A passenger on a United Airlines flight claimed he was forcibly dragged from an airplane bathroom with his pants down by a pilot who broke the lock of the door for taking too long.
Yisroel Liebb, 20, was on the first leg of his journey home to New Jersey with the airline, but was led away in handcuffs when they landed in Houston after a humiliating ordeal caused him to be ripped from the airplane bathroom with his genitals exposed.
Liebb said he suffered physical injuries, extreme emotional distress and anxiety, and in the complaint obtained by The Independent, he added that he felt 'sexually violated and embarrassed after having been publicly expose in the nude.'
The passenger said he had got up from his seat to use the toilet about half an hour into the journey from Tulum, Mexico to Houston, where he was then scheduled for a connecting flight to New York.
Around 20 minutes later, a flight attendant woke up Liebb's neighbor and fellow traveler Jacob Sebbag to check on Liebb.
Sebbag, 21, knocked on the door and asked if Liebb was alright, to which he replied that he was 'experiencing constipation' and would be out shortly, The Independent reported.
The complaint states that 'Sebbag relayed this to the stewardess and returned to his seat.'
Yet, 10 minutes later the pilot approached Sebbag and asked that he join him to 'once again try and get Liebb out,' the complaint added.

Dang, a major faux pas. A double negative. D+.
Another story said they were about to land and no one can be in the toilet at that time.
The champion of passengers’ screwage, so to speak, is not Spirit, it is Scandinavian Airlines. Two years ago, they were so busy striking against each other that they simply told Americans vacationing in Europe “You are on your own” a day before a flight back to US. Cost $2,000 per person to rebook the tickets with United. I wish them all: pilots, crews, maintenance people and, specifically, their management to rot in hell. Never, ever fly Scandinavian.

Interesting. A pretty sick but likely effective ruse.
our alterbate airline tickets
to replace the worthless ones from the cancelled SPirit fight (within USA)
were about $2200 extra each
the nice gate agents from Delta and I think united who were nearby assisted us since we were stuck at the airpot with our baggage and no spirit plane and no spirit agents
but that extra cost was the best they could do for us, given it was a LAST HOUR BOOKING
