Bieber pilots had to us O2 masks, FA abused

[DieselDragRacer]

Justin Bieber and his father were ?extremely abusive? to a flight attendant as their private jet flew from Canada to New Jersey on Friday, forcing her to take refuge in the cockpit, according to an official report obtained exclusively by NBC News.

According to multiple law enforcement sources, the leased, luxurious Gulfstream IV on which the 19-year-old Canadian pop star, his father and an entourage of 10 friends traveled was so full of marijuana smoke that the pilots were forced to wear oxygen masks.

The captain of the flight stated that he warned the passengers, including Bieber, on several occasions to stop smoking marijuana, says the official report of the incident. The captain also stated he needed to request that the passengers stop their harassing behavior toward the flight attendant and after several warnings asked the flight attendant to stay with him near the cockpit to avoid any further abuse.

According to multiple sources, the attendant was forced to spend much of the flight near the pilots as the plane travelled from Canada to Teterboro, N.J.

The flight attendant stated the passengers, including Bieber and his father, Jeremy Bieber, stated the report, were extremely abusive verbally and she would not work another flight with them.

The pilots, despite a pressurized cabin, were forced to wear their oxygen masks during the flight, according to multiple sources, so that they wouldnt risk inhaling marijuana and failing any subsequent drug test, which would put their licenses at risk.

My company has certain celebrities blacklisted from flying with us, that moron is one of them.

 

[t-bone]

Sounds like that crew needed to exercise some authority...

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Divert early and often. Declare smoke in the airplane, land nearest airport, let police on to deal with it, save certificates.....

 

[340drvr]

Abnormal procedures checklist:
(Rainbow colored) Smoke/ A$$hole$ in cabin:
1. Oxygen masks - donned
2. Cabin pressure - set to 20,000 ft.
3. Immediate descent and diversion to suitable landing airport.
4. Cabin (forcibly) evacuated.

Wow. Probably the one and only redeeming quality about airline flying is that I can immediately divert and offload any **************************************** that cross the line. Even if it's an international flight, let the boys with the badges deal with it on the ground.

 

[Pattern-Master]

Only good thing to come out of Canada is the band Rush, they can keep the rest of it!

What about the Dehavilland Beaver? Pamela Anderson?

That's all I got.

The charter company I fly for would back me 100% for diverting if a passenger refused to stop smoking. It has nothing to do with the type of flying you're doing.

Hindsight is 20/20, but it sounds like this captain should have been a little more forceful. I think letting passengers get away with lighting up AND being abusive to a crew member is unacceptable.

That's the way it should be. Some of the crap I've heard from friends flying for some of the sketchy south Florida outfits just leaves me scratching my head in bewilderment.

 

[GogglesPisano]

The captain should have declared an emergency, landed at the nearest suitable and demanded law enforcement. Once he became aware of a controlled substance being transported by air Federal Law was violated, in addition to interference with a crewmember. The fact that he continued to destination boggles the mind.

Plus the world could have watched that little ********************stain do another perpwalk.

 

[DieselDragRacer]

I can definitely see the issue with second hand smoke from MJ, but what happens when you have someone like Charlie Sheen in the back and he's tooting lines on a transcon from LA to NYC? Do you pretend its not happening and continue the flight? I would assume charters and fracs have passenger drug policies but do those rules get followed by the crews?

 

[340drvr]

Didn't catch where in Canada the flight originated, but, assuming they didn't start in Calgary, I suppose, proceeding to Teterboro makes as much sense as diverting to somewhere else, and certainly would avoid some serious Customs headaches. Nevertheless, as-soon-as-practicable landing would certainly be in order.

Waterloo Ontario. So it was probably simpler to continue to destination. If the FA felt that she wasn't secure, the decision to continue to NYC probably lessened an already sticky situation.

 

[Newkem]

When in doubt

When in doubt, divert to Bangor. They are used to dealing with miscreants and all flavors of reprobates.

 

[johnsonrod]

Force the kid and his group to listen to his own music!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody slap him up side the head.

Captain should have declared an emergency and landed ASAP. No excuse for allowing the FA to get abused like that either.

Any idea which charter firm was involved?

This one, maybe? Just a guess.

And Neil Young

And Neil Young

I think that dude has restored an old Lincoln to run on the stuff. Well, he claims it's a hybrid powered by "biomass" but I have my suspicions...

http://www.lincvolt.com/

Of course we all heard Mr. Young sing about her and we all heard ole Neil put her down. I just hope Neil Young will remember that a southern man don't need him around anyhow

 

[Golden Falcon]

Neil young might have hit a sore spot..but hey,,we had a cross burned in my front yard during my high school days because my family had African American friends over for thanksgiving...so he might have had a point...maybe redneck Skynard don't need him around anymore...but they should listen to his message...

lmao!

 

[Jetdriver69]

Should have beat that punk's a**, then declared an emergency and requested the law and an ambulance show up.

I had a bunch of drunk pax smoking weed on an POS Citation I years ago. They wouldn't stop, so I diverted into some podunk Texas uncontrolled field until they did stop. I never flew for them again, but then again I already had a much better job lined up.

Some people just need a good a** kicking on a regular basis to adjust their attitude.

 

[booo]

O2 on100%, don mask. Cabin Depress Push. Declare Emergency. Emergency Descent Checklist. Emergency Descent. Land Nearest Airport. Call for appropriate assistance.

Deport Bieber. (Hold the Canadian to Canadian standards....DUI = Felony)

Deny him his visa or his AO1 or whatever his status is.

BYE BYE Bieber, and Honey BOO BOO too!

 

[Fly91]

Pilots were pretty cheesy.....they should have called ATC and reported them as trying to take over the cockpit.........land and everyone of them losers would go to jail and face federal crimes. With marijuana in all their systems and most likely alcohol too......good luck getting a jury to acquit them of serious federal charges.

We used to fly those moron WWF wrestlers out of Atlanta to their shows. They sparked up a joint once in our Lear 55 and we stopped short and kicked them off. If they didn't put it out while we were descending that's exactly what I was going to do to them........all in jail under federal attempted hijack charges.

When will pilots grow some balls......

 

[bafanguy]

Fly91,

I like your style, Sir.

The phrase that pays; "interference with the duties of a crew member". That's a federal offense, I believe in both Canada and US. Airlines divert for it quite often. It's too bad that some of these lower-tier operators are so desperate for business that they tolerate that sort of behavior. The F/A could have a lawsuit against the operator and PIC for choosing to continue to destination when she was being harassed and forced to breath a controlled substance (and I'm pretty sure Canada is way more uptight about that stuff than U.S.). Telling her to simply "stand up near cockpit" doesn't cut it. You've now acknowledged that, at the very least, their primary function of pax safety has been compromised. Just saying

Any updates on this? ( snicker)


Or is the FAA just sweep it it under the rug........

Why should the FAA be different? Obama set up a website to allow US citizens to petition him for a response. If 100,000 people signed the petition in a certain amount of time, he would address the issue. The Bieber petition went viral yet not a peep from POTUS!
