Recently an airline incident has been in the news. A flight attendant gave a passenger an instruction. The passenger failed to comply. It is reported that the passenger used profane language, was argumentative and disrespectful. He stalked off and slammed the lavatory door “so loud(ly) it could be heard in the cockpit”.
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 grounding the plane and flight 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?
Age does not necessarily bring about maturity: clearly, this is a case in point.
I salute that flight attendant for doing her/his job. A flight attendant’s job, by the way, is already difficult enough, stressful enough, mentally and physically taxing enough-- without having to “parent” unruly self-centered immature “adults”. If you agree, when you are on your next flight, thank the flight attendant for a job well done.
