hays said she was asked to leave the airplane. She said she was devastated.

"I started crying and crying," she said.

Hays said she was told if she did not cooperate they would call the police to escort her off the aircraft.
