Karen accosts flight attendant, scraps with pilot, gets kicked off plane

It's often the case that love blossoms from the most unexpected places, and you might think it surprising that this couple, a flight attendant and a pilot, would bond over a confrontation with an entitled Karen. The Karen was demanding that the flight attendant upgrade her to first class, mistaking her for a gate agent. This escalated to a point where the pilot of the flight, who was passing by for boarding, felt the need to step in. In her fury, Karen attempted to lash out at the pilot, which…

'Pilot: "I'm not flying this"': Airline industry workers share the wildest things they've ever seen

The ordeal of air travel opens the doorway for some insane behaviors. You have groups of complete strangers who are collectively sleep-deprived, stressed, and overstimulated, crammed into far-too-small spaces for far too long. Air travelers usually have a lot riding on the success of their trip, too, and literally can't afford for things to go sideways, with holidaygoers having spent their literal life savings and cashed in all of their PTO in order to make this trip work—usually also facing un…

'Have fun waiting for two hours': Crew member reveals that pilot held up flight after telling crew members to stop bugging him

'Have fun waiting for two hours': Crew member reveals that pilot held up flight after telling crew members to stop bugging him

Imagine your flight is hours late , and suddenly, someone announces the one person who is at fault for the delay. It would be awkward, and everyone waiting to board the flight would be livid. That's what happened to one pilot who thought he was better than another airline employee. Being a pilot can be a glamorized job, and clearly this dude thought that meant he could be impolite to everyone around him as a result. The OP, u/SolidFlow, shares that they worked to refuel the aircrafts and make s…

Sometimes humans can be bros. It's not very often that we meet genuinely amazing strangers out in public, but sometimes, in the most wholesome moments, our faith in humanity is restored.

'Colleague makes me wait, I get even': Woman gets revenge on coworker by not telling him that their flight was delayed, making him wait 2 hours

For context, the entitled coworker who had to wait because of a delayed flight was, in fact, the pilot. Our hero, the OP who tricked him into waiting for two hours, was part of the crew. You think the pilot would know when his flight is delayed, right? Wrong. That just shows you the VIP entitlement complex this man has. But for real, he deserved it for doing this...

'He kept going and going': Pilot puts an inexplicable plane Karen in her place

A Karen and a plane, name a more iconic duo… The frequency that the two can often be found together is regrettable. Having some entitled and insane individual with you when you're locked in a pressurized cylinder hurtling through the sky at nearly 600mph (for several uncomfortable hours) is not an ideal situation to be in. But it must be something about that uncomfortable situation of flying that causes these emotionally infantile people to lose their slightest semblance of sanity. You know Sam…

As these flight attendants will tell you, flying seems to give people a license to act like toddlers — screaming, throwing tantrums , and demanding things. Although flight attendants are in charge of seating passengers in the right section, distributing drinks and snacks, and providing information during the flight… but th…

One airline pilot shared his story of trying to commute to his job, only to be stymied by a super-entitled woman who demanded his seat! Telling the story, u/snarfleberry described that they really needed to catch a flight - otherwise they wouldn't make it to work. The story is from quite some time ago, when there were fewer airline regulations, and it was way faster and easier to hop on a flight. You could just quickly buy a ticket and get on the flight, and that's partially what caused the iss…
