My husband who had just returned from deployment in Afghanistan and I decided to take a trip to the UK ( we live in Australia) so he could de-stress and unwind on holiday. My husband is 6’4” tall so we paid extra to sit in the emergency exit seats, with a bit more leg room. On the second part of the journey, Dubai to London, a male passenger near us who was obviously drunk and obnoxious began arguing then shouting about his seating allocation, then he became aggressive. He climbed over his seat and the other passengers to reach the aisle, then he really went off. He brought his drink and sat in the flight attendants fold down seat. To cut a long story short he started abusing us, the cabin crew were helpless, and it culminated in the passenger accidentally-on-purpose staggering sideways and hitting my husband on the head and shoulder, as we sat trying to ignore the abuse. My point is - do the airlines HAVE to serve alcohol, they don’t allow smoking, so why serve free alcohol ? Take the cost saved off the exhorbitant ticket prices on long-haul flights. Nobody wants to be forty thousand feet in the air, trapped in a metal tube with an aggressive drunken passenger.
The gate agent can refuse to board a passenger they believe to be under the influence. Also, the flight attendants can refuse to serve a passenger if they believe the passenger is under the influence.
I’m 60 years old, have flown 2 and 3 times yearly from the UK to various countries around the world, but have never yet experienced a rowdy flight. Everyone, so far, has always been very courteous.
Today, corporations do what THEY want, when they want it and how they want it ... and as long as the People continue to LET them and not only that to pay them MORE than EVER before ... WE are doomed. Rise up! SAY NO! BOYCOTT!
We had a guy wake up on a flight and freak out and start lashing out, like the guy at the beginning and end of this video. He was in his late 50's. His wife was with him and it was alzheimers. When someone flips out like that, consider it might actually be a medical situation. He woke up confused, held down (seatbelt) involuntarily in a small space and failed to interpret the situation reasonably. Back in the day, seats were more like armchairs and it was a luxury situation. I think conditions have deteriorated so much that it doesn't feel like a luxury to fly on any level, but a punishment. If I have the option to get around without flying, I do. But when I need to cross oceans, there just isn't another option. I hate flying. Really hate it. But I have responsibilities that require it. Half the planes, I can't close my legs, the curve of the seat in front of me is so close to my knees. I don't always have enough airmiles to upgrade to first class when I do fly. Probably because I avoid flying because even if I go business class or first class, I still hate flying. Even ignoring how we've been packed into spaces that not all of us fit because we're either tall, fat or muscular, it's still boring with long waits, lack of personal space. I hate flying so much.
@@runningfromabear8354 I hate flying, too. I've been on too many flights ✈️ 😩 😫 My husband was in the Airforce for almost 25 years, so we flew constantly ...oh, and my heart goes out to anyone with medical issues flying. I don't have medical issues, I just really hate to fly!
As a medically educated person and having personally experienced this phenomena I believe that too often oxygen levels in the aircraft are too low and precipitate a panic mode for the passengers perhaps the most acceptable passengers first but eventually everyone!!!
We didn't have any kind of what you call 'Electric Pacifiers' on planes or anywhere else in the 1970's but I don't remember this kind of behaviour; However, the planes were much more comfortable and roomier.
Europa H2O Alien.... It is this way because the flying public demands cheap tickets. Maybe we should bring back government regulation in the airline industry. Ticket prices will go way up and weed out the savages.

I have worked as a pilot in this industry for just about 20 years and honestly a lot of the time the cabin crew could easily defuse a situation, but instead flex their authority over the passengers just because they can. Perfect example is the little girl that had to pee...how easily that could've been resolved. That's not to say that passengers don't make cabin crews life's difficult either because it's definitely not an easy job to deal with upwards to 300 people being very demanding and needy and not to mention rude. Just saying from my experience I've definitely seen cabin crew sometimes add to the situation opposed to helping.
the crew who denied the child access to the washroom should have their asses fired ASAP. Im always as polite as can be, the attendants will always have problems no need to add to it. Washroom use should only be denied when taking off and landing.
Might help if your bosses didn't try to cram as many humans as possible into the cattle cars called planes. They even REMOVED two inches of leg room just last year! It's outrageous. But until people STOP flying, and force their hands .... we're all doomed to their tactics.
Some people just can't handle power. Go back to the days when stewardesses (yes, stewardesses) who were polite, well-groomed and made the flight a pleasant one.
I can remember back in the early 70’s , taking an airplane flight anywhere was a big deal !! People were always dressed up beautifully ! It was always a beautiful cxcursion! Very rich like .
Flying sucks nowadays..not sure people truly understand the way it was... Thru the 90s, most flights were not full. You could easily utilize extra seats sometimes whole rows were vacant. Planes and seats were bigger and wider making any flight more comfy. They served you a hot meal free. They checked bags free. They did a better job because there were not nearly as many passengers. That’s really what it hinges on.... Nowadays, there are algorithms in place whereby there literally is never an empty seat, EVER. I haven’t been on a flight in the past 9 years that did not begin with that all too familiar announcement “please take your seats as we have a COMPLETELY full flight today”. I mean it just sucks. No one wants to be crammed into a packed flight for 5 hours... But that’s all there is nowadays... Of course the airlines could GIVE A SHIT LESS... They all make more money, and they NICKEL AND DIME all of us... and for what?!? The service is nonexistent. If you plan to fly anywhere I’d advise Vicodin and JD to take the edge off, and a lot of meditation beforehand.... There is no such thing as a pleasant flight anymore, and it absolutely sucks
I agree with your comment but may I also add, what about the completely crazy outfits you see on airlines now? My parents worked for United at one point, we got free passes to fly and we required to dress up, but everyone else back then (70's & 80's) dressed up also. Now you go flying and men are in bathing suits and women in bras.
@@JoeyKincaid-u9m unless we're on different wave lengths, I thought we were just going to name a place that's famous for meltdowns lol., American Airlines is just another place to throw a tantrum.
Sure there is. Simply stop flying. take the train. rent a car. If the airlines start finding themselves with a whole lotta empty planes, they'll sit up and take notice.
@Eddie Simongkhonh Depends on the "pitch" of the seat and how much of ones body is legs versus torso. Nothing to do with weight. I am almost 6'4", and there are many airplanes with seats where my knees press hard into the back of the seat in front of me. That forces me to bend them under my seat, stick a leg in the aisle, and/or twist my legs so they go under the seat in front of me. I try whenever possible to avoid certain airlines and/or airplanes when the "pitch" is not enough. The person could weigh 160 pounds or 260 pounds. His or her legs would be the same length regardless.
@Cher L. Depends on how long his torso is compared to his legs. Some tall people have longer legs. Others have shorter legs but longer torsos. It also depends on the airline and plane used. The "pitch" used varies. Some planes have REALLY small pitches, and no one that tall could sit straight with his legs in the seating position without having them bang against the seat back. Again, weight is not the issue. It's how long his legs are.
@Eddie Simongkhonh No, the weight is not the issue so much (though your son is pretty skinny which might help a bit). I know guys far taller than me who can sit OK (sort of) in smallish cars and SUVs, but I cannot without my shins or knees hitting the dashboard. Some of them weigh the same or more than me. I'm almost 6'4" and 240. Some tall guys have taller torsos than others even at the same height overall. For instance, 2 guys 6'3" could have different inseams - one at 36" while the other is 34". Also, you need to know what the "pitch" is of the seat your son sat in. I guarantee you that there are planes where he could not sit up straight without having to cross his legs or bend them under the seat. It also depends on the thickness of the seat back in front of you. Different airlines and plane configurations use seats with as little as 29 inches and as much as 32 or so inches in economy class. I cannot sit in a seat with less than 31" of pitch without my knees pressing into the seat back in front of me. I've been on lots of planes in 40 years, and it can vary wildly.
yeah but rarely are their noses sniffing for alcohol or keeping watch for drunken staggering and listening for slurred speech. and its not always drunks, there are also nutjobs finding their way onboard and there's also people who think they can do whatever they want and not follow the rules when it pertains to cellphones or loud chatter
derek wall I agree Have you ever hear the AOL messenger ring when you have message when they are on instant messenger, If your on a 6 hr flight and you have one of these arrogant people that wont put it on vibrate, it will after about a half hour drive you nuts and most people think that they can do with they want and they answer you like this, I payed enough for this ticket dont tell me what to do, just deal with it if you dont like it find another seat. almost got to me one day lucky i did not open the door when the plane landed and said did you enjoy your flight Here let me help you get off and throw the piece of shit on the tarmac.
Commercial planes typically cruise at altitudes between 36,000 and 40,000 feet. Most airliners are not allowed to fly higher than 45,000 feet. The highest altitude recorded for a commercial flight was set by the Concord, which ascended to 60,000 feet. 6:06
Since alcohol isn't involved in many of these events, how do you expect this solve anything? Also, there is nothing preventing the people from getting wasted in the airport bar, or even before they get to the airport. I was on a flight that had no alcohol served on board and halfway through some schmuck decided to start screaming at everybody. How does banning alcohol stop that?
I've been binge watching passengers acting crazy on airlines lately and while I don't condone flight attendants becoming unprofessional I gotta say, I kind of understand why at some point one of them losing their sh*t.
I was stuck taking a bus from Stockton cali to KC ks, it took 3 days. By the end of the trip a group of us became a pack...we slept in a heap, we shared what we had with each other. We looked out for each other's stuff. We started out as strangers and bonded over misery and crowded conditions. It was amazing. Not all experiences are all good or all bad...it is whatever u make of it.
You should see the “Water Rage” on the lake by my house during the warm seasons. Boaters, jet skiers, fishermen, kayakers, knocking each other over in their wakes, fighting over fishing or anchoring spots, boat launch ramp fights, the sheriffs on both sides of the lake have to keep the peace.
Lol boomers are the masters of entitled rage.I worked in customer service for years and the older generations were way more likely to freak out.The only person I ever had to have removed was an old woman who was enraged I wouldn't let her use a new account until she paid off the old one. She was mad she got caught trying to scam is lol,went ballistic
Anyone who causes a disruption on a plane especially if the plane had to divert needs to be put on the no fly list for 10 years and be made to pay compensation to anyone they cause to miss connecting flight and to the airlines. A lot of this will stop if that ever happens.
Lincoln Paul These incidents happen all over the world with no higher frequency in the US. Ignorance also appears to be prevalent all over the world too as your comment indicates...
I have never, ever heard an upset person say, "I am so distraught!" when they really are very upset! 😂 Usually by the time people are that unhappy their vocabulary has shrunk to the point they wouldn't even think of using the word distraught... then again, I don't think I've ever heard anyone else refer to _themselves_ as distraught, only other people. 🤔
I know there are crazy people but why are the flight attendants so bad at responding to real need as the three year old peeing all over herself and no one helped but in fact wanted her off. Flight attendants our equally as bad at dealing with the small and trivial helping them escalate out of hand. There are bad apples every where so attendants are some of those apples.
Any disruptive passengers names and addresses should be issued to each passenger on board being inconvenienced, so that that person will never do it again after being bombarded with people who now loathe you.
Less legroom? More like larger waist size. It literally costs more money to ship all that lard, and you want the airline to reduce the number of passengers per flight but lower the ticket cost? LOL typical American!
This situation NEEDS addressing and given SERIOUS thought! The 'safety instructions' are IRRELEVANT and need to be totally reviewed! Passenger SAFETY and COMFORT is of NO concern to struggling airlines these days
@@particles2011EXCEPT ... they are NOT struggling. You ever been to their investors groups to hear how much they are making? I have. Its pure GREED, and to the airlines, a few incidents of like these shown, do NOTHING to stop the flow of money. NOTHING.
"I have to pee" "Sit in your damn seat and shut up" "But I'll go in my pants!" "Not my problem fool" "I am peeing now fouling your seat" "OK here is a paper towel. Try and clean it up a bit" "Thanks, flying has become so pleasant these days" "We appreciate your business Sir"
I remembered a few years back going from LA to Washington D.C. on a JetBlue flight the seats were so crammed together and it was a packed flight it felt like I was in a sardine can. I could hardly move my legs as they're pushed up against the front seat. Good thing I was exhausted so I took a nap throughout the flight otherwise I might have gone insane. I hated being cramped up like that.
I won't fly anymore unless I can come up with the money for a first class ticket. In the old days, I was so comfortable on flight! We're not livestock, and I wish the airline clowns on top would remember that.
I fly overseas every month. I have seen fight, people thrown off airplanes, and medical emergencies. I have seen other things such as sitting next to John Travolta going from LAX to Brisbane. I also sat next to Kenny Chestney although I had no idea who he was at the time. Him and I talked for a few hours on the flight from Atlanta to Switzerland. People were just laughing at me talking to this guy knowing who he was. I have also sat next to famous lawyers, banker, Hadley fund managers, authors, and more. I once took a flight from Paris to the Ivory Coast only to be taken hostage for a brief time until Air France paid out money. I then flew on to Legos. The scariest thing that ever happened was flying from Las Vegas to Atlanta. The flight crew (pilot) flew us into a thunderstorm. We ended up rolling the aircraft while in a step dive. We had the altitude to recover but several vomit bags were used.
I feel for the lady with the 3YO daughter towards the end. I had a similar situation with my baby on Continental airlines. My baby had a stinky diaper just after they started bringing meals to people. They were close to the bathrooms, but just had to scoot back a little to let me in. I started to stand up to take my baby to change her diaper, and they would NOT let me do that until they were DONE serving the meal. I told them no one is going to want to EAT until after my baby was changed, but they didn't give a crap. I have not flown Continental since then.
Well……..I hate to say this now, but flying used to a pleasant experience back in the 50s-80s,…but not anymore. Ever since 9/11, more people get angry, and get into more violence and they kept on getting conflicts. The united states has become more dangerous to live now. I…I..I Just don’t know what to say….I want to go back in time.
That's because only the affluent could afford to fly then. Today, even the lowest trailer trash can afford to fly. People used to dress up when flying and were always on the best behaviour.
The “ranting pilot” was reportedly undergoing diabetic Ketoacidosis, irrational behavior is common in this circumstance. Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can mimic intoxication. Not seen on this video was the captain repeatedly pleading that he was incredibly thirsty, another sign of the condition. These situations normally arise only in people with type-1 diabetes, so the captains medical rating as a commercial pilot should be called into question.
wow. If someone woke up out of a dead sleep like that on a rampage, you have to know it's something he can't help. The spring break party....ugh. I blame the airline for not restricting the alcohol.
Have a sign in airport which states that is ok to partake in the bar but potential passengers may be breathylised prior to boarding and if over the limit denied access without refund .
To: Larry Sizemore: Money makes people want to stoop back into the hip-cool culture so they can still relate to the everyday guy; In essence: stoop down to being a *commoner,* and not wanted to elevate his dignity. Frugal and penurious people can be dignified also.
That’s not the point. People have children of all ages on a plane with whatever they are allowed on a plane. I had to throw away baby wipes away going through security because of chemicals... try it sometime you’ll see for yourself and understand what this mother went through.
I carried a bag usually bigger than my daughter. Completely stocked with stuff for any situation, clothes, diapers, food , toys, art supplies, you name it I had it. Unprepared mom, next time bring the nanny
Wow. They didn't let the kid go to the bathroom and you blame the mother? They had no reason not to let her go the bathroom. You also don't know the whole story. If they are waiting that long, how many times has she gone? Is her diaper full? You think she is going to strip down her 2 year old on her lap? Your fat ass might have that much space, but this woman clearly was not a heifer. You also don't get allowed to get up and access your bags if they aren't letting you get up to pee.
If drunkenness is to blame for these STUPID outrages then why do airports have bars & sell alcohol? Why don't they see their common sense ( use their BRAIN'S) & CLOSE THEM DOWN! PERMANENTLY!!! But, if a passenger is disruptive by other means ( none alcoholic related) then why isn't it that the passenger has been given a FULL!!! history check ( i.e mental health ) the moment they are trying to book a flight ( as long as that person isn't going a to fly within a few hours bit of a problem but, not necessarily impossible! ) to see if they are allowed to fly. O.K this proberbly would cost the likes of the flight companies millions a year. But, isn't it safe than to be sorry!
Increased comfort would help. If ONE or TWO ROWS of seats were removed from each aircraft, and the seats rearranged for maximum leg-space, problems would be reduced.

Let's all take a moment and thank these wonderful flight attendants for restraining unruly passengers! I feel as if they never get enough credit!
They should be allowed to carry brass knuckles to deal with the drunks who are always freaking out because they can't get enough alcohol!
"I'm not Happy!"
"Okay, which dwarf are you, then?"

Stop selling booze and increase space. Airlines won't do that because profit trumps safety every time.
Basically...
Of course. Why not stop selling cigarettes? Money.
The gate agent can refuse to board a passenger they believe to be under the influence. Also, the flight attendants can refuse to serve a passenger if they believe the passenger is under the influence.
@@Bucentaure44 Then stop selling booze. Problem solved.
jerry wells you can bring alcohol on flights anyways so if someone wants to drink they will

@Triple Parakeet-Shoes Of course there were only 3 people on board! Who, in their right mind, goes to Toronto in December?❄⛄
Corporate greed put the brakes to that!
That is the reason many get drunk before they go on a flight...
I agree with your comment but may I also add, what about the completely crazy outfits you see on airlines now? My parents worked for United at one point, we got free passes to fly and we required to dress up, but everyone else back then (70's & 80's) dressed up also. Now you go flying and men are in bathing suits and women in bras.
ABSOLUTELY! Airlines should take NOTE of these comments and LEARN something
It's amazing how exponentially this issue has grown in the ten years since this was uploaded.
Can you imagine all the other places these people freak out at. This isn't just a one time meltdown...

From now on, all passengers will be issued a Zanax with their boarding pass.
Jee Que - I hate flying, so I wldnt turn it down. I wonder if this crap was a prevalent before they banned smoking on a plane.
Jee Que - Xanax
now thats an idea😁
NO. Issue each passenger a roll of duct tape.
That works for me!
The less space between seats
the worse it gets
and there's nobody there to stop airlines from doing this
Sure there is. Simply stop flying. take the train. rent a car. If the airlines start finding themselves with a whole lotta empty planes, they'll sit up and take notice.
Harley Gould exactly
It’s like people forget how capitalism works
At 6'4" I was forced to never fly again after they cut the leg room to only fit 5'4" stature people.
stop flexin
@Eddie Simongkhonh Depends on the "pitch" of the seat and how much of ones body is legs versus torso. Nothing to do with weight. I am almost 6'4", and there are many airplanes with seats where my knees press hard into the back of the seat in front of me. That forces me to bend them under my seat, stick a leg in the aisle, and/or twist my legs so they go under the seat in front of me. I try whenever possible to avoid certain airlines and/or airplanes when the "pitch" is not enough. The person could weigh 160 pounds or 260 pounds. His or her legs would be the same length regardless.
@Cher L. Depends on how long his torso is compared to his legs. Some tall people have longer legs. Others have shorter legs but longer torsos. It also depends on the airline and plane used. The "pitch" used varies. Some planes have REALLY small pitches, and no one that tall could sit straight with his legs in the seating position without having them bang against the seat back. Again, weight is not the issue. It's how long his legs are.
@Eddie Simongkhonh No, the weight is not the issue so much (though your son is pretty skinny which might help a bit). I know guys far taller than me who can sit OK (sort of) in smallish cars and SUVs, but I cannot without my shins or knees hitting the dashboard. Some of them weigh the same or more than me. I'm almost 6'4" and 240. Some tall guys have taller torsos than others even at the same height overall. For instance, 2 guys 6'3" could have different inseams - one at 36" while the other is 34". Also, you need to know what the "pitch" is of the seat your son sat in. I guarantee you that there are planes where he could not sit up straight without having to cross his legs or bend them under the seat. It also depends on the thickness of the seat back in front of you. Different airlines and plane configurations use seats with as little as 29 inches and as much as 32 or so inches in economy class. I cannot sit in a seat with less than 31" of pitch without my knees pressing into the seat back in front of me. I've been on lots of planes in 40 years, and it can vary wildly.
6 ft and no problem here
shouldnt they stop drunk people from boarding
if they did that, you wouldnt be able to ride on the plane anymore. lol joking, couldnt resist it, :)
,.
yeah but rarely are their noses sniffing for alcohol or keeping watch for drunken staggering and listening for slurred speech. and its not always drunks, there are also nutjobs finding their way onboard and there's also people who think they can do whatever they want and not follow the rules when it pertains to cellphones or loud chatter
derek wall I agree Have you ever hear the AOL messenger ring when you have message when they are on instant messenger, If your on a 6 hr flight and you have one of these arrogant people that wont put it on vibrate, it will after about a half hour drive you nuts and most people think that they can do with they want and they answer you like this, I payed enough for this ticket dont tell me what to do, just deal with it if you dont like it find another seat. almost got to me one day lucky i did not open the door when the plane landed and said did you enjoy your flight Here let me help you get off and throw the piece of shit on the tarmac.
I was a "drunk" for 50 years. Never caused any problems. Am I the only one?
Commercial planes typically cruise at altitudes between 36,000 and 40,000 feet. Most airliners are not allowed to fly higher than 45,000 feet. The highest altitude recorded for a commercial flight was set by the Concord, which ascended to 60,000 feet. 6:06

NO DRINKING SHOULD BE ALLOWED ON PLANES PERIOD......
ERIC EDMUND $$$$
@Angela R Airlines make too much money on alcohol sales to want to do that.
If someone can't go without alcohol for a few hours then there's a major problem... A problem that should prevent them from boarding
Since alcohol isn't involved in many of these events, how do you expect this solve anything? Also, there is nothing preventing the people from getting wasted in the airport bar, or even before they get to the airport. I was on a flight that had no alcohol served on board and halfway through some schmuck decided to start screaming at everybody. How does banning alcohol stop that?
Stupid
Not all who drink act like idiots, you must though.
It relaxes me
I've been binge watching passengers acting crazy on airlines lately and while I don't condone flight attendants becoming unprofessional I gotta say, I kind of understand why at some point one of them losing their sh*t.
The part with the pilot was scary. TG that corrections officer Gonzalez was there to subdue him.
Must be a cop lover. Lol
I was stuck taking a bus from Stockton cali to KC ks, it took 3 days. By the end of the trip a group of us became a pack...we slept in a heap, we shared what we had with each other. We looked out for each other's stuff. We started out as strangers and bonded over misery and crowded conditions. It was amazing. Not all experiences are all good or all bad...it is whatever u make of it.
You should see the “Water Rage” on the lake by my house during the warm seasons. Boaters, jet skiers, fishermen, kayakers, knocking each other over in their wakes, fighting over fishing or anchoring spots, boat launch ramp fights, the sheriffs on both sides of the lake have to keep the peace.
Then stop serving cocktails on plane’s that’s how u get drunk passengers
"Skittles" such as "prozac" need to be added to the inflight snacks.
You would eat airline food? That's sad.
Now these poor airline employees have to have these air rage incidents at a 60% higher increase than pre-pandemic
As the generation raised without discipline and respect for authority tip toes into adulthood. It will only get worse...

Anyone who causes a disruption on a plane especially if the plane had to divert needs to be put on the no fly list for 10 years and be made to pay compensation to anyone they cause to miss connecting flight and to the airlines. A lot of this will stop if that ever happens.
Stop selling alcohol in the airport and in the plane...period. When they got drunk...they become uncivilized.
Why allow any alcohol on a plane?.. Your'e stuck in a small cylinder full of people who cant go anywhere... Its just like asking for problems
@classyasfuck yea, that's the thing. People are getting dumber so it can't hurt to stop serving alcohol on the plane
SHUT it!! Goodie 2 shoe
heavy meddle it isn't fair to deny alcohol to passengers who cause no trouble. Why should we be penalized because they can't hold their liquor?
Lincoln Paul These incidents happen all over the world with no higher frequency in the US. Ignorance also appears to be prevalent all over the world too as your comment indicates...
It's a mental health issue.
Maybe airlines should stop treating paying passengers like sardines in a can, which are completely without rights and dignity.
There should be a social credit system for flying. Also no alcohol on planes
I feel for those flight attendants. They do a great job!
Richard Head I know. I’ve been in retail for 23 years.
JetBlue what a disgusting company! The flight attendant not helping the kid, needs naming, shaming and firing!
Perhaps there is a slight correlation between the increase in incidents and the increase of seats density in new airplains.
Absolutely. A direct correlation.
More than slight.
I have never, ever heard an upset person say, "I am so distraught!" when they really are very upset! 😂 Usually by the time people are that unhappy their vocabulary has shrunk to the point they wouldn't even think of using the word distraught... then again, I don't think I've ever heard anyone else refer to _themselves_ as distraught, only other people. 🤔

Air fare got cheap enough so that the type of trash that usually takes the bus could afford to get on airplanes.
I know there are crazy people but why are the flight attendants so bad at responding to real need as the three year old peeing all over herself and no one helped but in fact wanted her off. Flight attendants our equally as bad at dealing with the small and trivial helping them escalate out of hand. There are bad apples every where so attendants are some of those apples.
that story about the 3 year old pissed me off
Gotta admit that emceeing a wet t-shirt contest for Spring Break chicks is an epic last day on the job tho.
OH ! THAT IS JUST FILTHY! AND IMMORAL!! AND I LOVE
Why didnt I see an advertisement for that flight ?
Meanwhile the plane is on auto and the pilot is in a drunken coma
Imagine being asked why you left your last job 😂
"They can likely spot potential troublemakers"....Smell em' too.
Any disruptive passengers names and addresses should be issued to each passenger on board being inconvenienced, so that that person will never do it again after being bombarded with people who now loathe you.
🤣 that flight attendant thought..he was done with it!
probs because he realized that people unironically use laughing emojis or emojis in general.

Airline rules are getting worse. More money, less legroom etc etc. it never used to be that way
Less legroom? More like larger waist size. It literally costs more money to ship all that lard, and you want the airline to reduce the number of passengers per flight but lower the ticket cost? LOL typical American!
This situation NEEDS addressing and given SERIOUS thought! The 'safety instructions' are IRRELEVANT and need to be totally reviewed! Passenger SAFETY and COMFORT is of NO concern to struggling airlines these days

No idiots should be allowed on planes.
I can see why AA flight crew employees are going to strike ! You couldn’t pay me enough to do their job these days
I remembered a few years back going from LA to Washington D.C. on a JetBlue flight the seats were so crammed together and it was a packed flight it felt like I was in a sardine can. I could hardly move my legs as they're pushed up against the front seat. Good thing I was exhausted so I took a nap throughout the flight otherwise I might have gone insane. I hated being cramped up like that.
I won't fly anymore unless I can come up with the money for a first class ticket. In the old days, I was so comfortable on flight! We're not livestock, and I wish the airline clowns on top would remember that.
You have a choice to fly, drive, take a train or a bus.

Wet t shirt contest makes staying under control impossible
I fly overseas every month. I have seen fight, people thrown off airplanes, and medical emergencies. I have seen other things such as sitting next to John Travolta going from LAX to Brisbane. I also sat next to Kenny Chestney although I had no idea who he was at the time. Him and I talked for a few hours on the flight from Atlanta to Switzerland. People were just laughing at me talking to this guy knowing who he was. I have also sat next to famous lawyers, banker, Hadley fund managers, authors, and more. I once took a flight from Paris to the Ivory Coast only to be taken hostage for a brief time until Air France paid out money. I then flew on to Legos. The scariest thing that ever happened was flying from Las Vegas to Atlanta. The flight crew (pilot) flew us into a thunderstorm. We ended up rolling the aircraft while in a step dive. We had the altitude to recover but several vomit bags were used.
I feel for the lady with the 3YO daughter towards the end. I had a similar situation with my baby on Continental airlines. My baby had a stinky diaper just after they started bringing meals to people. They were close to the bathrooms, but just had to scoot back a little to let me in. I started to stand up to take my baby to change her diaper, and they would NOT let me do that until they were DONE serving the meal. I told them no one is going to want to EAT until after my baby was changed, but they didn't give a crap. I have not flown Continental since then.
No one has flown Continental for quite some time now. The airline merged with United Airlines 13 years ago.
@@AMSFlyer I hope they provide better service now in that case.
I'd never fly again, there's too much of this.
Well……..I hate to say this now, but flying used to a pleasant experience back in the 50s-80s,…but not anymore. Ever since 9/11, more people get angry, and get into more violence and they kept on getting conflicts. The united states has become more dangerous to live now. I…I..I Just don’t know what to say….I want to go back in time.
That's because only the affluent could afford to fly then. Today, even the lowest trailer trash can afford to fly.
People used to dress up when flying and were always on the best behaviour.
You both are right. I used to travel frequently. Before and after. Besides the booze you have crap airlines, crap seating, crap customer service.
I watch old Perry Mason episodes made in the late fifties to mid sixties and admire how they dressed and the manners they had.

Hey, it's a clip of my favorite air freakout! 1:16 "There's a bomb on the plane! There's a bomb... auuucckkkk!

Once people dressed elegantly, and behaved so.
Now they look and behave poorly
If the meltdown gets REALLY out of hand, the pilot can pull zero G's.
Sonny Pruitt LMFAO. You’re obviously an airman or military. That’d be my suggestion, too!
Dear God. When the pilot & flight crew loses it, then you know you're in trouble
The “ranting pilot” was reportedly undergoing diabetic Ketoacidosis, irrational behavior is common in this circumstance. Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can mimic intoxication. Not seen on this video was the captain repeatedly pleading that he was incredibly thirsty, another sign of the condition. These situations normally arise only in people with type-1 diabetes, so the captains medical rating as a commercial pilot should be called into question.
That’s not true because people with T1d are not allowed to fly commercial airplanes.

wow. If someone woke up out of a dead sleep like that on a rampage, you have to know it's something he can't help. The spring break party....ugh. I blame the airline for not restricting the alcohol.
I agree with you about the guy who woke up like that. The spring breakers are annoying .
Have a sign in airport which states that is ok to partake in the bar but potential passengers may be breathylised prior to boarding
and if over the limit denied access without refund .
What a great way to end up in prison. Used to fly frequently years ago, not so much now.
Too many people are deemed unruly by flight attendants. They have been given more power than they are capable of using
I blame cheap airfares. The less a flight costs the trashier the passengers.
To: Larry Sizemore: Money makes people want to stoop back into the hip-cool culture so they can still relate to the everyday guy; In essence: stoop down to being a *commoner,* and not wanted to elevate his dignity. Frugal and penurious people can be dignified also.
Well. This is all down to zero hour contracts. And most jobs out there paying their staff minimum wage.
I hate it when I am forced to sit in a chair and travel through the air at 400 mph. I mean... Who do these airlines think they are?
The flight attendant lost his job for the wet t shirt contest, but they didn't mention whether he kept the plane under control or not.

That’s not the point. People have children of all ages on a plane with whatever they are allowed on a plane. I had to throw away baby wipes away going through security because of chemicals... try it sometime you’ll see for yourself and understand what this mother went through.

Wow. They didn't let the kid go to the bathroom and you blame the mother? They had no reason not to let her go the bathroom. You also don't know the whole story. If they are waiting that long, how many times has she gone? Is her diaper full? You think she is going to strip down her 2 year old on her lap? Your fat ass might have that much space, but this woman clearly was not a heifer. You also don't get allowed to get up and access your bags if they aren't letting you get up to pee.
I doubt those kids are worried about missing class.
Its interesting to note how many of these incidents take place on flights to or from Las Vegas !!
If drunkenness is to blame for these STUPID outrages then why do airports have bars & sell alcohol? Why don't they see their common sense ( use their BRAIN'S) & CLOSE THEM DOWN! PERMANENTLY!!! But, if a passenger is disruptive by other means ( none alcoholic related) then why isn't it that the passenger has been given a FULL!!! history check ( i.e mental health ) the moment they are trying to book a flight ( as long as that person isn't going a to fly within a few hours bit of a problem but, not necessarily impossible! ) to see if they are allowed to fly. O.K this proberbly would cost the likes of the flight companies millions a year. But, isn't it safe than to be sorry!
Airlines make to much on alcohol to stop
4:23 'Did you know at that point you were ending your career as a flight attendant?' - I thought they'd let him back on the next shift.
It’s common because these people didn’t have discipline or taught respect when they were brought up.🤷♀️
Increased comfort would help. If ONE or TWO ROWS of seats were removed from each aircraft, and the seats rearranged for maximum leg-space, problems would be reduced.
