Before anyone gets bent out of shape, let me address this as an insider.
If you do not listen to the instructions of the flight crew while you are on the ground, you will be removed from the flight immediately. The way it is viewed is that if you don’t listen on the ground, you won’t listen in the air where it is a different ballgame.
Could be have caught the ire of a Biden supporter? Yes. Once the flight attendant tells the captain that a passenger is not listening, they’re off. The captain will support the flight attendant 100% of the time, period.
The Southwest person that you saw in the video is ground operations, they are the ones that have to pull the person from the flight.
Don’t tarnish an entire airline of 50,000 people because of one incident.
The mask policy is under the guidance of the CDC. Like it or not, it is the current policy.
How did the man show he wasn’t listening?
Were the peanuts served by the airlines??????
Southwest obviously dont need my business, so SW can shove it up their bottom line
Watch the video please. The ground ops guy clearly said “It’s the hat.”
SW has section 8 clientele anyways. I’d never fly with them - and ever since Covid hit you can see the draconian measures taken by airlines to force people off, yet there was one incident on a Spirit flight where a BLM lady yelling all sorts of profanities and clearly was assaulting people, but she was left alone and the crew were terrified.
Normal folks will be driving more. Being stuck in an aircan at 30,000 feet with the insane asylum is not even worth the time you save anymore.
The CDC does not have statuatory authority to do anything. F their “guidelines” based on zero real science.
