Hey! Not fair! I'm an asshole, but that doesn't make me a Trump supporter. I have standards, goddammit!!
HolyHellJezebel
If the staff do not feel safe then they must do an emergency landing. He's at least offering them the chance to behave.
GrumpyOldMillennial
If they cannot maintain control of the passengers, then absolutely must make an emergency landing to remove them, whatever the reason.
Rabidbacon
Well, pilots nowadays feel uneasy about terrorists on their planes.

"Isn't this American Airlines?" Like if the name of the airline makes a difference in your behavior.

Exactly. United and Southwestern will do the exact same thing. "Shut the fuck up. Or walk."

The passengers in first class want to separate from this nation. They have voted for FREXIT. Their bathroom is REALLY off limits.

I agree, but have you been to a football match in Europe? Chants are kind of a normal thing there.

I am not European nor American, but there is always time and a place. Chanting in an airplane is not appropriate.

just a tiny bit different to scream your teams name at a game compared to shouting your countrys name in a god damn airplane.

I indeed have never seen sweaty men running after a ball in any stadium. Well except a rugby match in Australia, not entirely by choice tho.

As an American, it's my understanding that no one chants like Europeans. We don't even have soccer stadiums!

Nah pal. We sing mostly. But the whole "U. S. A! U. S. A!" style chanting is not often used. We also don't clap at the end of films. Why?!?
koflan
But of all things you could pick... Clapping after a movie is that offensive to you?
reverendmalerik
Why would you clap after a fuckin movie?! There's no-one to hear it! The actors aren't there! Who are you clapping? The projectionist?

I've never heard either one, personal, but as an American you're always lumped in with whoever people find most contemptible.

There were stories of drunks getting hogtied and federal charges for less. Why tf are authorities handling these assholes with kid gloves?

Airlines are heavily subsidized with taxes, per Congress. The same Congress that's totally on the fence about who the "bad guys" really are.
RumpBuffalo
WHITE.

To be fair, the drunks hogtied and charged were for the most part white as well.
battlepants
Better to deescalate things when possible. Would have to be handled on a case by case basis though.
CannabalisticSpaceRapArtist
Quantity of the problem, that measure works extremely well for isolated incidents..
BreastInspector
The same reason most of the authorities removed Congress and cocooned at first - instead of fighting the terrorists - then waited on help.

The fact that he's not speaking in "pilot voice" means he's basically ready to murder the entire plane with his bare hands.
thisiscatman
One of thefew times that could easily be done too.
Cha0sForever
Why land early. Just depressurise the cabin mid flight and that while shut them up.
sliderCDN
It'll blow all the oxygen masks and cause thousands of dollars of down time, delays, maintenance and parts for the airline because of rowdy.

Idiots..they're not worth of that satisfaction.
Cha0sForever
But it would shut them up
theshinobi23
It's the airline's plane, and that means you better not fuck with the attendants, either, or you'll find out.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Don’t fuck with the attendants because of federal law, not the ownership of the plane.
theshinobi23
That would apply as don't fuck with anyone on a plane, because of federal law, wouldn't it?
EmanonInverse
Would there be in Air Marshall on that flight, or would they were worried about one being outnumbered and harm being caused?
gondolph
The air marshal may be Q, or Proud boy, or maggot
EmanonInverse
Yeah, that is another worry. Fight Club springs heavily to mind. And Hydra. I'm tired and scared of it all and I don't even live there.
JackieTreehornProductions
He has a gun, nobody else does. After 9/11 they don’t let any group take over control of the aircraft - MAGA or not. Think about it, what /1
JackieTreehornProductions
2/ if the crowd decides there’s an elected official onboard, and it’s time to spill blood mid flight? Can’t lose control. Mob mentality...
EmanonInverse
Yeh, that was my fear in this situation. I'm just wondering what kind of protection the pilots and poor air hostesses/hosts have.
JackieTreehornProductions
3/ And at that point I’d be considering the flight hijacked by terrorists and treat it as such. That’s not all unlikely given this past week
AvitusNox
Air Marshall’s do not fly on every flight, they have a information network and try to use their limited personnel wisely.
EmanonInverse
Aye, but I'd assume that in this current political climate change, would they prioritize flights with THAT kinda person, or other info.
Golgothanworm
You'd think they'd have adequate security at the Capitol too, but these are White people.
Silnt39
Yah he's actually required by law to do what it takes to keep the passengers and the plane safe
pbutler890
Is it similar to a ship where the captain holds all authority to arrest and subdue any threat?
Silnt39
Well his authority extends to getting the plane on the ground so police can deal with threats. He's not supposed to risk his life 》
Silnt39
At the expense of the plane.
