This passenger is a moron. How bout this. Okay a$$ hole let's take off in the thunderstorm and get the crap kicked out of us so you can make it to DTW. So you in the back scared sh!tless. Lightning all around. But no it's too hot. We need to go. Here's the kicker. You sue the airline because you think the Captain put you in danger. Can't have it both ways.

Did the plane not have an APU?

Wow, what a weak captain! This passenger had the captain scared and nervous.

How about the captain doing a better job communicating to the passengers the situation...what's being done...what's not being done...why and why not. That would have fix much of the problem.

Next step - Sir, you are interfering with the flight crew. Sit down or I will have you arressted.

I was embarrassed by this captain. I understand customer service / relations...but this guy was abusive and the captain was weak.

 

[Foxcow]

That was a very weak captain.

You saw a few minutes of video and are second guessing the Captain? Give your fellow pilots a little more respect than that.

Word up.

So you were there and know what was said by the crew to the pax during the ordeal apparently? Didn't think so. The Captain tried to tell the guy what he has been done and waht is trying to be done, the guy didn't want to listen to it.

He (the Captain) did a decent job of handling it professionally. I bet he wanted to tell the guy to go F@#k himself ( I know I would), but everyone knows you can't do that.

What are you going to say in that situation?

okay, I'll give you that. I was not there and my comments are based only on what I saw in the video.

I think 5 minutes is a long time to have someone all up in your sh it.

You think he handled it well????

I don't think I'm qualified to answer that having only seen five minutes of video and not having been in that situation with a camera and a jackass staring me in the face.

How much more time do you need to see the captain getting his ass handed to him for you to finally say that he should have been a "captain" about it and told the guy to sit down and stop filming in the cockpit, and if he has a problem with what's going on, talk to airport operations. But leave the cockpit area. And if he doesn't leave, have security on their way rather than making empty threats about it. Guy was trying to be a hero and "save" all the pax. Attention-seeker. Jeez show some authority.

[Turtlesfly]

Nothing that captain could have said could have made this guy happy so he's pretty much just screwed all around

 

[RSixer]

I don't think the Captain did anything wrong, he was just doing his best in a bad situation, dealing with a complete jacka$$. How did that passenger know that those people where at a health risk, is he a friggin doctor? Was he a pilot, or an A.T.C. guy, did he really have any idea of what was going on? If not I would have told him to shut his blow hole and sit the hell down.

 

[AV1ATRX]

I know it's a wasted emotion, but I was angry last night after seeing the piece that NBC Nightly News did on this. They VERY obviously edited it to look like the captain said he would take everybody off if his own family were on board. That's the only part of that video they showed, which is highly unfair. Man I hate the news...

I would field dress that guy and have my F/O film it. Then send him to the taxidermist and have him stuffed and hang him in my basement.
