The airlines: the only business in America where complaining will get you arrested.
Great business model. Everyone else would love to have it like that.
This is not Herb Kelleher’s (RIP) Southwest Airlines.
You can thank unions TSA in The Patriot Act for BS like this...

Passenger must have referenced the drink of Russia. Can see how they thought he was russian/ LOL
WHAT was the joke?????
Never talk to the sky waitress.
America claims to be a free country.
We are in fact controlled, penalized and limited by thousands of petty rules and regulations on nearly everything you do and everything you own. The penalty for which is always quickly escalated to arrest and police involvement.
Is that a free country?
Well...
What was the JOKE????
Sounds like the flight attendant had the PMS virus! ;-)
Ahhh, the romance of air travel....PFFFT!
These people told to leave planes dindu nuffin, ever.
Here’s the one Vodka Joke I know.
From Woody Allen:
And the phone rings and a voice on the other end says “How would you like to be this years vodka man?”, and I say “No. I’m an artist, I do not do commercials. I don’t pander. I don’t drink vodka and if I did, I would not drink your product.” He said “Too bad. It pays fifty thousand dollars.” and I said “Hold on. I’ll put Mr. Allen on the phone.”
People from our Greatest generation would never have put up with airlines or stewardesses like this.. and they wouldn’t have had to.. People were much more polite and sane back then. What happened to our society? Has wi-fi fried peoples brains?
Read the article. It was all over nothing. The airline is going to have to make amends. The waitress was wrong.
Not that long ago, people tried to get on a Southwest flight, just because of the fun ways they make passengers have a good experience.
Apparently they are giving them the Shrillary Treatment now.
Anyone with a sense of pride has been kicked off an airline for refusing to accept gawd-awful service ...without a vocal complaint. I have.
The rest of you are just pushovers.
I have actually overheard flight attendants pushing a coworker to take exception to a passenger’s remarks and kick him off the plane. I could comment on unions....but have said enough.
