A Delta passenger reported that a flight attendant told her he had photographed her while she slept and suggested he might post the image on Facebook. The passenger, Tasia Jewel, was traveling on Delta Flight 602, a Boeing 757, from Dallas to Atlanta to Mexico City. She had slept for approximately an hour and a half during the roughly three-hour flight after attending the Formula One race in Austin.
Upon deplaning in Mexico City, Jewel says a flight attendant told her, "Hey, yo friend, I took a picture of you while you were sleeping." Other crewmembers laughed, and the flight attendant repeated, "You might see it on Facebook."
Jewel acknowledged the comment could have been a joke and noted she had not spoken to the flight attendant during the flight. She reported feeling unsafe and filed a complaint with Delta. In response, Delta called her, apologized, and launched an investigation, according to Jewel's account.
The incident raises questions about employee conduct toward passengers. While Jewel acknowledged the possibility of joking, she expressed discomfort with a crew member she might have needed to approach for assistance making such remarks.
