A former Avelo Airlines flight attendant assigned to work ICE deportation flights under a contract the ultra-low-budget carrier signed last year with the U.S. government claims she was demoted, then fired, after reporting “serious… violations affecting crew and passenger safety,” according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
In her complaint, whistleblower Arianne Campbell, 49, says she raised “multiple” concerns to higher-ups about crews ignoring Federal Aviation Administration regulations, such as failing to conduct required cabin checks during takeoff and landing, exposure to communicable diseases and “unclear safety procedures for emergency evacuations.”
