AirTran needs to fire this guy asap, no ifs, ands, or buts.

I’ve witnessed gay male flight attendants really go off on women, for no reason.

I gave the lady a UA “comment card” and told her “It’s not just for compliments!”

[JohnnyP]

You would think a male flight attendant would be flirting with them. Oh, wait, I guess not. My bad.

[End Times Sentinel]

I’m usually somewhat skeptical of stories like this, especially where I’m only getting one side of it. But when I came upon the second line where none of the three knew eachother, that pretty much sealed it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Most male stewardesses are... you know.

[trisham]

Agreed.

[Political Junkie Too]

...a lawyer, a therapist and a retired travel agent...

...walk into a bar...

I know there's a joke in there somewhere.

Another reason why I don’t fly, that any customer service issue has the potential to become a federal law enforcement matter.

[Political Junkie Too]

Sounds like that guy on JetBlue who deployed the emergency chute and left the plane.

Talk about making a fabulous exit.

To me, it sounded like an intro to a new Fall lineup sitcom about 3 women who never met get onto a plane together and then..... “Fly Girls”, new competitor with the Pan Am series, whatever that is/was.

Power just trips some people out. Give them the power to throw people off a plane, and they will find a reason to do so.

I hope karma makes that jerk’s life hellish. But being a miserable human doesn’t give anyone the right to spread their misery to others through an abuse of power.

"this is a man who is not balanced."

same can be said of our POTUS and all too many in our political leadership......

[newheart]

I’ve had run ins with this guy. Well, at least a guy like him. Once I had a guy threaten to throw me off the plane when I pointed out that the bag that was keeping the overhead from shutting was a crew bag. (something about the big neon “CREW” tag was my first clue.) He blew up and said that was completely not true and started in on me about the TSA, babbling. I didn’t really have time for a run in with security, so I sat down. The other passengers around us were cracking up, trying to contain their laughter.

Registered my displeasure on how these three women were treated, suggested a firng of this guy, and restitution to the three women here.

"I've never seen this flight attendant and if I ever see him on a plane again, I'm getting off," said Miller.

Wait a minute.

Wasn't that the problem in the first place?

What boy says he want to be a stewardess when he grows up? Very disturbing to say the least.

[liberalh8ter]

I've had something similar happen flying into Dallas. It resulted in an apology from American Airlines and free tickets to anywhere. The power given to attendants has gone to their heads.

On another note, a good friend flies for a major airline. The stories he tells about the male attendants make me cover my ears and say, 'lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala"!

You beat me to it. I have this in my clipboard:

a lawyer, a therapist and a retired travel agent

My line was going to be:

"walked into a bar."

Maybe someone will complete the joke...

:: he looked at me and said, ‘I’m not talking to you,’ and poked me in the arm,” ::

I’d have filed assualt charges after demanding to be let off the flight.
