Pretty sure I’d get up and walk off the plane. Not sure I wanna be on that flight with that flight crew.

IANAL but it might be better for the future lawsuit to be forced off.

You’re likely totally right about the deaf person.

But you still paid money for that flight and you don't get to your destination?

I'm sure one could stir up enough of a shit storm in this situation to get a different flight
