Video here (NSFW language; audio is muted by default).
Apparently he was removed from he plane before takeoff but then allowed back on. Delta acknowledged that that was the wrong call.
Mr. Trump’s reward for bad behavior was winning the Presidential election; IMO we should not allow his supporters who exhibit bad behavior to be similarly rewarded. Good job, Ms. Baum; better late than never, Delta.
That few seconds of video alone hardly seems sufficient for a lifetime ban. But it sounds like there was a sustained barrage of obscenities shouted at other passengers both in the terminal and the plane. That’s a judgment call for staff who saw it, I can’t see how you can assess that from the video. In any event, his political affiliation is irrelevant.
The passenger in question was threatening and belligerent. It’s one thing to be an asshole, it’s another to be an asshole at the top of your lungs and verbally accost people in a confined space with no escape. He should be forever banned from ALL airlines.
I don’t think you can ban someone for life for being a drunken idiot. If every drunken idiot were banned from flying, how would airlines stay in business?
Exactly this. Since Hillary supporters are the most racist, bigoted, misogynist and evil people , even more so than Hitler, it is our duty to stop them from murdering brown people. Especially them murdering brown people on airplanes.
Of course you can ban somebody for being a drunken idiot, you just can’t ban them for being a gay, lesbian, black, mexican, female, elderly, drunken idiot. How many people do you think are drunken idiots on flights? Not enough for airlines to assess the damages drunken fools are causing on flights vs. their value as paying customers and determine they are making the wrong decision. I think they’re safe banning one fool for life.
How many flights have you been on with people behaving like drunken idiots? My answer is zero. People usually just sit down and shut the fuck up on planes. Unless you’re sitting next to me, of course. Then you want to chat about what you had for lunch or your cat, Miffles.
No, no, I exaggerate. On 95% of flights, the person next to me shuts the hell up, but that other 5%, boy…
Delta Airlines is a private company, and is under no obligation to provide service to someone who has been a drunken asshole, disturbing their other customers. It does not matter what was spewing from the drunken asshole’s mouth.
I’M retired from the army"s 160th night stalker , special operations unit out of FT. Campbell ky.
My unit had been on board 2 different helicopters , rotors turning , along with a C130 Gunship , armed , locked and loaded , waiting word from the U.S Secretary of State to engage in a rescue attempt , 40 minutes away in bengaz Libya. We received word from Mrs. Clinton to STAND DOWN and as a result , we lost 4 Americans , includ ing a Congressman because , as we later found out, she didnt want to " stir up " more anti american feelings with and while America ( Obama ) was close to a " deal" with Iran. As it turned out , Iran was the only winner and America lost 4 men due to a womans fear of losing a deal that we or OBAMA knew from the beginning. So i dont care what anybody says or feels about Trump or Clinton , im just glad shes not running America , ESPECIALLY our men and women in uniform who are as we speak , laying their lives out to keep America safe and id like to think safe from weak minded fools like Hillary.
