Abusing Grandma on an Aircraft

[ktulu]

For me? It wouldn't have been lying.

Of course, the fact that I don't mean I'm an airline pilot means nothing in this case, but he doesn't need to know that.

Either you got your private from the FAA or you are now riding the beam, either way, you didn't exactly give us the news my friend :)

Aaaaaargh! ATTACKING a little old lady??????!!!!!!
What a tiny little peni........oooops, I mean, heart! :twisted:

[hobie16]

Heck, maybe I should told him I was a shrink, handed him one of my cards, and offered him a discounted rate for his obvious anger issues. Then I could have winked at him and said, "Anyone who attacks old ladies has some obvious issues with their mommy, eh?" :twisted:

Very good!!!

The pilot thing where I had to land was from before my days at SGT. I don't have any certifications, but I did make it to solo. I've talked with enough pilots who say that makes me a pilot.

Getting in an argument with a moron about the seat is like trying to teach the proverbial pig to sing.

Simply call the flight attendant, before take off, and say that the man is acting very agitated and seems to want an entire row of seats by himself, as he has spread out all his carry on equiptment, and seems to be doing something with all that stuff, and that you are very nervous that he appears to be very anti-social. Point out that when another passenger tried to set in the same row, he MADE her move. And also point out that when you or others look at him, he stares back and seems to be very aggressive.

You must word it right and appear to be very worried. Try and not crack a smile when saying this.

The flight might be slightly delayed while some other personnel help him with his seating and carry ons.

hehehehehe

make you government work for YOU!!

I would also add, "Are you sure he was screened carefully? I could be wrong, but I thought I saw something suspicious in is waistband/briefcase/whatever works." :twisted:

If only he had shown his true colors early on, that would have been such a lovely little episode. :twisted:

Sort of like the woman and kid (older one) who waltzed on a Southwest plane last, just before takeoff on one of Mr. Syndrome's flights, then demanded two seats together. People shuffled around and freed up the back row. Oh no, that wasn't good enough for her and she declared she WOULD NOT sit there and someone else WOULD move and give her a better row. The FA said, "Either sit down right now or you're not flying at all today." The woman refused and they hauled her butt off. The plane was delayed 20 mins. while they found and removed her luggage, but I think I would have been savoring every minute picturing her flipping out in the airport.

The funny thing is, dude yesterday must have sat there and stewed for the whole two hours. Okay, he chased Granny away. Baby got his extra empty seat. It's over and done with. Why attack her at the end of the flight? Probably went home and beat his wife.

Too bad they took her luggage off. Much better picture is her flipping out at the airport and then finding out her luggage went wherever she thought she had been going. I do, however, feel sorry for her kid, who was probably embarrassed as hell.

Probably went home and beat his wife.

I'm going to take a moment and call "Not Funny" here because it's very possibly true.

Yeah- I'm going to even venture a little bit further and say that if he had one, I would more likely say that was probably true :(

So now my hope is that if that is the case and she is being abused, maybe we'll save her if she finds this site after a search for Southwest.
