Jet Blue Staff-Punching Lady Released from Jail

The Queens woman who is accused of verbally abusing and punching Jet Blue flight attendants during a flight from NYC to San Francisco was released on bail yesterday. Christina Szele was allegedly drunk and caught the crew's--and fellow passengers'--attention when she lit a cigarette on the plan. She had been in a Denver jail for the past week and a half; 1010 WINS reported, "The magistrate who set her bail ordered her not to travel on planes or drink alcohol."

JetBlue will likely reimburse her for the unused portion of her flight -minus the cost of diverting to Denver and inconveniencing all the other passengers and crew. If they were smart, the City of Denver would spring for that one-way bus ticket.

I need to get her number her defense was she does not remember any thing. And since she did pay for a trip to NYC will Jet Blue then pay for her bus ride or train ticket from Denver?
