I predict this will go down like the 'forced to sit in the toilet guy' from a few months ago.
1st day- everyone talks about it at the water cooler.
2nd day- the 24 hour news cycle has ended.
Everyday since then the company and the pilot involved are counter suing him out of existence.
 
Yeah, guess they got tired of that Delta uniform they wore for the last seven years.


Alllllllllllrighty then......... Now they are wearing a TSA uniform, or were wearing one...

Heck, I was severely gouged once for a cab ride in a smal town in northern FL for a lift to and from a restaurant. I think it amounted to about $24 for 6 miles roundtrip, the cab had no meter. The same "gentleman" came to pick me up when I called for the cab back to the hotel.

I didn't flog the driver though, instead I took the leftover steak out of my styrofoam takeout container and pushed it up underneath his seat with my foot on the ride back to the hotel. It was probably the best $24 I've spent, thinking about this guy making faces for the next week over "where is that effing smell coming from?"
 
I know one of them and flew with them on quite a few trips. Like said before, easy going non-confrontational. Hope there is more to this story.

Yeah, it's called beer muscles at 3 A.M. against a defenseless cab driver over a paltry $9.00 - that works out to $3.00 a piece as there were 3 men involved. Sounds like the third guy knew better than to kick someones head in 20 times.
 
You know, maybe they were actually TSA agents? They look the same now. That should be the defense for the video from the Subway----Rogue TSA agents are going around busting heads! Well, I can't really blame those Jetblue pilots, though. Initially having a crashpad in Yonkers or Ozone Park (before they were FLL based) probably taught them a lot about fighting and ditching cabbies. They were a "product of their own environment...."

Grow up!!!

Classic!

Retribution is a dish best served smelly!
 
Did anyone else notice on the police report that one pilots social security number is listed and the others is not. That guy better do something quick to protect is credit/identity for theft. But then again...would you want to be him right now.
 
Get this crap off here....JetBlue's not a major...:rolleyes:
 
First, how did the heat even find out they were JBLU pilots and how is what they do for a living in any way relevent. Second, from my knowledge of cab drivers, I'm guessing the hack had the beating coming to him.

Two guys got drunk a beat up a cabbie (or bouncer, or hooker, or wife)...yeah, it's a real tragedy. Yawn. :confused:

Must be a slow news day.

Too funny.
 
Cabbie pepper sprayed them before punched were thrown......

Plus if you beat the crap out of someone in the Subway parking lot, would you walk into Subway and order and eat the sub?

There is way more to the story..

Not without first taking the pepper spray from the cabbie to put on my sub.

Subway jalepeno peppers are weak.
 
$9, I dunno, that's almost 2 foot long sandwiches.

What's the deal with price rollbacks on fast food. You gotta wonder what you're eating. The proliferation of "dollar menus" and $5 foot longs at every sandwich chain.

I guess they need to adapt to the economic climate and make it up on volume. The $1 - $5 lunches have been around forever.

Too many nitrates (found in almost all cold cuts) will give you colon cancer and all sorts of other unplesant gastrointenstinal diseases in due time. Especially if you're in a sedentary occupation.
 
Funny thing is...they probably took a cab to make sure they didn't jeopardize their careers with a potential DUI after a night on the town.
 
The cab driver was going the wrong way to collect additional charges and was called on it. At that time he refused to listen to directions of the local residents, the two pilots. He finally brought them to the destination then expected a ridiculous fare. When they rejected the fair and attempted to exit the vehicle one of the pilots was maced by the cab driver. Then that pilot reacted with a punch. Then when they exited the cab the cab driver came after them with mace again and then they defended themselves. Thats what I heard. I do not know that I would take a macing without defending myself. Again, does this change the situation for any of you ready to throw these guys under the bus???

From someone else:

What do cab drivers and cue balls have in common?

The harder you hit them, the more english you get.

Same thing happened to us that i explained in an earlier post. Cuban cabbie basically went insane when we called him on it and refused to stop the car. We called the cops.

These guys got pepper sprayed in the car and then exited the car. The cabbie came after them a second time with more pepper spray. What would you do? Run and hide or kick his freakin ass..

the media sucks and the majority on here just bite the bait pathetic

They should have killed him with the 3rd kick to the head. Have you ever seen a human head after being kicked by a grown man?

Plenty of times growing up and just last summer hanging out in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While sucking down a few with some hipster chick, a faction of thugs rolled up and had beef with a guy over something that took place years ago.

Cut to the chase, right in front of me this guy gets jumped by these hoodlums and kick the crap out of him. The outdoor concrete patio had small pools of blood everywhere and the guy needed staples in his head along with several stiches. He also suffered a broken nose as well. Witnessing this all was quite horrific. Mind you, the individuals involved were mostly in their early 30's and some younger.

Not a good look at all.
 
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked, in the head, by an iron boot? Of course you don't... no one does... that never happens.
