A man was thrown off of a Southwest Airlines flight for a joke about vodka, which was allegedly directed at a surly crew member.

As first reported by Fox 40, the unnamed passenger was escorted off the Wednesday flight from Sacramento, Calif., to Austin, Texas, for making a joke after a long delay that made the cabin and crew annoyed and restless.

Well, now the pilot doesn't want you on his plane.

Not that long ago, people tried to get on a Southwest flight, just because of the fun ways they make passengers have a good experience.

Apparently they are giving them the Shrillary Treatment now.

Anyone with a sense of pride has been kicked off an airline for refusing to accept gawd-awful service ...without a vocal complaint. I have.

The rest of you are just pushovers.

I have actually overheard flight attendants pushing a coworker to take exception to a passenger’s remarks and kick him off the plane. I could comment on unions....but have said enough.

And the airlines and airports! You treat the customer like dirt and expect praise on top of horrible treatment, high prices and terrible behavior. I refuse to pay someone to treat me like that and if I can’t drive I’m not going.

When air conditioner service guys come by the house every six months, they always pull out a performance appraisal form for me to fill out, as if I’d complain about them while they were there. So I refuse to fill the forms out.

Restaurants use these things too, now, and pretty much every company you deal with online. As if they really care what we think. I decline them all.

I would not want to be a flight attendant serving passengers paying bus fare rates who are expecting five star service on aircraft filled to capacity.

His manager caused the whole thing. It was “Kitty” from “That 70s Show.”

““She said something like, ‘We’re all tired here. And that’s no way to speak to a passenger,’”

IMO that’s the reason the bitch kicked them off the plane.

I thought it was:

Mann Einz: My Hund has no nose.

Mann Zwei: How doest he smell?

Mann Einz: Horrible!

Old airline joke: When asked if he wanted a drink, he replied “I’ll have what the pilot is having.”

Same with TSA...coming back from Hawaii, I was on crutches with a knee brace due to a dislocated knee. Going through TSA was a joy as always......off with the crutches, off with the knee brace, off with the watch, off with the flip flops, stand barefoot without my crutches for ~10 minutes while they try to find a female agent to pat me down. I asked if I could as least have my crutches (yes), I asked if I could sit down (no), finally get the very thorough pat down balancing with my crutches and without my knee brace. It’s frikkin’ shameful we allow ourselves to be treated this way. This is with TSA pre-check. It used to be a fun adventure to travel, now it’s just humiliation every single time.

You should only enter the USA through the southern border.

At the airport



"That's all you got?"
"It's shrinkage, I tell you."
"No, I mean carry-on."
"Carrion? It ain't dead yet!"
"No, I mean where's your bag?"
"I told you. Shrinkage."
