“She asked me if I needed anything,” Sedway wrote in a Facebook video post that has been viewed more than 20,000 times in two days. “The first time. I said no. The second time, said, well I might need a bit of extra time to board, sometimes I feel weak. Because I said the word weak, the Alaska Airlines employee called a doctor, she claimed was associated with the airlines. After we board the plane. An Alaska representative boarded the plane, and told us I could not fly without a note from a doctor stating that I was cleared to fly.”

No, your employee didn't. Your employee acted like an ignorant prick.

Yeah, there was a personnel failure, there. A stupid lackey couldn't not have made that decision, it would have taken several people being stupid in conjunction with each other.

I'd say corporate lawyers scared them into being stupid.
