Demonta Roach, a U.S. Navy sailor, has prompted an investigation into Frontier Airlines after employees allegedly denied him access to a flight. Furthermore, Roach is alleging that the employees tried to extort him.
Per the U.S. sailor, the employees allegedly demanded he pay them hard cash in order to board his flight.
Was this just a random, alleged scheme? Or is there a more significant issue at play with travelers being taken advantage of by airlines and their employees?

More Details On Demonta Roach’s Claims Against Frontier Airlines’ Employees
According to Carter, the incident involving Roach occurred at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport. Roach had reportedly arrived two hours early for a flight to Los Angeles. Once his flight was delayed, he decided to purchase food a short distance from his gate.
However, when he returned, Roach was allegedly told it was too late for him to board. In order to make his flight, he was allegedly instructed to pay the Frontier employees.
“You tryna get home or you tryna get left?” a Frontier employee is heard asking Roach in footage he captured on his cell phone.
