@SpiritAirlines I wasn’t the one inconvenienced, your international travelers were inconvenienced. One of them, Marta, is still not on her way back to Ecuador and is stuck in country where she cannot speak the language. Maybe try to make it better for her.

Today I served as a translator for @SpiritAirlines
After a flight cancellation for an inability to fix a broken part on the plane (yikes), non English speaking passengers were completely uninformed about how to proceed because not a single staff member spoke Spanish.

[V Darby Moore @VDarbyMoore]

Not only was the staff unable to help passengers who didn’t speak English, they made no effort to seek outside help for them. @SpiritAirlines, if you’re going to offer international flights to Latin America, you must have resources for Spanish speakers!

@Eliz_Hobson @NSF @BiologyUC @uofcincy Liz, you’re the world’s best cheerleader! Thanks for being in my corner. I certainly couldn’t have done it without your mentorship!

[V Darby Moore @VDarbyMoore]

@Eliz_Hobson @DerryberryLab Liz, we can TOTALLY do this.
