Men tend to sleep in flight, whereas women tend to be unable to sleep on a plane. It goes without saying there are many exceptions. One exception is Ginger McGuire, a 36-years old woman who works at a radio station and a local cable TV channel in suburban Detroit.
McGuire falls asleep on her red-eye United Airways Express flight from Washington, DC. The flight – operated by Trans States Airlines lands in Philadelphia just after midnight at 12:27 am.
She remains sleeping during the landing and nobody wakes her up.
The crew and passengers deplane shortly after arrival, but McGuire is left sleeping in her seat alone for more than 3 hours after everyone else has gone.
According to standard protocol the crew should make sure all passengers are safely off the plane at the end of every flight. In this case, however, it was not until 3:50 am that a cleaning crew found McGuire still sleeping on the plane.
She is suing the airline for false imprisonment, infliction of emotional distress and negligence.
