NEW YORK (AP) — A flight attendant on a weather-delayed plane yelled at passengers and challenged them to leave the plane if they dared before he was removed and the flight was canceled.
The incident, involving American Eagle flight attendant Jose Serrano, was caught on video. Flight 4607, from LaGuardia Airport to Raleigh-Durham, N.C., was delayed for more than seven hours on Monday before being canceled.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police, who help keep the region's major airports secure, were called to the plane, but there were no arrests, unlike a similar incident in 2010, when a JetBlue flight attendant went on a public address system and swore at passengers before pulling the emergency chute and sliding off.
According to some American Eagle passengers, Serrano was slurring his words while making incoherent and offensive announcements over the plane's intercom.
Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines, which includes American Eagle, apologized for what happened. The airline said in a statement it did "not believe that the passengers' frustrations were always met with the level of service that we expect from our people."
But ABC News reported the airline, whose parent company is AMR Corp., also released an email from a first-class passenger who blamed the incident on "the most horrible display of passenger aggressiveness" toward Serrano. The name of the passenger accused of being aggressive wasn't disclosed.
Traveler Scott Custer, who was on the plane with his wife, said Friday that Serrano's actions made him concerned about what the flight attendant might do after takeoff.

gay?
I’m just guessing here, but given my previous encounters with male flight attendants, I’m guessing ol’ Jose here was light enough to fly without an airplane.
could be ...
Many are a little light in the loafers, but not all. Many young men choose to become flight attendants for the same reason that females do ... travel, good pay and befits, mostly for travel to exotic places on someone else’s dime.
Inconclusive on the gay part but makes me glad of my decision to drive to any destination that is less than 1000 miles away.
The only places I fly to these days is Las Vegas and Hawaii. The Vegas flights are usually a party crowd so people aren't so uptight. As for Hawaii, you can't exactly drive a car there but the destination is worth the hassle (flying home sucks though).
Total delay may have been 7 hours, but I don’t think they were on the plane for the entire time.
Do bears crap in the woods?;)
Male stewardess with an attitude.
Probably a Sodomite.
Oh snap!

A bit hard to do over water, but I have not been on a US carrier since 2004, and that was a crappy one time situation where I had to fly Delta from Paris to Memphis.
The snotty flight attendant was the worst I have ever experienced.
My gaydar pegged ten.
Note to self: Don’t fly American Eagle. Come to think of it, don’t fly unless absolutely necessary.
