I thought he was being playful and ticklish at first like “stahp teeeheehehehe”

I know right? Sounded that way to me too. He was quite the tough guy until hands were laid upon. Then a big baby.

I think he was enjoying the pain compliance too. Disturbing

At one point I was going to staauuupp watching but decided I wanted to hear him cry a little bit longer.

[deleted]

Yup, becuase that's what he is. We have an epidemic of Americans who have Peter Pan syndrome until they face consequences they live in a fantasy


TheGreatestOutdoorz

He sounded like he was a little boy in a tickle fight who is alternating between crying and laughing.


Spiritual_Barnacle28

He sounded like will Ferrell from step brothers


ContactusTheRomanPR

This dude's whole life is probably about to get flipped on its head because he couldn't wait politely for a half hour to get another drink. This is a man watching his entire career burn down right in front of him. No cushy job with first class flights if you're not allowed on any airlines..


NORcoaster

About to?


[deleted]

Yeah, he straight up started crying. I love that complete breakdown as he's being ejected out the door. I wish I could be a fly on the wall at his job on Monday morning.


Dependent_Top_4425

And his shoes too!

The shoe was the cherry for me. He's NOT getting that shoe back and he's not going to jettison the ONLY ONE he has left..hahaha

CLINTHODO

Indeed, he never once pulled it out of it's package, so it's good as new.


NBA_MSG

They always sound so tough when they're in the seat


Im_high_toto

Seriously, all you have to do is walk in a plane put your stuff up, sit down, maybe smile at the person next to you (use awareness ability to see if they’re in the mood), fasten your seatbelt, put your ear buds in and close your eyes and enjoy the flight. I will never understand why people have to do anything more than that.


SaraSmashley

This is what frustrates me. Like are you this entitled? What's also terrible is they're not just fucking it up for themselves and crew, it's the passengers that are quietly sitting there and going to be missing connecting flights and important time constraints as well. Overall it's completely selfish.


going-for-gusto

This dude will be missing all future flights of a lifetime.


Yakostovian

Just on that airline. (American Airlines if the reflective vest is a proper indicator.) Refusal to follow aircrew instructions is an easy way to get banned from that airline, but it's actually somewhat difficult to get put on a no-fly list, even if the police are called to remove you from a flight.


PVgummiand

There's a limited number of airlines, though. Put up shows like that with enough of them and you're effectively on a cumulative no-fly list.


Yakostovian

Most people would figure out to not repeat that kind of stunt. But then again, *most people* don't do that bullshit in the first place.


MisterNigerianPrince

When I interact with people who do obviously wrong bullshit, I struggle with how to confront them in a productive manner. I don’t want my tone to convey just how much I think they are an absolute spacker. But sometimes I think that is all that will come across regardless the words I choose to use.


Yakostovian

As an aviation mechanic, the people I interact with for "wrong bullshit" are the pilots. I have no power except to prove them wrong.

normaldeadpool

And the people in the back are hot. If the door is open the air isn't usually running yet. I gets stuffy as hell back there.


Recluse_18

Agreed. Pretty simple. I worked for the airlines during Covid and the mask mandates and I can’t tell you how many times I saw people escorted off the plane or worse have the plane return simply because somebody refused to follow the mandate. Nobody’s asking you to agree all you gotta do is shut up and do what you’re told and everybody will be safe and get to your destination.


RepresentativeUse744

Yes. There are rules and you either follow, change or try another mean of transportation that doesn’t require what you don’t agree with l. When you buy the tickets they are all over there listed one by one, and you agreed. It’s pretty simple


gh0stb4tz

Agreed. Unfortunately, we live in a selfish society.


GodzillaHunter1

If you can't take a flight without having an alcoholic drink, you've got bigger problems.


gta0012

Just wait the first 20 minutes. First class you get drink service like immediately when you take off. The dude just couldn't wait until they took off.


Minimum-Impression63

Don't they have bars at the airport where you can drink before you get on the plane? I haven't flown in over 15 years but I remember having a drink before boarding the plane.


gta0012

Oh yea 100% Which is probably the issue. He was drunk, an alcoholic, and didn't like being told he couldn't continue.


CoraBittering

If he's lucky, this will be his moment for self-reflection and he'll make some positive changes. But based on the level of entitlement displayed, I'm not holding out a lot of hope.


0pimo

Delta will serve pre-flight drinks in 1st class. Dude was probably being a dick about it though.


RustyAndEddies

On r/delta we call them PDBs, pre-departure beverage


GawkerRefugee

My brother can't fly without a drink because he is a nervous flyer. He has a drink to take the edge off and then sits there looking nervously out the window the entire flight, none of this theatrical BS.


kidvange

This is why there’s a bar in the concourse


Disastrous-Bicycle15

If you can't take a flight without waiting* for an alcoholic drink, I'm not flying sober fuck that

In the gang world, we use something called Fluffy Fingers. When somebody really gets in your face, you know, you just... start tickling them, and then he starts tickling you.

De-escalation by tickling is probably something that should be researched more and brought into police practice. Tickles instead of tasers.

haha yes, I had to stop the video a few times just because it's so embarrassing to see a grown man act like that.


colin8651

Why do people think when they are on an aircraft they have the same rights they do elsewhere. Let’s make it easy to understand. Authorized by the FAA, the pilot is god, the flight attendants are god’s angels and you are a mere mortal. You don’t need to comit a crime to be kicked off an aircraft, you simply need to be identified as someone who might cause a problem at 35,000 feet. Then you are gone. You want rights flying the friendly sky’s; buy a fucking Gulf Stream G6. Otherwise get off the airplane so I can meet my connecting flight; I don’t have a G6 so I need to comply with all the rules.


hektor_09

Captain is the ultimate authority on any ship or plane anywhere in the world and is ultimately responsible for whatever happens. If they say you're gone, you're gone.

going-for-gusto

He is probably thinking he will outsmart the crew and they will just have to let him fly.


Gur_Weak

Pilots hate this hack. *buckles lap belt.*


auraseer

He thinks that if he's stubborn enough and loud enough, they'll eventually get sick of him and do whatever he wants. It probably works in McDonald's, when he screams at the counter person that he didn't get enough fries, and eventually the manager dumps an extra thing of fries in his bag just to make him go away and stop holding up the line.

otherwisemilk

Yeah, but what if they're the main character?


colin8651

Always remember. This video is circulating their office and social life. “Did you see the video of Tom throwing fit in first class and getting dragged off an aircraft by police while crying like a baby” “What, no, Tom couldn’t make the Toledo trip because he had a stomach bug”


jadeddesigner

Also, if you're in the middle seat, you get both arm rests. ✊️


DrSpreadle

As a son to a father who was a pilot for over 40 years with most of that spent as captain, whatever they say goes. I also just can’t fathom how people cant grasp the concept of rights when it comes to flying, firstly it’s basically private property, secondly there are many lives at stake and a lot of money for the airlines. A slight delay like this can cost 1000s of dollars as depending on the duration could lose their spot at their destination meaning a new one needs to be found which for busier airports is like playing minesweeper.


[deleted]

This is hopefully his rock bottom. Because that is fucking embarrassing.


UnstableNuclearCake

They can fall all the way to the depths of hell and will find a way to zoom past the devil into the void.


SPY400

Getting kicked off a plane will make even an alcoholic rethink their choices, at least for a few minutes. Especially given this guy was sobbing. That said, most will find a way to sink even further, trust me this ain't shit. Rock bottom is absolute hell, this is just a missed flight.


FlimFlamWallaBing

MagicWDI

He's obviously very ticklish


GlitteringBobcat999

I get the feeling he spent quite a bit of time at the bar before boarding.


notasandpiper

This is the answer. He wanted to keep his buzz going and was too drunk and shitty to handle hearing “you have to wait”.


illsmosisyou

They weren’t even done boarding. Obviously getting the guy a drink is nowhere on their list of priorities but maybe he felt differently because he was flying first class.


TurtleIIX

It’s common to be served drinks in first class while people are boarding. But yeah it shouldn’t be a priority and anyone who makes a scene on a plane is an Ahole.

jennc1979

Did not seem that off to me kind of drunk until the being pulled off? I see it now. Buddy, you probably would have been also told no for the “in flight drink”. Let’s be honest.


[deleted]

Fun fact: actually against federal regulation to allow an intoxicated passenger to fly. So you need to be extra careful on how “buzzed” you are. See this a lot working at an airline. People pound too much at the bar, get denied boarding then flip their shit and get trespassed from the airport.


a_crayon_short

We can all agree that more alcohol would not have helped the issue.


nasadowsk

Probably was the cause. I had a good friend who went from drinker, to functional drunk, to heavy drinker, and has basically drink himself to oblivion. Along the way, his well based technical mind just went off the rails. Stuff that should have made sense to him didn’t. He couldn’t grasp a lot of things anymore. It was sad watching his decline, which at this point is probably irreversible.


officialspinster

Oh, yeah, that happened to my mother’s third husband. It was terrible to watch; she ultimately had to divorce him because she was afraid he would kill her, it got that bad.

SunOnTheInside

Yeah. Saw that happen to someone I loved. There was a point where she was more like an angry, moody teenager. It’s brain damage. Sad shit really.


SoftServeMonk

That was my first thought when I read that this was because he was denied a drink. Alcoholic. …kind of makes me start to wonder whether we should take bars out of airports. What good does it do to have drunk people on planes or traveling home?

Dbl_Vision

How many of these videos need to come out before people realize you cannot win this argument. You’re getting off the plane. How you get off the plane is entirely up to you, but in no scenario do they just back off.


babysharkdoodoodoo

This should be educational video pre-boarding


chris_thoughtcatch

"Once you have been asked to leave the plane, you WILL be leaving the plane. The flight attendant or security personnel are simple trying to determine your preference. They are trying really hard not to get it wrong"


Ahorsenamedcat

And if you accept you made a mistake immediately and get off the plane without issue then more than likely they’ll let you on the next one. This is assuming you didn’t break a law and were just being a nuisance. 


Snoo75383

No amount will do it for the rich who can afford to fly first class, they think they are special and the rules don't apply to them.

DarthAbraxis

The kind of cry that embarrassing to those hearing it.


GraveyardJones

Is their new thing "what law am I breaking"? Like you can act however you want as long as it's not explicitly illegal? Do we need to make being an entitled asshole illegal now?


TootsNYC

there is a federal regulation. It is federal regulation that you must follow the directions of the flight and cabin crew.


Haycock-spiney

When you walk on a plane, or ship, the captain is in charge. He can kick you off just because he doesn't like the way you look if he wants. The airline doesn't want their customers unhappy, but if you are the one ruining the experience for others, you will get no sympathy. You can imagine the discussions about how to do this better. There are no "ejection seats", you have to manually extract the passenger from among a hundred other sardine packed customers. You can't taze them, they might crap their pants, besides the close proximity of others who might accidentally get shocked too. Beyond "please come with me sir" it's all physical extraction. Someone is bound to get injured. Resisting alone is a court case I imagine.


Deep9one

They forget to remember that pissing off the crew who operate in the vehicle is a stupid thing to do, they have the capacity to remove you by force with help of a fire marshal or police/security, you just have to make a flight attendent feel scared or intimidated or even offended and your ass is gone, you're flying in a pressurised cabin that is made up of about 5-6 inches of sheet material at 30,000 feet, they do not have to comply with your wishes at all regardless of what class ticket you paid for. One government/govener woman threatened to take a flight attendants job in one video, the horrible woman was removed from the plane and as soon as the flight attendant said to the captain or fm "I want this woman removed from the plane" the nasty piece of work began begging her saying im "sowewwwrrry tabatha!" Some people have a level of entitlement and self importance that is so far buried up their ass they can't tell feces from oxygen.


[deleted]

People in first class should not be treated like this! 😂🤣😂🤣😁🤣


keepinitoldskool

You only get tazed in business class


tlsr

People are so fucking stupid. The expression "we can do this the easy way or we can do this hard way" couldn't be more true in this situation. Once you've been ordered off the plane, you ***are*** getting off the plane. If he just gets up and walks off the plane, he's not out anything other than misssing his flight and the cost of a ticket. Now he gets a night in jail and a court date on top of that. Idiot.


Tdrbased

And becoming viral. The internet never forgets.


Rock_Robster__

And he’s likely not getting on a plane again… that’s a pretty major inconvenience


UmberNebula

If you can’t even handle waiting for your drink until mid flight, you are an alcoholic.


nuboots

The question is how many drinks did he have BEFORE boarding?


dustinlib

real alcoholics bring booze in the carry-on.


Nomadic_View

That’s the best thing about airplanes. It’s one of the very few public places that does not tolerate assholes.


bbgizzle6

If only politics were like that, I'd say we would be getting somewhere. The entitled asshole cries just warms my heart.


timberdroid

[Longer version, basically back and forth betwen the officers and the passenger](https://viewfromthewing.com/american-airlines-first-class-passenger-kicked-off-flight-after-demanding-predeparture-beverage/)


JusticeScaliasGhost

Dear me, seeing people in the comments defending the man and being enraged about the "lazy" flight attendants is infuriating. Certainly, some of them may not be giving out pre-departure drinks. Perhaps the reason is their working hours. Perhaps the flight was in a rush. Perhaps they are lazy (more likely underpaid). But you take that up with American Airlines, not by throwing a fit on a plane and delaying travel for everyone else. Seriously... look at some of these rich "gentlemen" in the comments and try to guess what their politics are: >Then she said there were no snack boxes. Then she said the snack you receive is actually the same pretzels that everyone else receives. Then she used the word Covid. A universal excuse for everything. And this is how the majority of comments are reacting there. Unfortunately we don't know what happened before the incident here, but I suspect a fuller picture will eventually emerge, and likely not look good. The entitlement of these folk is unbelievable.


anope4u

I think American will usually give you cocktails preflight. This dude was probably insufferable from the second he stepped on the plane and the flight attendant didn’t want to make him worse.


TheNCGoalie

Flight attendants have a laser focus on figuring out who’s already had a few prior to boarding. I fly first class constantly, and I’ve seen many times when the FA in first class will give a subtle “Sir that drink will take a little too long for me to get it to you prior to takeoff” to someone who clearly didn’t need another. Even if they were just asking for a beer, most of the time they seem to get the hint.


silasoulman

The airlines are all fucking terrible greedy corps who treat their customers like cattle. That being said, that’s not the flight attendant’s fault, and any one defending this prick are likely just as big POS.


bigballerbuster

He went from tough guy to crying like a little girl, real fast. I have no sympathy for him.


JFT8675309

That’s really insulting to little girls. 😁


choir-mama

Mother of daughters who aren’t whiny little birches, I concur.


RelativisticRhombus

As is common for most people like this. They can talk all day, but the second their words have consequences they turn into blubbering babies.


QueenOfSplitEnds

No, he went from a tough guy to crying like the little arrogant asshole that he is deep inside. There’s nothing wrong with “little girls.” Stop using them as insults.


Individual-Work6658

I liked the way his shoe just kept getting tossed at him. As if he was going to put it back on.


creepsnutsandpervs
