Can’t we all just get along for a few hours?

    I’m usually the first one to take the airline’s side when a passenger is being disruptive, but not this time. That flight attendant was just on a power trip. Passenger wasn’t being disruptive, they were just annoyed and mildly rude.

      Indeed, when I came across this headline I thought ‘here we go again, another crazy passenger being rude, offensive, and demanding’ and turns out the flight attendant was just a huge asshole who cost a lot of people a lot of money. American Airlines is probably none-too-pleased with him either.

      It’ll be wild to see how this pans out.

        This article is bad and has crappy sources.

        “I didn’t want to cause a scene, so when they asked if I wanted something, I didn’t reply.” Such a stupid thing to say. Of course they’re going to ask again.

        “When asked again, I called them a Waiter”. So much for not causing a scene. This person is not reliable.

        I’ll wait for the video, thank you very much.

        The “apology from the airline and 10,000 miles” was a form letter to every passanger with reimbursement. They didn’t apologize to him. They apologized to everyone for the disrupted flight.

        We also only have his side of the story. I wouldn’t trust any single one of the assholes that are disruptive on planes. They always lie and think they’re in the right.

        I’m not even defending American. I hate that airline. I’m just morally opposed to bad journalism
