What he cares about is the safety of the flight, thats his job, and thats exactly what the Capt. did in returning to the gate, nothing to do with keeping some numbnut 'happy' 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, instead of the airline punishing him for his forgetfulness--by not going back, everybody has to be inconvenienced. They've made hundreds--depending on the number of passengers, irratated and possibly won't be flying with them again, but they've made two people happy. The math doesn't add up. And for sure since he got away with it this time he'll feel empowered to do this type of thing again in the future. When I was working I flew 8-10 times a year--all long haul, and if I forgot something I wouldn't even think of asking the airline to turn the plane around. I might have asked them to try and mail my belongings to me--at my cost, instead of inconveniencing many many other passengers.......but that's just me--old school. Grow up and stop being irreponsible; too many me, me, me entitled people in the world now days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kerryd Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2023 Makes you wonder what took him so long to realize he'd forgotten his "bag of valuables" if it was that important. And by identifying the nationality of the passenger it certain cut down on the number of "just another privileged American" or "soused Brit" posts, didn't it ? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Serhii Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) By the international flight safety rules they have to abort the flight and redo the safety check of all the passengers onboard and their luggage. This rule exists to prevent terrorists planting a bomb in a plane and then leaving it before takeoff. Edited July 21, 2023 by Serhii 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 1 hour ago, 1happykamper said: So you think stopping a plane, with 100 passengers on board. just to retrieve your forgotten bag is "accommodating"? and you would expect that? If that is what it was , certainly not, but of course that's not what happened. In the full story it says " “We have to temporarily discontinue the flight for the safety of all passengers. We will be taking the affected passenger back to the terminal, and the process is expected to take approximately two to five minutes. We sincerely apologise for the delay.” This leads me to believe that the passenger was was being disruptive, the captain consider them to be a danger to the passengers and crew , and since the whole situation could be resolved in 2-5 minutes they were close to the gate. and had just started to taxi . It is not like they had to perform a TOGA The disruptive passengers were removed and the flight continued watthour incident. From the article it is not clear how long the flight was delayed but if what the pilot announced was true, this is a tempest in a teacup, The plane was delayed 2-5 minutes to ensure the safety of the passengers and perhaps help someone out. Big Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain nationalities are creating way more trouble than others. IMO it did not even matter that he was a foreigner. People should be blamed, not a particular nationality. So because of this are all Arabs to be blamed" I remember reading a story about two Australians being booted from a flight i believe was Phuket , should we blame all Australians? A British boxer tried to open the door on a Ryanair flight. did we need to know his nationality so we can blame all Brits? I can go on and one, there is no shortage of airplane passengers disrupting a flight and being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had it would be another hassle to unload after they throw them out and put on a no flight list. Should be banned from all domestic flights. One way out of the country OK. Leaving the country is not a domestic flight. So ban this scum from international flights? I think so. They can hitch a ride on a barge, freighter, super yacht or a pirogue.

Don't you think that this is a dangerous and Unfair generalization.? Perhaps the perception fed by the narrative some governments might want to promote But it is certainly not true that Arabs are crazier anyone else. But if you have any empirical evidence to support the assertion I would be more than willing to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to take off from an airport in the Middle East I suggested to a stewardess that a passenger was drunk and I didn't want to fly with him. He was removed from the aircraft. A person who is drunk, from and in a country where alcohol is banned is a bit suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
