United Airlines says flight attendant in Terrell Davis incident is no longer employed and NFL legend’s ‘no fly’ ban is lifted

The flight attendant involved in an incident that led to Terrell Davis’ removal from a United Airlines plane in handcuffs “is no longer employed” and the NFL Hall of Famer’s “no fly” ban has been lifted, the airline told CNN Tuesday.

The flight attendant involved in an incident that led to Terrell Davis’ removal from a United Airlines plane in handcuffs “is no longer employed” and the NFL Hall of Famer’s “no fly” ban has been lifted, the airline told CNN Tuesday. United’s statement came after Davis took to social media Tuesday to share an emailed letter notifying him of his placement on the airline’s no fly list following the July 13 encounter. United said the letter was sent to Davis the day after the incident, and that the action has been rescinded and the change was communicated to Davis’s team the following day. Additionally, the airline said the flight attendant involved in the controversy is no longer an employee. It was not immediately clear if the flight attendant’s employment status is a result of the incident involving Davis. CNN has asked United for more details. Davis’ attorney Parker Stinar said in a statement Tuesday United’s claim that the “apparently withdrawn” ban had been communicated to Davis’ lawyers “is blatantly false,” and only following his social media post did Davis become aware of the ban being rescinded. “Engaging in tactics in an attempt to discredit the timeline of events is worrisome, to say the least,” Stinar said.
