I am surprized that the flight attendants had to ASK someone to help, I am 6’2” and 220 pounds and I of been on that like white on rice. Hell if I am going to sit passively and watch the plane get crashed, after seeing what happened on 9-11
I agree. I have a policy that if any SOB acts up on a plane I am taking them down ASAP. Not going to be asked to help. Remember a few weeks ago when the jerk was pounding on the cockpit door? I most likely would of taken him out of the play forever. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior on an aircraft.
I imagine the flight attendants now scan the plane for who they would be first to call on for help in a situation like this. Probably keep a little seat list in their pocket of their top 10 potential “helpers” if needed.
Sounds like there were at least 3 guys who think like you.
