Now, that is one hot tempered pilot! I thought they were supposed to be cool headed and congenial most of the time.
This was probably just as it appears: an unfortunate passenger with (Uber!!) inconvenient bowel blockage.
The two passengers will very likely receive a ‘nice’ settlement, due to all the rough handling, but may be declared as No Fly on this airline.
Wonder if they suspected he was planning a terrorist attack.
If that guy has a condition like gastroparesis, the airline better get their checkbook out.
Flight crew have keys to manually lock and unlock lavatory doors.
Like many Daily Fail stories, this one reads like it is seasoned with an extra serving of pure speculation.
The article reads like a sensationally written brief penned by plaintiff’s counsel.
Take yer pick:
A. The pilot is a crazy anti-Semite.
B. Something important is missing from this story.
C. Both A and B.
I read over the article twice. And I’m still not sure which one I’d pick.
A sudden attack of constipation leaving Mexico? Constipation is the opposite effect we normally associate with Montezuma’s Revenge. Hiding in the toilet on such a short flight would make a lot of people suspicious. I’m leaning toward “more to the story” side of things.
“Fly the friendly skies of United.”
Ha ha. I
He smelled a possible terror attack.
If you’re constipated, why do you need the bathroom?
He was in the restroom for at least 30 minutes? I think there is a lot more to this story than published. How many times was he told to come out with his pants up before the pilot had to get involved ?
Was it time to land the plane and his moving into the restroom caused a delay?
Did he just figure out the restroom had a more comfortable seat and more leg room than coach?
to quote Ann Coulter: “still beats flying Delta”
Over half an hour in there. That’s where someone is gonna hide out and put together the bomb, assemble the pistol, etc.
You constipated you don’t sit on the throne for a half hour.
Pilot was right to see what was going on.
Also, what was Mr deeply pious orthodox doing in Tulum?
“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
....
10 minutes later the pilot approached Sebbag and asked that he join him to ‘once again try and get Liebb out”
I don’t think pilots should leave the cockpit during a flight.
The cockpit door should be locked and stay locked until the wheels are on the ground.
Pilot’s name nit mentioned? Could it be...Ibrahim Alljoosarescum?
There are too many other people depended on the only option available.
Constipated? Tough shit!
As I said before, fake news. No one returning from Mexico experiences constipation.
