Delta Apologizes for Not Removing Disruptive Pro-Trump Passenger

[DonViejo]

Delta Airlines has apologized for not removing a passenger who was shouting obscenities at Hillary Clinton supporters on one of its flights. The apology comes following the release of a video posted to Facebook that shows the pro-Trump passenger yelling at passengers at the back of the plane, calling them “Hillary bitches” and declaring his support for the president-elect. “Our responsibility for ensuring all customers feel safe and comfortable with Delta includes requiring civil behavior from everyone,” Delta said in a statement. “The behavior we see in this video does not square with our training or culture and followup will continue so we can better ensure our employees will know they will be fully supported to make the right decisions when these issues arise.” The flight originated in Atlanta and landed in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

1. God help someone speaking

Arabic on a plane though especially if they are reading the Quran and perhaps dressed in traditional Muslim attire.

11. Nice catch and nice contrast

Both stories should be tied together.

12. And Who knows? perhaps the employees liked what they were hearing from the ranting man

It was a Delta employee that had the couple removed last year because they just felt uncomfortable no real logical reasoning check out the story

2. i can't believe one person didn't tell this dumbshit to STFU

4. They didn't want to get thrown off the plane

I would have put my headphones on and hunkered down myself.

5. I'd like to know WHY the fuck

they didn't do something, like remove, this asshole passenger. It just infuriates me when we know what would have happened had it been a person of color or wearing a hijab. They can take their apology and shove it. I will pass this on to the Delta website.

10. The others would be treated like criminals if precedence means anything with Delta

6. To me, that is too little, too late.

Personally, I would have been hitting the flight attendant button. Repeatedly. And, regardless, the flight attendants should have stepped in and intervened, as soon as he stood up and started shouting. People have been escorted off of planes for far, far less.

On the up side, that guy did end up looking like what he is - a total moron. I hope they figured out who he is and flagged him.

7. Well he wasn't brown or Muslim

What do you expect??

[Siwsan]

8. Exactly, my friend. You read my mind!

13. Apparently his name is out there now.

I saw a thread on it a while ago, but can't find it now.

[tibbiit]

14. why wasnt he met at the gate by the Police?

Why didnt they restrain him? Where was the air marshall? Delta should be doing more than say... Oh Sorry!

15. I agree.

I don't understand why the cabin crew didn't intervene.

16. this airline first

has employees tell a AA M.D. in two separate occasions to go sit down when they called for a physician, questioning whether person who stood up was M.D. A white M.D. stepped up, no questions. Now this trumpfuhrer brownshirt is allowed to disrespect passengers. This airline sucks....their training of employees suck and I will be contacting this idiot and his boss.
