Unruly airline passenger who had to be duct-taped to seat after N-word meltdown fired from Arizona realty company

A belligerent passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied after hurling slurs on an American Airlines flight was fired from an Arizona realty company over his “concerning criminal charges.”

Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, was axed from his job as a real-estate agent at the Tucson-based company Long Realty after he was identified as the lunatic who hurled the N-word at a flight attendant and shouted anti-gay insults on American Airlines flight 618 Thursday night.

“Long Realty is aware of reports concerning criminal charges filed against a former affiliated real estate agent arising from an incident that allegedly occurred during a commercial flight,” Long Realty wrote in a statement on Facebook Sunday.

“Upon learning of the incident, Long Realty promptly ended its affiliation with the individual. The individual is no longer associated with or authorized to represent Long Realty in any capacity,” the company said.

“The conduct described in the reports is wholly inconsistent with the professionalism, integrity, compassion, and respect for others that Long Realty expects from those affiliated with the company.”

We expect those associated with our company to uphold those values, and we have no tolerance for conduct that so clearly falls short of those expectations,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew members, and others affected by this incident.”

Lundeen’s LinkedIn said he was a vice president at Long Realty in Tucson. However, his profile had been scrubbed from the company site.

P.S. My point is that things can escalate quickly, so where in that escalation do the videos show the progress of that escalation. Too late in the event and the guy may seem the problem, but maybe earlier in the video may show the mob was the problem.

I once hijacked a plane to Costa Rica because they served me honey roasted peanuts instead of Beer Nuts as I had requested. Judge let me off as it was reasonable.

The article indicates that he was not only spouting racist remarks, but making remarks about sexuality and insulting women. It sounds like he was drunk.

On an airplane underway, when someone acts so improperly, I think there is no choice but to do something to control him. You have no idea what he might do next.

Jonathan Cahn, the author and Jewish evangelist was the one sitting next to the duct-taped passenger. He has posted a video on You Tube and his Facebook page telling what happened on the plane.

Saying the N-word is the worst crime you can commit in America today.

You don’t think they always have that, and zip ties?

Craziness has been happening a lot on airplanes in recent years.

“Saying the N-word is the worst crime you can commit in America today.”

Even worse than murdering small children.

Worst airports I ever flew into or out of.... Newark. Atlanta. Minneapolis.

I bit my tongue hard from the incompetence of the diverse crew and airport staff.

Demonic eruption. Satan doesn’t like his secrets revealed.

Had a little potty-mouth fit aye? Fire water is bad voodoo when traveling with strangers.

Well The Bible does tell us that God is able to use what is intended for evil for good...if more people hear about Jesus on this account then that's all that matters.
