Jerk Gets Fired For American Airlines Rant

The number of people having meltdowns on planes is not as high as earlier in the Pandemic. The person gets what they deserve in this one.

American Airlines passenger goes on racist & homophobic rant

A man was traveling on a flight from Philadelphia to Dallas. He was removed from the plane because he was touching the woman next to him.

The man had a breakdown when it was decided that he would be removed from the plane. The video began when he used the "n-word" towards the flight attendant.

At this point, the guy acknowledged that he was a little drunk.

• “Are you going to kick me off this f*cking flight with all these f*ggots?”
• “It’s a black f*cking bag, yeah obviously I’m a white man who picked a black f*cking bag because I’m racist.”
• “I’ll get off the f*cking plane with you liberal f*ggots.”
• “I hope all you liberal f*ggots f*cking crash the f*cking plane you f*cking f*ggots.”
• “I’m a chemical engineer, I work for GlaxoSmithKline. I’m about to quit the f*cking job this week, reach out to the company, one of the f*ggots companies in the world.”

My two takeaways from this incident

The American Airlines flight attendants did a great job. Even though this guy continued to cross the line, they were calm.

It is not the case here that crews get on the passenger's level. I hope American will use this as an example of how crews should deal with situations.

Within a few days of the incident, the employee was no longer employed by the company. He claimed that he was going to quit the next week.

I am hesitant to share stories like this because people with mental health issues often act out.

The guy acknowledges he is a bit drunk, and at the end of the day alcohol can bring out the truth. Even though he has to cover it up most of the time, I think his hate speech reflects how he really feels. You don't just say racist and homophobic things. It's not normal.

I don't understand why people try to "flex" their jobs when they go on a rant like this. How exactly is his career choice a defense for his actions, or is he trying to point out he is a classy and well-paid racist and Homophobe?

Bottom line

A man was removed from an American Airlines flight because of his comments. The man has some issues related to race and sexual orientation, even though he admitted he was drunk.

The guy deserved to lose his job. Hopefully this behavior is brought to the attention of whoever he works for.
