Man reportedly kicked off Southwest flight for cracking wise about free vodka
Everyone’s a critic, as the adage goes, and aboard a long-delayed Southwest flight, one man seems to have learned that the hard way. (thetakeout.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
it would be good to have more information to fully understand the situation..from the article,it appears as though the man was joking,and the flight attendant rather than handle his remark graciously with maybe a joking comeback,decided to go full throttle attack mode!of course we all understand the frustration for passengers and crew when there is a lengthy delay,but flight attendants are supposed to be able to handle a lot of situations with ease..its called "grace under pressure",and it did not (per the article) merit a rude,nasty answer nor having the man removed from the airplane..by the way, southwest flight attendants are known for their folksy,friendly attitude,making jokes and telling stories on the pa system, and even dancing down the aisles on the plane..the crew on board are supposed to keep the passengers updated on the delay status,and as a matter of fact,if it goes too long,most airlines take the passengers off the airplane and have them re board later with the same boarding pass for security purposes...
I'll wait for the FULL investigation
There may be more to this. It's illegal for an air carrier to carry a passenger who APPEARS to be intoxicated. Where was the pax during the delay? On the aircraft or in the airport bar?
Be glad you are on a plane, buy your own beverage.
Be glad Roger is not on the plane , for I'm sure he would be lecturing you on all the morals and rules of the world .
scott8733......Me too...…..I just think back to the days of Pacific Southwest (the real PSA)….and as you sort of said...…"What Happened??????????????????" And for the nay-sayers, yes, we do not know everything, but what has happened???????????????????? To go back 45 years, or so...…………………………..
