He’s your president…but you can call him “Tweetie”.
YES! I’m delighted that Delta is taking the side of decency in this.
Calling my shot: He’ll be invited as a guest to the State of the Union Address by some Trumpy congressdoof.
NOW, I feel like the airline has taken the right action. I am not sure I understand how the cabin crew could have missed what was going on, unless they were helping other passengers stow their bags in overhead compartments. Will there be additional efforts to monitor passengers’ behaviors?
Disclaimer - I am Platinum this year on Delta (Gold, next year), so I am interested in the long term fix besides making this guy walk to Allentown, PA.
He didn’t have a beard or speak muslin.
I hope that flight crew has learned a lesson.
“After questioning the customer, our team members made the best decision
they could given the information they had and allowed him to remain on
the flight,” CEO Ed Bastian’s memo to staff
reads in part. “However, if our colleagues had witnessed firsthand what
was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed
him from the aircraft.
…
Removing this wack a noodle would’ve been entertaining to say the least since his tirade happened while the plane was in the air…
I’m so stealing that.
He should be banned industry wide. He’s a threat on any flight he takes. He has NO right to travel by airplane. I guarantee you had he had been a Muslim or Muslim-looking he would been kickoff forthwith.
Seriously, airlines seem to have a pretty low bar for disorderly conduct on flights. My understanding is this happened in the air, and it would seem that if the crew made the decision not to divert over this they could have at least have law enforcement meet him at the gate.
Good for them for the ban and for refunding the other passengers’ tickets, though.
Good for them. I mostly fly Delta and don’t want to see this nonsense tolerated. Flying is stressful enough.
That is so mean.
To Tweety, I mean of course.
So what’s the deal with that hand gesture? Looked like the “devil horns” you do behind someone’s head in a photo (yes, in some ways I haven’t progressed past 4th grade…)
Bet he was headed to some Pocono hinterland Klan rally…
If he had a beard, they’d have to canvas the area for fellow muslins.
“If our colleagues had witnessed firsthand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft.”
OK, stupid question here, but:
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FLIGHT CREW DOING THAT THEY DIDN’T NOTICE A MAN SCREAMING A STREAM OF OBSCENITIES IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED AIRCRAFT?!
Just curious…
Hey, the plane was in the air, and the crew did give him a 15 minute time-out in a corner.
So mature, these Trumpski supporters.
Trump has stirred up many crazy people. Look around.
Restocking the drink cart he’d recently bought out?
