A fedup American Airlines pilot threatened to “dump” a plane filled with “USA” chanting President Trump supporters in Kansas if they didn’t “behave” during a flight out of Washington D.C. Friday, video shows.
“I’ll put this plane down in the middle of Kansas and dump people off, I don’t care,” the pilot can be heard saying over the loudspeaker in a video posted to Twitter.

Yes, people should behave on an airliner.
Sounds like a terroristic threat to me.
The audio and video is at the source link. He said “I don’t care,”
Next time just try singing...Back in the USSR
Once he lands, he’s no longer piloting, thus no longer a pilot.
Unless they chartered a private flight, they have little say. Wouldn’t be the first time passengers who acted up and gave flight crew a hard time got the boot.
Just ride and act lie adults, not a bunch of 13 year olds on a crosstown bus.
I haven’t been on a flying cattle car in years and don’t plan to anytime soon. If there is any industry that deserves to go under it’s airlines.
The whole experience is rotten, from arriving at the airport to leaving the next.
Even on a chartered private flight, federal rules apply from what I have been told. I dated a flight attendant who was employed by a private carrier. But that is just a general statement by me.
I agree...but I bet he wouldn’t have done this with a bunch of BLM supporters...
Unless it was rowdy why would you not like people chanting USA! Unless you’re a stinkin commie.
It’s not like you need silence to fly the plane.
Ok he did say he would put the plane down in Kansas before dumping them off. He was not talking about throwing them off while it was in flight.

Yup, that’s why I said they wouldn’t have much say. About all you can do is complain “I’m paying for this flight!”, but the rules are the rules.
Besides, if I’m a couple mile up in the sky the last thing I wanna do is aggravate the guy behind the wheel.
75 million people need to seriously watch where they spend their money. Don’t fly. Hit them in the pocketbook. Just spend money in Trump States. Find out the sponsors of every ABCNBCCBSCNN program, cancel entertainment subscriptions, no movies, no sports, withdraw support from PBS, earn enough get by and give the government as little as possible. Encourage younger family members to skip college, continue homeschooling. Just starve the f’n beast. We have to do this.
The pilot sounds like an arrogant bastard who hates people in “flyover” country.
“American” Airlines pilot objects to chants of USA.
No audio or video of the unruliness?
