Earlier the complaint was he was told by the folks ON the plane to pull up his pants. Now it's turned to having been told by someone AT the jetway, with another employee, also not on the plane being directed to pull his pants up if he won't.
Now what is that?
Somebody else is speaking for the pilot and telling us what the pilot was thinking ~ yet, the pilot wasn't involved in the original confrontation at the jetway, or upon entering the jetway.
I am sure that before this is over the "confrontation" will prove to have started where it should have ~ in the passenger boarding area, and it's only after the guy got seated that the plane's crew got involved. It's highly unlikely that any of them get a good luck at your butt as you go on board ~ it's crowded, you got bags, old men suck in their gut to lift a bag and their pants fall off ~ ain't nothin' new on an airplane.
Plus, pilots have other things to do ~ like get ready to fly the plane.
Someone really didn't like this guy's britches ~ or, perhaps, we have a case where a knowledgeable professional gambler knew how to change the odds on this Fall's football games.
It's entirely possible that what we see and what we hear have nothing at all to do with the real story.
” old men suck in their gut to lift a bag and their pants fall off ~ ain’t nothin’ new on an airplane.”
In my decades of flying, well over 2mil miles on one airline alone, I have NEVER seen that. Ever. Never. Ever.
