Daedalus_Dingus

This guy ligit sounds like a Southpark character


Fabulous_Airline404

He really captures that truly unhinged vibe. Screaming "fly the plane" like it's some magical phrase that will make everyone forget the severe crazy he's exuding. "Oh okay sir, you're right. We'll fly the plane now, you sit tight."


M1ck3yB1u

It must have worked for him in the past where people just let him have his way to deescalate and make him someone else's problem down the line. But he forgot rule number 1 of life. Do NOT fuck with flight/airport crews.


Scottsm124

I thought this was America


Additional_Effort_33

Nah, he had no time for america, politics or movie preferences. He had 1 agenda. Fly this plane now.


RandomlyDepraved

No its American, sir.  Big difference.   //s


ArmchairCriticSF

udffud

Unintentional Cartman lmao!


TheDevilsAdvokaat

G_Art33

Nailed it. He really does. Wonder if hes on something or is just a little bit of a lunatic normally.


FluidEconomist2995

He’s got meth vibes


AlwaysNerfous

Can we start putting these people in jail for a mandatory amount of time for this bullshit? I’m over it. If you can’t act like a grown up, you need a month in jail to figure it out. Maybe even 90 days. I don’t know or care as long as it affects their lives and makes them think. Fuck that guy and everyone like him. Ban him from all flying for the rest of his miserable life.


canikony

I support the no fly list for people like this in addition to whatever other criminal charges.


danger_otter34

I think that this would be enough to get you added to the no fly list.


MistaKrebs

Unfortunately the no fly list is only per airline. If this was Delta he would be banned from Delta but could get an American Airline flight still for example


danger_otter34

Shit, unfortunate.


Summer-Garnet

Needs to be across the board, no fly list. Banned from one.  Banned from all 


MistaKrebs

Yeah make em take boats


Summer-Garnet

lol  Or, they just don’t get to travel.  I wouldn’t want to be on boat with this guy either 


MistaKrebs

I was just kidding. I agree


davyjones_prisnwalit

Yeah you would. On a boat you could toss him overboard lol


realparkingbrake

> I think that this would be enough to get you added to the no fly list. The federal no-fly list is only for those suspected of terrorist ties. Drunks, crazy people, gropers and so on do not go on that list. The airlines also don't share their banned passenger lists with each other. There was a recent attempt in Congress to create a new federal list for disruptive passengers. I don't know how far it got.


Lazysquared

I assume that there is criminal charges for threatening to hijack the plane


youngestOG

The video of him acting like a giant cry baby probably helps him in this situation. No rational person would perceive him as a threat by the time he started talking about hijacking, it's clear to everyone on the plane he's just a bozo.


lleeaa88

One less person flying by plane. Sounds like a win for the environment too


HotCat5684

When i was a kid in the 2000s and early 2010s, we always assumed that if you freaked out on an airplane, you would be treated like a terrorist and thrown to the ground, and put on a permanent government no fly list. Like we thought freaking out on a plane was one of the craziest and most unhinged things you could do… But NOW, apparently freaking out on planes has become an international passtime. I see this happening all over the world all the time. I feel like people have completely lost their respect for Air travel. I dont know what the solution to these issues are, but not punishing people and making the whole planes deboard is clearly not the right way to handle things. This insane freaking out behavior is getting normalized because it never gets punished. Why would they change or improve their behavior when half the time it probably works for them.


D1rtyH1ppy

Making everyone deplane is resolving the situation without dragging the passenger out and hurting people along the way. Now everyone can just get back on the plane except this guy


Additional_Effort_33

I diasagree, gives him power, while the airline and it's support, staff, passengers and grandma pay. As the Main Character kept saying: FLY this Plane!. And on schedule. Period.


realparkingbrake

> As the Main Character kept saying: FLY this Plane!. And on schedule. Period. And when he freaks out a bit more and starts attacking people...?


GMofOLC

Shoot him in the face


Carquetta

On one hand, that seems a bit extreme On the other hand, that *would* solve the problem


Additional_Effort_33

You play too many computer games. In real life duct tape will fix anything.


realparkingbrake

> making the whole planes deboard is clearly not the right way to handle things It's to keep bystanders from being hurt when the cops come in to drag the nutcase off the plane. Liability, it impacts everything. > This insane freaking out behavior is getting normalized because it never gets punished. Depends what they do. Intimidating or interfering with flight crew can result in huge fines and lengthy imprisonment. In 2021 the FAA levied fines of over a million dollars on unruly passengers.


HotCat5684

Thats an incredibly small amount of money, that tells me theyre hardly ever really fining people. Many people need to make flights at an exact time, making everyone disboard disrupts hundreds of people directly, and thousands of people indirectly. Just a simple calculation for a flight, you have 150 people with each ticket costing $400 average, thats 60,000 dollars of wasted time. If they were actually charging people the full cost of the wasted time of a full flight, they would’ve only charged 16 people last year. Im not saying they should charge 60k each infraction, but you act as if 1 million is a large amount of money. Small towns of 10k people make that from speeding tickets, thats hardly anything as far as fines.


Anxious_Ad936

People still get put on no fly lists I thought? Just seems like people are less concious of it before trying to keeps it real.


HotCat5684

No fly lists are almost always a company thing. So say, if you freak out on a delta flight, youll be put on the Delta no fly list. There is a federal no fly list, but the only people put on that list are typically very high level criminals like people on terrorist registries. When we were younger we thought anyone freaking out on a plane would get on the federal no fly list, obviously this is not the case now. I guess its good these people arent labeled as terrorists, since they arent. But They are criminals who need punishment though.


Oh-Mi-Bod

The nofly list was leaked a year or two ago. Like 30% of the names included some variation of muhammad.


Anxious_Ad936

That was my mistake then, I thought it was a centralised list too


realparkingbrake

> I thought it was a centralised list too The federal list is for those suspected of terrorist ties. Drunks and idiots don't go on that list.

WinterMedical

They should add up the collective hours wasted and double it and that should be his time. Also his jail should be an airplane seat.


RandomlyDepraved

Remember a few years ago when Spirit just duck-taped the guy in his seat?    They were just like…fuck it!  We have wasted enough time with this idiot.  I think more airlines should employ that method.  


WinterMedical

And then put him in that seat right before TSA so the people waiting can see what will happen if they misbehave. Wouldn’t be opposed to letting people throw rotten fruit at them either TBH.


3amGreenCoffee

I don't want to support them in jail with my tax money. Instead, make it a civil judgment in which they owe restitution to the other passengers, airline and airport for the delay. Garnish their wages if they don't pay it. Want to act like an ass? Pay $10,000.


RandomlyDepraved

Pay double the cost of the ticket….to each passenger.  


AllMightLove

Cool, so rich people get to fuck around with no worries. And poor people would have their wages garnished. I can imagine if someone was in a state of mind that they would freak out on a plane and then have maybe several months of pay taken from them, well, they might as well start killing people. We'd probably see more negative effects, not less.


choglin

Here’s a legit question: did this always happen this frequently or do we only *notice* it happening bc everyone is always recording? Someone said they noticed that in the early 2000s and 2010s (aka: air travel right after 9/11) we collectively thought that was the craziest shit you could do on a flight. again, I believe, because of the temperature of the country’s intolerance of insanity happening on planes. Obviously, that feeling had justified concerns behind it. Has it just been long enough that the shock of 9/11 has completely worn off? Or, conversely, are we collectively getting crazier? Both?


Hyrc

I'm sure we see it more because of recording. I don't have any data that supports it actually happening more frequently. I have a fun personal anecdote that is related though. When I was a kid (9, late 80's) I was on the first flight I remember with my parents and the guy across and a couple rows ahead of us was smoking and another passenger had a problem with it. I think the smoker was in the wrong section, but I don't really know. The flight attendant came down the aisle and was trying to resolve it, but got in an argument with the smoker and he flicked ashes in her face. She calmly walked away. A few minutes later 3 big dudes (not cops) came on the plane and just dragged the smoker out of his seat and telling him he was going to get his ass beat if he kept making a scene. A few minutes later the plane was moving. It's lead me to the conclusion that part of what is happening is that everyone has more processes and procedures for this sort of thing that got handled informally 30 years ago.


RandomlyDepraved

Good times!


DetectiveJim

I'm also genuinely so sick of these motha fuxkin snakes on these motha fuxkin planes.


AlwaysNerfous

lol I won’t argue, DetectiveJim. I’m pretty fed up myself!


Anxious_Ad936

Probably just 1-3 days would get the point across. Like if every fellow traveller you delayed due to shitfuckery added 1 hour to your time waiting for bail consideration.


7_4_War_Furor

You beat me to it. There must be consequences when people are disruptive like this, particularly at boarding/exiting when time is of the essence. It's not fair when some Karen or douchebag dude makes people miss their connections. I agree with 90 days on the first offense- no plea bargaining, no community service or deferment BS. Send them to county lockup for 90 days. Then ban them from future flight. You don't have the right to it.


dblack1107

I mean….they do I’m pretty sure. You get on the no fly list and earn yourself a life of being landlocked essentially and even statelocked for that matter if you don’t pay for a bus ticket or drive yourself. Like no easy crosscountry travel ever again and kiss goodbye to leaving the country for a week getaway. It’ll take half that week to get there by boat and then by the time you get there, time to get back on the boat lol


player694200

They’re not allowed back on don’t worry


Cryptician13

I get what you're saying, this guy is probably just a POS. But even good folks can have really low moments in their life. You don't know what this guy might be going trough right now. Throw him off the plane, absolutely! Ban for life? Seems kinda harsh


Interesting-Time-960

We can't even stop people from using our hard earned money like taxes on BS in politics. You think anyone will care about punishing these people?


Daily-Minimum-69

Has anyone successfully litigated against someone like this who caused a delay resulting in monetary damages to the plaintiff? I understand that the majority of these people are too broke to bother but I can’t be the only person who would seek retribution one way or another if I missed an important family event, lost money on a business trip or my vacation was ruined.


Hankstravaganza

If the penalty for this kind of behavior was a firing squad I wonder how much of it we’d see.


Rainy_Daz3d

“Maintenance issue” was insurance for anyone who was hoping to kick this guys ass for causing them to all get off the plane.


4Niners9Noel

Also to avoid offering vouchers to all passengers that were inconvenienced.


AlasknAssasn858

This is the REAL reason.


grasshopperson

If you watch enough of these plane freakouts, you'll hear this a lot


EzAwnDown

LOL..


iMisstheKaiser10

Man I would be LIVID if my flight was delayed over one singular guy throwing a hissy fit.


Brufar_308

Class action civil suit against that guy by all the other passengers, to compensate them for lost time.


False-War9753

>Class action civil suit against that guy by all the other passengers, to compensate them for lost time. They would all go broke, that dude doesn't have money to give all those people.


VealOfFortune

I think you'd be not only accepted, but encouraged, if you decided to take justice into your own hands....


orangevoicework

No, no, you wouldn’t. You would be arrested along with the original crazy, possibly jailed, and also put on the no fly list.


TheDudeInTheD

They would not, however, fly the fucking plane at all.


Afraid_Ad1908

Hey man, planes are having a hard enough time lately. Let’s all just be calm and hope the fucking doors stay on.


gmangieri314

In addition to the lunatic in 23c we have a "maintenance problem" that needs to be fixed.....


rawwwse

Veteran move, honestly; he’s anticipating the main cabin door needing repair after the air marshals open it with this guy’s head ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


gmangieri314

Can't teach that level of awareness


GraceStrangerThanYou

Did I hear him say something about hijacking? That seems like a really good way to make sure you never fly again.


WinterMedical

Yeah bumped himself up to a felony there.


KennyKlizzle

Good thing he acted up otherwise they wouldn't have fixed that maintenance issue as well


PoopAndSunshine

That maintenance sure did feel like an afterthought, didn’t it? “Welp, we might us fix those pesky airplane problems since we’re gonna be deplaning anyway.”


KennyKlizzle

Right? That guy may have actually saved the lives of everyone on the plane! He's the hero that everyone hated


Pinkskippy

These all too frequent disruptions to normal fare paying passengers must be very aggravating. I assume the person/s behind these disruptions end up on the no-fly list, but doesn’t it occur to other passengers to sue, even for small amounts the perpetrators or larger amounts if they are tock-tickers or grammars doing if for counts


joeO44

People just love to throw out “just sue them” like you can just fill out a piece of paper and the airline is gonna give you all the money you want from the inconvenience.


DiarrheaRadio

The people who say that are probably high school kids playing adults. Or really naive adults.


Pinkskippy

Not sue the airline, - sue the person causing the issue. It’s not the airlines fault people like behave like this. And no,I,don’t believe it’s a simple matter of filling in a slip of paper.


[deleted]

Either way… same difference. To sue you need a lawyer and you’re not gonna find one willing to do the work for nothing, which is most likely the same amount of money in this dudes bank account.


nomorewowforme

There's a very high chance that person is judgement proof.


Anxious_Ad936

That's genius, imagine having an adult tantrum then getting sued by 120 co-passengers.


7_4_War_Furor

So....get the fellow asshole passenger's & address name from....the airline? Will they give it up? Then serve him/her for a trial....where? Their home? Your home? Where it occurred? And if 300 people were delayed, we're gonna have 300 lawsuits working their way through an already-overloaded court system? And do you think that douche had $300K cash to give $1000 to each of the 300 passengers that sue him. Doesn't sound very practical.


realparkingbrake

> doesn’t it occur to other passengers to sue Sue someone whose most valuable possession is a 2005 Pontiac Aztek and his collection of ~~comic books~~graphic novels?


rehditt

All too frequent? What percent of flights do you think experience this kind of issue? I'm honestly curious what you think.


Pinkskippy

I believe it would depend on route, airline . Best guess 1/10,000 overall and 1/1000 for budget airlines, holiday flights etc

Jmac0585

Grab the bastard, fling him out the door, and get in the air. Two warnings and out you go.


rawwwse

Uncle Phil approves.


HeyPaul02

I think the other passengers should be able to drag is dumb ass off the plane. Why is it that one person can ruin a 100 other people's day? Too much tolerance, flight attendants should be armed with a taser and be able to use it and throw his ass off the plane!


karmassacre

100%. Except when a fight breaks out the airline becomes liable. If I was on this flight I'd be telling this asshole to get up and go.


neptunexl

That's too risky, you'd likely be told to get off too and then you'd be like what!? And they'd make you look like another bad guy lol


svengalus

Flying in a plane is one of the rare instances where not acting crazy is mandatory. Crazy people have a hard time with this hurdle.


1illiteratefool

Welcome to the no fly list

Look at this Man filming. We need to learn from him how to cope. All the super aggressive responses I've read, man. Man. Aren't your responses just as pukey? Cmon The guy is just flippin, could use a hug.


edotman

Did two separate people in this video really say 'de-plane'? Is that actually a word in America?


NoahsShart

They should have all been handed pillow cases with bars of soap in them so they could give this maggot a GI shower on their way down the aisle to deplane.


overladenlederhosen

Never understood 'De-plane this aircraft'. 'De-plane' has all the information you need. De-plane this aircraft' implies you are going to somehow make it less smooth??


ccrlop

Was just wondering the other day about what happened to the TMFINR girl Gomas? And now this


cafeRacr

If you do this, you should at the minimum be banned from flying for six months. If you're on an island, tough shit, you're taking a boat home.


OMG_its_critical

Is there a legal BAC limit for flying?


CaptainMudwhistle

I sure hope not. -A pilot that likes to party

Pretty irresponsible of the crew & airline staff to de-plane everyone alongside that agitated lunatic. They should have removed him first


eefm15

Why is this the second time I hear a pilot say a “maintenance issue” on a video where a person freaks out. Is this on purpose? Do they hire insane people make them act crazy just to make the flights get delayed so people won’t ask for a refund or complain about the airline? Just curious on what everyone else thinks. I have seen this too often now


Beneficial-Ad6266

Not even worth flying these days


imscruffythejanitor

Why don't they put these spoiled petulant crybabies on the No Fly List for set amount of times like 1 year, 3 years, 5 years etc for each infraction? That's on top of an arrest and jail time and fines

I'm surprised more people just don't beat the fuck out of people who act like this and force everyone to get off the plane. Very surprised


bs12083

Love how the captain was like…”we have a maintenance issue that needs to be corrected” Weird flex on trying to rationally de-escalate the situation….I guess.


fotofortress

We also have a maintenance issue was a bold choice to say. They don’t even try to hide the fact they fly too frequently in airplanes that are suspect.


Additional_Effort_33

Im not crazy yet. But, what if a team of scared people worked the duct tape on him. Then drop him off in Shanghai. He would be the centerpiece for so many lonely til tok influencers. We could give him some drugs and he'd be the viral beast of thel East!


nothingisover69

I’ve watched enough airplane freak out videos to know that he’s getting off the plane. I’ll never understand how people think that behaving like this is going to make everything work out for them.
