Recently an airline incident has been in the news. A flight attendant gave a passenger an instruction. The passenger failed to comply. Further there are reports that the passenger used foul language, was argumentative, disrespectful and slammed the lavatory door “so loud(ly) it could be heard in the cockpit”, which of course was a closed reinforced door.
How is it that you and I and everyone else who has the privilege to fly on an airline in America must comply with federal regulations regarding air travel and one person gets to throw a temper tantrum which results in delays for a plane-load of passengers? What would give one the idea that the rules do not apply to him? His line of work? The size of his bank account? What?
My opinion is that age does not necessarily bring about maturity…clearly this is a case in point. I salute the flight attendant for doing her/his job.
That job, by the way, is difficult enough, stressful enough, mentally and physically taxing enough-- without having to “parent” unruly self-centered immature “adults”.
On your next flight, if you agree, thank the flight attendant for a job well done.
