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...
Jeez, this article made me feel old.
I remember the days when Herb let them hand out the booze for free. Every flight. Every day.

More idiots flying today with more regulation in place to protect todays public.
"They should be passing out vodka because we’ve been waiting so long," said the passenger.
"I know how you feel," replied the experienced flight attendant. "We can't do the vodka but it sure has been a long wait."

Where was that quote at in the article, because that wasn't her response. Or are you just saying that's how she should have replied?
The attendant answered correctly.
