O’Reilly was outraged because his flight to the Turks and Caicos was apparently delayed at JFK airport for five hours, without much information given to the passengers.

The former Fox News host can be heard saying in the video, “What you’re gonna do…it’s three hours late…No, no, no, You’re gonna find out,” while jabbing his finger at the airline employee.

He is a radioactive FREAK. Dennis Miller finally figured that out. Trump did too.

You mean O’Reilly isn’t the warm cuddly guy he played on TV?

"There is an interview with US Freedom Flyer founder Josh Yoder regarding the cardiac arrest a pilot suffered 6 minutes after landing."

FFS, this is the same debunked bs as was trolled here last October.

Not even creative enough to change the airport (always DFW) or the aircraft (always Airbus) or the airline (always American) or any other details. Meow.

Bioweapon-Jabbed Commercial Airline Pilot’s Heart Stops In Cockpit Mere Minutes After Landing

"DALLAS, TX – An American Airlines Pilot, Robert Snow, was in the cockpit of a plane that had just landed on Thursday when his heart stopped due to what was described as “severe post-vaccination cardiac arrest,” according to reports."

Snow was operating Airbus 321 and suffered the incident just six minutes after the plane touched down, narrowly avoiding a potential catastrophe that endangered his life as well as the 200 other people on board."

Vaccinated Pilots Dropping Dead Mid-Flight, Oct. 2021

"On October 15, American Airlines Flight 2740, an Airbus A320, was enroute from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to Fort Meyers (RSW) when the unthinkable happened. As the plane began a gradual decent toward southwest Florida, the pilot in command (PIC) began convulsing and had a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, the aircraft was still on autopilot, giving the co-pilot time to evaluate the situation, unharness himself, pull the PIC from his seat and try to administer CPR. But his efforts were in vain.

"The second fatality took place a week later, and it, too was a DFW departure. American Airlines Flight 971, an Airbus A321, departed DFW for LAX at 8:00 a.m. Midway through the flight, the co-pilot complained he had chest pains but chalked it up to having eaten a spicy meal before departure. He told the PIC it was indigestion."

there is difference between having no control of the situation and having no information. The airlines would have better public relations if they informed the passenger of what the problem was.

It’s difficult for me to discuss this as Devil’s advocate because I certainly do what you say. Sometimes, however, in a nice way, I will tell the employee that I hope they try to get another job with a company who doesn’t do this with their employees and customers.

But honestly, discostu, in most situations by far, it is the waiter who spits in your drink not the owner. I personally never have seen a situation where an irate customer was angry at a powerless employee. Sure, it happens, but is that what this is?

Anyway, do you let your boss send you out to lie to the patrons about when they will receive the service they have already paid for? Just tell the patrons, “My boss sent me out here to lie to you and tell you that it will be ready in a few minutes.”

You can say, “Ma’am, I just work here,” but not as a company spokesperson, maybe as a stock boy or something.

But we live in a world where incompetent employees can ignore the customers and all they need to say is, “Okay Boomer.” or “Karen!” and the contempt passes automatically to the customer.

The crux of your reply to me was, “They didn’t do it. No reason to get rude.” Those on the thread who are castigating O’Reilly, who is no friend of mine, are assuming that the employee was not arrogant, was not lying and he was not withholding information from the ticket holders to which they were entitled. Maybe so, but they are not saying how they know that. Someone said that O’Reilly is known as some kind of meanie so that puts him in the wrong. Someone said he is a celebrity so that puts him in the wrong.

Thanks for your thoughts discostu. I have noticed you on FR and I always appreciate your input. Good day, good sir!

There’s a big difference between spitting in your food and corporate policies the customer might find inconvenient.

Oh I’ve seen plenty of times of time customers were angry at powerless employees. And that is definitely what it is. The problem is a lot of people when something bad happens decide that they want a pound of flesh. They don’t care whose flesh, they don’t care if the person is actually offering solutions, they want the pound and that’s the whole goal.

I’m reminded of a time I was at Petsmart. They had those electronic trips in the parking lot that deactivated shopping carts so they couldn’t be stolen. But where they put them was painfully stupid, less than halfway into the lot (a shared lot in a strip mall). So this female customer (I will not call her a lady) had parked on the wrong side of the line, and bought a rather large bad of dog food, and couldn’t get it to her car cause the cart locked up. Justifiably annoying, so she gets back in the store (this is when I get to watch) and finds some employee, little wisp of a girl, and proceeds to berate her for 5 solid minutes about the locking of the cart and all that. I heard the girl say a couple of times “let me page someone” but the customer just kept rolling over her. Now this kid didn’t put the trip line there, she probably didn’t work there when the line was put in place, and she was trying to solve the problem. But nope. Customer wanted her pound of flesh. When she finally STFU the girl said “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do” and walked away. And technically she was accurate, she can’t move the trip line, and by that point she didn’t have any goodwill left to help the customer out.

Who cares if the employee was arrogant. What he was ranting about wasn’t something in their control. And his ranting at them accomplished nothing. And it’s possible said employee had an available solution, but why bother. BOR decided he wanted a pound of flesh. Screw him. Really if you’re dealing with an employee that you decide is being rude ask for somebody else.

I did my time in customer service, and yes there’s a reason why I use the same phrasing people use for going to jail. The work sucks. And it sucks because of these people. One of these jackass customers hit and now you’re mood is in the toilet for the next customer. I’ve put up with being berated for company policy that came from 10 management layers and 2 time zones away. People like that suck.

When things go sideways remember we WANT to live in a polite society. Follow the Golden Rule. Worst case scenario nothing changes but you get to walk out of there knowing you’re the better man. And maybe, just maybe, the employee thinks “huh, this guys is alright, there might actually be something I can do to help.” Or maybe they’ll take that job risking honesty and quietly tell you “look they’re telling us to tell everybody it’s a 10 minute delay, but it ain’t, hit the VIP lounge.”

Thanks for the kind words.

I’ll add another thought about the growing coarsening of society.

One should be polite because you do not know when someone will just snap. You don’t know what he’s hiding under his coat and some men will not sit still to be disrespected this way. We have an expression “going postal” which expresses this danger. You may be just blowing off your frustrations, but the other man will blow you to straight to your eternal reward! Oh sure he’ll go to prison for it, but you’ll not be there for his trial.

Same warning applies to road rage.

FReegards and out.
