My wife's boss is flying back home, but the plane won't leave because of a non-masker.

Some selfish, loser refuses to wear a mask, or leave.
They've been sitting there for a while, and now she heard that law enforcement is on the way.

I hope they remove him, and the entire plane breaks out into a raucous, jeering cheer.

UPDATE:
It was a flight from Utah to California—so, a short flight.
Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to the guy.

He was in his seat without a mask. The flight attendant told him he had to wear a mask. He refused. The man next to him wanted to be moved because he didn't want to sit next to a freak who didn't want to wear a mask (he probably didn't want to be near the freak WITH a mask either, after that).

But whatever happened, he lost because the flight is on the way to its destination.

I only hope he was booted and banned. Sorry I was unable to find that out (she couldn't really press her boss for that while working).

1. Keep us posted. I would like to hear that the anti-masker got their due.

[elleng]

2. Hope things work out soon.

My daughter will be flying this week, on business, and my fingers are crossed.

3. I Just Don't Get This

It seems so simple.
It's their plane. So, it's their rules.
And, if one doesn't wear a mask on a plane one has the freedom to not fly.

[Effete Snob]

4. WTF is with these people?

What, in their mind, do they “win”?

[wnylib]

16. It's their idea of a resistance movement.

They get to brag to fellow anti life people about the brave stand they took against the forces of the liberal system that denies people their freedom rights.

[uponit7771]

19. +1, they don't stand for democracy or togetherness so it has to be something stupid

[Evolve Dammit]

31. yep

[XanaDUer2]

5. hope they're forcibly removed

keep us posted

[Mariana]

11. And arrested, and prosecuted. nt.

[Poiuyt]

6. just throw him out the door onto the tarmac.

[Grokenstein]

30. I would love to see that, but it's a security violation

if the plane boards from a jetbridge, and if it's a smaller, ground-boarding plane there won't be enough distance to give the maskhole much worse than a few bruises.

And of course if that started happening, it would be compared to that incident in which cops were called to remove a seated passenger (involuntarily rebooked due to the flight being oversold) and proceeded to beat him to a bloody pulp before dragging him off past all the other horrified passengers.

7. Do these idiot anti-maskers know their defiance will prevent them from flying?

The plane will not be taking off if they are unmasked. They will be removed from the plane and will need to find other transportation. I don’t know if the airlines are cancelling the tickets of these idiots or if they are booking them on other flights. Personally, they should be added to the No Fly List for endangering others.

[C Moon]

9. Yes. That's what I was thinking: every airline should have this person's ID, and block them.

[Hortensis]

8. 6 p.m. now? The other passengers will be glad. Guaranteed. :)

[Treefrog]

10. Where?

[Midnight Writer]

12. Nobody expects to be able to board a plane barefoot, or shirtless.

What is the big deal with these people?

[alphafemale]

13. I hope the anti mask idiot is enjoying the last few moments

He is ever on a plane in his life.

Go Greyhound.

It only takes 40 hours to get from Pittsburgh to Atlanta.

[onethatcares]

14. maskholes

thinking only of themselves.

the maskhole should be held financially responsible for any harm caused to fliers that want to go from here to there
without a problem.

[flying_wahini]

15. Some Airlines are doing a permanent ban on the assholes.

The lady that socked a flight attendant has a lifetime ban on Southwest Airlines.

[C Moon]

17. Good.

[Bo Zarts]

27. As a former airline captain, I say it is absolutely essential that they be banned .. but

As a former airline captain, I say it is absolutely essential that they be banned .. but not only by the airline involved. They need to go to the top of the national no-fly list, for life. No airline in the US could fly these petulant pissants, anytime, anywhere in the US or abroad. And structure it so that they cannot fly on a foreign airline on any flight that originates or terminates anywhere in the US or its territories.

I have had disruptive passengers onboard before, and it is usually just obnoxious drunks. A pain in the ass, but manageable.

However, on July 29, 1989, I was flying a Boeing 737-300 on a red-eye flight from San Francisco to Philly, and we had four disruptive passenger onboard. It is a very long story, but their persistant inflight disruptions triggered a chain of events that very nearly caused a catastrophic airline accident near Denver.

After that, and up until this day, I have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior in or near my airplane, or any airplane, on the ground or in the air. Before I retired, I had the reputation as a hard-ass on that issue, but a well-respected hard-ass that most of my pilot-colleagues emulated.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. you are correct. thank you. Cannot be allowed.

[Traildogbob]

18. Where are the armed air marshals

Their position was developed to stop terrorists on planes. Stun guns, and throw em out the door, then to jail. Enough of these assholes. They do not want to be part of civilized society, fine, get the F out of here. Go to Texas to live.

[Dial H For Hero]

35. Only a tiny percentage of flights have Air Marshals.

[AZLD4Candidate]

20. My friends is an airline pilot and a lifelong Democrat.

As he says, "I love kicking Maskholes off my plane."

As the captain, he has complete authority to do so as soon as you board.

[C Moon]

23. Oh. I didn't know it was that prevalent. Wow. Good on your friend!!

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Or her.

The last one was a her. I'm willing to bet she's going to be looking at a fine in the 10's of thousands and I hope she never flies again. Not even a kite.

[C Moon]

22. Oh. That's a good point. But my wife kept saying "he" so I'm pretty sure it was a male.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. To be fair, it usually is, but every once in a while a proudly ignorant female

does her part for gender equality by demonstrating a level of idiocy that can merely be matched, but never bettered.

[iluvtennis]

24. Jackass. Society survies via rules and regulations. I guess

this idiots also would argue, he has the right not to follow traffic laws - lime stoping at flashing red sign of a school bus. I’m fed up with these jackasses.

[IronLionZion]

25. One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist

Their imagined "civil disobedience" can be domestic terrorism since it's endangers the safety of everyone else and holds up other flights too. Charge them some sort of fine, no fly list, permanently banned from the airline, send them to Gitmo for enhanced interrogation or something.

20 years I've had to get stopped and frisked for extra security screening just for flying while brown and these assholes get away with causing actual financial damage.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. interfering with a airline crew and or disrupting the flight is a federal crime.

some leos and airlines are clamping down on these idiots whom endanger other lives . the captain of the airliner is the ultimate athourity in these matters . many maskholes have been arrested and fined and or jailed for this . hope ur bosses wife gets home safely. pls keep us informed .

[C Moon]

34. Good to hear that some are arrested. Her boss got home fine.

I never found out what became of the guy. I imagine they removed him. He'd be a threat after that, no?

[keithbvadu2]

29. If someone threw a drink in the maskhole's face, would there be many witnesses amongst those who are

If someone threw a drink in the maskhole's face, would there be many witnesses amongst those who are delayed?

[Golden Raisin]

33. They need to be removed from the planes

hopefully prosecuted and permanently put on the "No Fly" list.
