American Airlines insists farty passenger wasn’t cause of emergency...Huh?

American Airlines faced a big stink aboard one of its flights – but the airline insisted Monday that claims of a gassy passenger are a bunch of hot air. The Sunday afternoon flight from Charlotte, NC, landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where airport officials initially said a passenger “passed gas,” WNCN reported. The station reported Sunday that the passengers were removed after experiencing nausea and headaches from the noxious fumes. But airline and airport officials blew off reports of severe flatulence Monday, telling The Post that the plane was not evacuated during a “medical call” after a mechanical issue aboard. “We did have an aircraft from Charlotte to RDU this afternoon, that landed at 2:19 p.m. ET, and arrived the gate at 2:21 p.m. ET, that is currently out of service for an actual mechanical issue – and odor in the cabin. But it is not due to ‘passed gas’ as mentioned,” airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said. Airport spokesman Andrew Sawyer said the “medical call about persons affected by an odor came in after passengers deplaned normally.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Head Flight Attendant speaking. In a few minutes we will be going through the cabin distributing drinks and snacks and a stopper for Steve’s behind in seat 26B. If we had any gas masks, we’d be handing those out, too.”

When I’m in a bar I MIGHT let one slip out. Whenever anyone asks “did you just fart?” I always say “ No, I always smell this way at 11:00 (whatever time it is)”. Exasparates the hell out of them.

“Ladies and gentlemen this is your Head Flight Attendant speaking. As we prepare to land, please be sure your trays are up and locked and that you have your seat all the way forward and those of you sitting next to Stinky Steve in seat 26B please stop your crying and return to your seats because the back of the plane is too heavy to land. Thank you.”

This is probably a case of aerotoxic syndrome. Fresh air inside a moving airplane comes from air pressurized by the engines. This engine bleed air sometimes suffers contamination from leaking engine lubricants. When that happens, passengers and crew will experience toxic fumes consisting of vaporized lubricant and poisonous organophosphates used in it to deter insects and fungal and microbial growth. Airlines are reluctant to explain this in detail because of liability and customer relations concerns.

You're supposed to quickly look at the little old lady next to you and make her think that she did it!

However, airlines no longer serve any real food.

What?! No choice of tandoori chicken or osso bucco? /"Osso Bucco"
