American Airlines responds to video of pilot threatening to 'dump' passengers in Kansas

@Jaina Brown cuts accurately and quickly, right to the core. IMO, most people are clueless about "carriage" and everything it entails.

Heck, *I'm* clueless about it all....

preferably while still in the air???

Could drop them in Massachusetts - nobody will know the difference!

The no-fly list needs to be expanded with people such as these, and it ought to be enforced. This type of behavior continues because there have been no consequences for it, beginning at the top, and it only will get worse unless it's stopped.

I do agree with you. He is the Captain of the aircraft, and as such has complete control.

It's when comments by some (these people, one agrees) on the forum make political comments that the comments go off the rail.

Dang Thomas, you beat me to it!

I'd like to know that as well. American Airlines should at the very least ban these idiots from using their aircraft in the future.

Yea, really......I say, open the door and push!!!!!! Idiot people.

That was my thought, lol, “I’ll dump you out at 35,000 feet!”

AMEN to that!!

Unfortunately we don't have a law that permits Airlines to stamp on the terrorists forheads that they are "TERRORIST" They do camafloge themselves like you and me. It applies to other temperaments of people too.

Completely correct; however, those divisions are clearly going across racial origins and a new race war is being instigated under the guise of a stolen election. These USA,USA,USA people are not patriots they are puppets.

Pilot is the final authority about safety of the flight.

That would depend, or at least from my point of view as former aircrew. Pilots flying the helicopters I crewed may have needed ATC permission for landing, but they still couldn't without my approval as well. Need to pick up an external load? Follow my directions to get over the load. Want to land in that small space? Again, follow my directions or trim trees.b ;)

"Don't make me turn this car around!"

If the Captain REALLY wanted to punish the rowdy passengers, he should have threatened to put them down in Chicago, New York, New Jersey, or any other liberal land where they wouldn't want to be! (smile)

Perhaps Minneapolis--in the middle of a riot?

Yes, he did.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

It's called HAFE. High altitude flatus expulsion.

I do. Do you expect people to hold it in on a 10 hour flight?

How do you know they were "MAGA"? You can believe in Make America Great Again, without being a "Trump supporter". For many of us, we see the NEED to "make America Great Again"--to reverse the failed policies that led to downfall.

Yes--someone that fails to heed flight attendant direction DOES need to be "dumped In Kansas" and not be allowed to fly--but that shouldn't apply to anyone that you happen to disagree with, as long as they are following the rules--and we need to face the facts--far less than 1% of the people that went to Washington (by ANY means) caused no harm (62 arrests, according to preliminary records--only 14 arrested were inside the Capitol building--the rest were outside on the picket line.

That's a pretty tame "protest"--especially when you look at the damage caused by this summer's rioting. To label the people on the plane as MAGA idiots is disingenuous and dishonest.

The actions in DC had nothing to do with the Captain warning disruptive passengers. The airline is responsible for its passengers and the Captain did the responsible thing.

Yes Fox should be investigated as well over their perpetration of False News.

Give 'em the DB Cooper treatment - minus the parachute.

That's perfect!!!!!!

better at 10K for those onboard

Are you part of The Public? If yes, then I agree with you.

The first amendment doesn't apply while flying.

So, you are saying you are 12. Got it.

You don't follow the rules, they do.

The first amendment goes not apply while flying. Do you know what a mask is?

Another thing you have been lied to - Antifa were NOT the stormers. Pay attention.

Let’s just stop with the antifa crap OK? Everybody knows who those rioters were. Trump lovers and cult followers.

Doubtful, because they (airlines) were not aware if they were involved and had been charged!--
