Delta Bans Trump Supporter Who Ranted At 'Hillary Bitches' On Flight

Source: Talking Points Memo

The CEO of Delta Airlines responded Monday to a video of a man berating “Hillary bitches” on a flight last week, defending the flight crew’s decision not to kick the man off the plane but saying that he would not be allowed on a Delta flight again.

“After questioning the customer, our team members made the best decision they could given the information they had and allowed him to remain on the flight,” CEO Ed Bastian’s memo to staff reads in part. “However, if our colleagues had witnessed firsthand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft.”

The memo states that passengers on the Tuesday morning flight from Atlanta to Allentown, Pennsylvania would be refunded the cost of their tickets and that the man in the video “will never again be allowed on a Delta plane.”

In a video posted to Facebook by Emma Baum, one of the passengers on the flight is seen standing up from his seat and yelling about Donald Trump to the rest of the plane.

...that was the first leg of his trip. I'd like to see him trying to fly back from Allentown to Atlanta. Hopefully it'll be on a puddle jumper with five or six stops along the way!

Attributed to either Lincoln or Twain.

Oh well, this asshole learned the hard way, with his Trumpsucking and illiterate sounding southern accent.

Let's look at this shit the CEO said:

“After questioning the customer, our team members made the best decision they could given the information they had and allowed him to remain on the flight,” CEO Ed Bastian’s memo to staff reads in part. “However, if our colleagues had witnessed firsthand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft.


You have some redneck asshole clapping and shouting at the top of his lungs on what looks like a mid-sized regional airplane and the flight crew didn't see or hear it? Am I really supposed to believe this shit? Did they have beans in their ears? Did they drink a 5th of vodka and nodded off on the job?

This motherfucker was so loud, my grandmother who has been dead going on 11 years could have heard him. Saving face horseshit by Delta!
