As a pilot and employee of any airline he would be flying as a non-revenue passenger and as a courtesy a non-revenue pilot checks in with the pilots flying as they board. The flight attendants would know this also based on his ticket indicating a non-revenue passenger.
I'm black and the only class I've ever traveled has been first class. If someone looks at you and tries to assume something about you that is negative. Most likely you are there better.
Or perhaps racism is good for clicks. The story is pure B.S. The author of this fiction knows nothing about airline operations. Or perhaps he wrote this 60 years ago.
@@BlackwaterBud The point is not if the story is true or not, nor is it about the writer's knowledge about the airline industry. This is about the discrimination in our every day life and the importance of acknowledging it and doing something about it.
Excellent write up. Very emotional and heart moving. I have also reflected and agree that I too have misconceptions on race that I need to confront. Thank you
That airliner lady should’ve been fired. She had no right to decide who sits in first class and who don’t the money is not coming out of her pocket if we can afford to have it we are entitled to get it.
For the person that said this is BS, they are missing the point sure it was fiction but people are that way today if you just open your heart instead of your eyes 👀
This story is a good start for all Americans to understand the challenge some of us still experience to this day. The color of your skin still matters, your race still matters, your birth place still matters. Working for the airlines for over twenty five years, you can find a very challenging situation almost daily. It creates a very unsafe work place. Standard company policies and procedures , federal laws and guide lines, and even union membership laws do not even address the problem at hand. To foster and apply all the necessary measures to protect all of us in time of injustice that any member experience is just to follow the law and implement a true concept of valuing each individual as an asset in our pursue of the ever challenging American Dream. That is my opinion as a brown skin man of fifty five years of being a proud American naturalized citizen.
I wonder what would have happened if Marcus had been a normal passenger, not a captain. It seems that Sarah was soon put in her place, having a low status job. Class is always a factor. Marcus always knew that people's attitude would change when he put on his uniform.
If it is real, I applaud Captain Johnson for the way he handled the situation, but if it was created as a teaching tool to deal with our engrained bias, I hope that we can include that training in all of our business at least once a year.
and if it is not true, i am sure that there are situations like this, that do actually happen, and it is a real shame, in my opinion and with out prejudice
i have listened to many stories, and it always amazes me how well the people handle the situation. im not sure that i would have been so graceful. my hat off to captain marcus johnson
sorry, I certainly respect the idea behind this story, but it is crap. never mind the fact Marcus was an airline pilot, HE IS A BLACK MAN. what would have happened if he was not a pilot, just a regular black man?
This story is truly impactful and makes us reflect on the prejudices that still exist in society. A pilot being asked to sit in economy class just because of his skin color is a clear example of the unfair treatment many people still face. What happened next surely left a memorable lesson for everyone present and for those watching this story. Hopefully, this video will inspire us all to judge people based on their abilities and character, not their appearance.
It is really touching but a valuable lesson to all of us. What I learnt is that all involved were ready to reconcile, and mediate. We learn through our mistakes if we are ready to accept our mistakes and overcome them.
Get so sick of this cynical and sick behavior. Immediately a person ‘s color determines if they can afford first class seating. The same currency you use to fund your lifestyle so do we!!!!!!
Anyone familiar with airline procedures would know a pilot flying non-rev isn’t just another passenger! This situation just shows the assumptions people make. Respect to him for staying composed.
I have been on a few thousand flights mostly in first class and I've never seen a flight attendant move someone from first class to coach, except when a coach passenger tried move into first class on her own, and she was asked to move into her correct seat in coach
I loved all you experienced and self assured patrons I know you know every situation …. I know things myself I am sick and tired f all you self empowered authorities commenting You Ken’s and Karen’s dismiss things that never happen to you Stop commenting on things outside your life experience. You sound ignorant … “better to be thought of as a fool then open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”. Now shut up and learn how others lives differ from yours
Beautiful story. Yes it is based on events but in truth. We are all human and molded by our life's experience, good and bad. We need to see a person's heart and not the appearance. ❤ when hearts recognize there is unity. I have been in places no white person, yet alone a woman would go. Though a Christian a sister in a Moslem world. Your actions make a difference. Giving people time to think and change. Just a tiny seed to think and change will make your heart soar and world unite.
Complete BS story. None of it is how seat assignments work and flight attendants don’t move passengers around. A flight attendant would also not ask to see a first class passengers boarding pass as she would have a boarding report with each passengers name, seat assignment and travel priority. The FA would have instantly known he was deadheading crew member. If there was in fact an overbooking which is not done in first class deadheading crew members are the first to be moved. The entire story is so fictitious as to be laughable.
I agree. Story is moving, but too "perfect". The first thing that made me doubt the story was that "Captain Marcus" had not been a part of the preflight briefing and secondly, I'm pretty sure that "Captain Chen" did not have the authority to reassign himself in this situation. He was the assigned Captain and that could not be changed on a whim. Further, (I don't remember the departure point, but) a simple cross country flight to Los Angeles does not require a relief pilot. This story is BS. Not even a nice try. I agree with the sentiments but the story doesn't ring true. I'm calling bull shit and I'm giving the video a thumbs down. Patrick Cowdrey, Central Point, Oregon.
More BS emerged as the video continued. The narrator says that "some students in the back of the plane heard the initial conversation". That's absolute BS. You could never hear a conversation that far away in that acoustic environment even without the ambient sounds of other people's conversations. From first class, all the way to the back of the cabin? More bull. I agree- the kind of discrimination spoken of here should never take place. Neither should bullshit stories. Like this. This is a political video. Patrick Cowdrey, Central Point, Oregon
This is another submission by a group called Bold Voices. It is fictitious. It is a story. It is not a true event.

Watching from the 🇬🇧 Sarah's not on her own in behaving the way the way she did. But it's example for us to use every negativity and turn it into pisitivity without getting angry 😊

This is another one of those videos - that is not really a video - where they take 40 minutes to tell a three minute story. They make up the story and waste your time. Definitely thumbs down.
YAWN 🥱 its almost 2025, these racism stories are exhausting to the point of nauseating!!! If I'm holding a paid for first class ticket thats assigned my name, I AM NOT MOVING to any economy nor any other seat more so if it's to accomodate to pale skinned privileged passenger! I WILL NO MOVE!!!
This is second version of this story. In one the sitting captain passenger is named as Ethan and the hostess as Emily? Here the names are different? why are you all confusing viewers, by giving out false names and false pictures? This is absurd and improper.
Wow, what a story. The lady who created this fictitious story to humiliate Capitain Mark Johnson, is knocked down herself; unforgettable self-inflicted infront of the staff members and passengers. I have heard stories similar to this. But the way how she started the whole thing is so moronic and the way how Capitain M. Johnson and others dealt was superb. The Capitain is genuinely a noble man with character. The lady is a disgraceful may be she got fired. The act of the passengers and what they did is truly an act of dignity with respect give them credit.
❤nice i love the story. All white people is not bad. Because i fly on a airline i was so cold i had to coat etc. And a white lady take off her coat and lent me i thank her because i was so dame cold God is good.i black person ever one is not the same.❤
Have never traveled first class. Closest is bulkhead for long legs. I WOULD NOT THINK ANYTHING EXCEPT PROUD THEY CAN AFFORD IT. I don’t tolerate idiotic racism. Have lived reverse. NO TOLERANCE. Also prejudice for my religion. PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT. WAS RAISED BY FATHER WHO BECAME LEGEND FOR HIS ACTIONS AROUND DIVERSITY
That isn't a button-down collar, and that jacket and shirt are hardly accessories to jeans! How come he was able to settle in the Captain's seat - was there no Captain aboard before he arrived?!
All of these stories are fictional ones that are supposed to have a moral. People, even if they know its fictional, like or dislike them based on how they fill about the moral.
The story reflects the issue of race in USA anything is possible in this country. Like the lady in this story; I thought naturally is a racist but she failed miserably and exposed herself - self-inflicted lady.
@rudyjakma3664 I would have thought that a retired airline captain, you would have recognized this "rubbish" as fiction by young writers trying to show racism in their own way.
@pentispy you have a good point but I have flown with black first officers who later were upgraded to captain Here is Europe I am satisfied that they were treated with all the respect according to their rank. And cabin crew know the identity of other positioning crew members. More so a captain can never just yield his position to a colleague at the point of departure. Only in case of a serious incident like incapacitation. I don't want to expand further on this platform
We did not choose the colour of our skin, why judge by the colour of ones skin, when is this going to STOP. We are all creation of the almighty, be it black, green or yellow. Dont judge.
Give yourself a pet on the back if you could early guess the conclusion. Extra bonus if you knew Marcus and Sarah got married and flew together every since
He couldn’t have taken over the plane at this stage, the captain role starts a long time before they enter the plane. There’s a lot of briefing and planning. So this is pure fantasy.
Reshuffle of seats sometimes happens when many seats on the aircraft are vacant,and the aircraft is not balanced,i witnessed that when I was flying from Tanzania to Zambia,it seems the seat numbers ended in the middle of the plane and we were asked that some of passengers to move to the back of plane to balance up the plane.

No! Someone creating fiction with ai

Right. This as enlightening as it could have been, is completely not factual nor could it have happened.
It does not say nonrev. It very clearly said "relief captain" which of course in reality is not reqd on transcon flts. Total b. S. CLICKBAIT😢
@@johnjoseph3667 Amen😎😎😎😎
Another non sensical work of fiction for likes.
not only the ticket but also the passenger manifest would indicate such details.

Yes there are first and second class who will live the longest ?

@@MauriceMorton-b9y, wouldn't it be "their better."
Noting your answer there is prejudice still on both sides
I will not travel by plane but if I did it would be first class
The writing is great. The message at the end. I’m keeping to use as examples when I do training.
Wow, this is unbelievable! It’s astounding how much bias still exists in the aviation industry. I’m so glad the pilot stood his ground! 🙌🏾✈

The crew would know if there's a collegue on board, especially from cockpit.
I’m Black and always fly first class. If someone judges you negatively, it’s probably because you’re ahead of them.
Truth is there's a serious racial discrimination in all spheres in America.
Excellent write up. Very emotional and heart moving. I have also reflected and agree that I too have misconceptions on race that I need to confront. Thank you
Great story, beautifully narrated.
100 years ago today!!!! This happened.. don't forget the tusegee.. pilots 50 years ago.
Great example with a story we need to hear more. Forgive our bad behavior.

Sometimes situations like this happens in real life
sometimes? you mean sometimes it's drawn to your attention. For some people this is constant.
That Sarah did not just happen to be racist on that day she was racist all along, otherwise what happened to Marcus would never had happened.
Watching from Jamaica. 🇯🇲
The story writer is afraid to explicitly use the words race or color about the discrimination. They mostly only use the word "appearance."
What a story with multifaceted lessons.Thanks for sharing .
