The pilot incited a drunk passenger—classy.

Social media is the exact reason to avoid this type of confrontation. Everyone loves this type of thing- stay out of the way in uniform, and let the authorities handle it. Just the fact that the drunk was communicating threats is enough to warrant an arrest. As soon as the pilot was threatened with physical assault, he should have been over with the agent calling the authorities. The guy was going to "camp" at that point anyway.

hahahaha now that is funny business. I'm a pilot i can't beat anyone's ass! Even though im a 100 years old and have a massive gut . Why in god's name if you're that pilot do you even acknowledge the drunken clown other than to point him out to security. Lose lose situation getting mixed up in that ********************e.

No, common sense is.

The pilot, regardless of what airline he flew for should have shown a lot more professionalism and discretion when being confronted by this passenger by calmly walking away from the situation. The drunken passenger was a fool for making a bad situation worse.

To the pilot's defense, being sold out by your major airline pilots can lead to the stress of being a disrespected second class citizen. Can't get money you earn bc you're whipsawed against other regionals. Get scheduled in all kinds of sh/t ways. That sh/t builds up.

No excuses really. But that sh/t does wear on you and you might not act as well as you would at all times.
