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.

I’ve experienced similar. Once things go awry with a scheduled flight the situation can degrade quickly. In my experience, having done 100’s of flights, they start to lie. The lies start to contradict each other - this is when tempers start to flare. I usually give them a single delay, if they delay again, I reschedule if possible. I’m not wasting my time with a situation which you describe, been there too. They put you in an exhausting situation with no reasonable recourse.

It seems everything revolves around processes which assume things go right, herding you on & off flights. If anything goes wrong all of the negative consequences fall on the customer.

I had an experience similar where a storm rolled in at a layover location, where lies about delays (resulting in complete cancellation) left people unable to go to a hotel. What made me angry was seeing the elderly trying to sleep ON THE FLOOR, as they don’t have cots or a space for anyone, while all the lights, TV volume, AND CLEANING CREW schedule all remained unchanged. Seeing cleaning staff vacuum the floor and going right up to their heads p*ssed me off. The excuse for the airline was that they don’t control the terminal but were unwilling to even try to contact somebody that could make the situation just a little bit better (e.g. turn off some lights? turn down TV volume?) - as no flights were going in or out and it was 3am.

The other excuse was “this is rare”....but is it? It may not happen at a given airport very often but is probably happening every day somewhere. The airlines should be required to have some better accommodations when this happens. People weren’t being treated with any care or dignity.

Airlines once put you up in the airport Hilton and sent you thee with a bag of essentials. Now they ignore you.

As a side note, has anyone else heard him insisting that Christ was a stone cutter rather than a carpenter because “there were no trees in Judea”?

A relative of mine had trouble with a major airline decades ago, and wrote to the CEO of the airline. Said relative received a personal apology letter in return, and a small gift. Times obviously have changed...

Four out of five of my older sisters are red heads. Grandma Nellie was Irish and we have Scot as well. Some settled in Nova Scotia(New Scotland) and some came to the US.

That person he was calling scumbag probably had 0.00001% power to fix anything.

Bingo. If one really feels the need to unload on someone, tactfully find out who does have the ability to answer your question, and speak with them. Don't unload your frustrations on someone who is likely just as "in the dark" as you are.

Tsa really has worked to make flying a tedious and uncomfortable experience. Taking off half mu clothing to pass through the scanners gets very old.

TSA Precheck will get you through security a lot faster, and with less hassle.

If you can and the airline offers this app take a screenshot of the status of the inbound aircraft. Just in case the reason for a delay conveniently gets rewritten to weather conditions instead of mechanical or whatever the original cause that gets the airline off the hook caring for stranded passengers.
