United Airlines says it has apologized to a passenger and suspended the flight attendant at the bottom of the mess. The passenger said he tapped a flight attendant lightly on the arm to get his attention and the FA accused him of hitting him. It's not clear what influence the fact that the passenger was NFL Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis had on that decision. “This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide, and we have reached out to Mr. Davis’s team to apologize,” United said in a statement. “We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter.”
