'Come On, Hit Me!' Flight Attendant Challenges Passenger (VIDEO)

[@DUDECUSzxc]

At least THESE airlines actually apologized.

[@brandonreed09]

Nobody well when one loses a billion dollars in stock market valuation the others tend to learn not to copy what they did.

[@lemonhscott7667]

Brandon Reed we sure taught a lesson to the airline companies.

[@fenrisulfr8463]

Man that is such a low bar though...

[@DyingBreed8]

Nobody I bet this stuff happens more often than we know. people are just filming it more now like they did with cops past few years.

[@jeffpro8]

04mzwach You could be right

[@eliw-ph2yi]

American Airlines new slogan is, "At least we're not United". WTF is up with these airlines?

[@johan.ohgren]

eliw 6965 Capitalist companies only cares about the dollars...

[@Robert-rw5lm]

Johan Öhgren so... now their losing money, and threw capitalism those companies well fail if they keep treating people like shit, and people choose not to pay for that

[@johan.ohgren]

Zero time for fun One can only hope, but experience tell me their loss is only temporary and people and airlines will be back to business as usual quite soon.

[@thomasanderson5929]

Nothing is up. You're just now seeing it more because it's the flavour of the week. Media's got a hardon for these stories right now. Don't worry, in about a month you'll forget about all the airline stories and move onto something else.

[@andrewschumm1848]

Seth Morris And there's no more survivors in the aircraft accidents!!!

[@ravager48]

Flight Attendant? More like "Fight Attendant"...*Creeps into the shadows*

[@fuxyews2177]

I found him! he's in the corner! Take your coat and get outta here!!

[@mavendeo]

ravager48 Go home. 😐

[@andrewschumm1848]

XLastXOneX And now there's no more survivors at the aircraft accident in Chicago Illinois!!

[@ravager48]

Lu Sapphire and the Muffin Button Band Go drunk, I'm home.

[@ravager48]

Michael Moretti lol

[@jackflash5659]

'Come On, Hit Me!' this clown shouldn't work for an airline he should be a cop in east L.A.

[@OfficialSeth]

If he was a cop he would have just shot them all in cold blood, gotten two weeks paid leave, then returned to the job like nothing had happened.

[@bm1259]

jack flash Umm I dont think it's fair just to shit on the flight attendant he clearly didnt say shit to the man first although his reaction was pretty bad.

[@DyingBreed8]

jack flash he'd probably get better benefits and better pay too

[@therrydicule]

Not even a cop. Cops should de-escalate the situation.

[@johndo8792]

He was beig ironic. American incompetent cops usually dont de-escalate the situation and shoot people for no reason.

[@coolbeansbroski3164]

This is a prime example of what happens when you give people to much power.

[@williamc.sierra592]

Airliners can't keep their shit together after the fiasco with United Airlines.

[@andrewschumm1848]

William C. Sierra Donald trump is a Fraud!!!

[@masongallegos]

libtards.

[@tonydmty1234567]

AA has a history of Bad and Sad poor customer service and attention. This is just one example. ";-)

[@jackiegreen1876]

Like a domino effect, perhaps?

[@jimistheman9732]

@William C. Sierra - Just getting press now... they started failing the customer at least a couple decades back.

[@josiahlikestodance]

Are trains still a thing? lol

[@Zeldarulah]

I honestly doubt that AA is even that in the wrong here, but I'm just so happy to see Airlines finally get their dues, because they're an oligopoly and they pull so much horseshit.

[@yasseressa1696]

they should build a mma ring in airplanes

[@brandonreed09]

Yasser Essa the new discount class "Fight Club"

[@Elite-bh6pm]

I'd watch that.

[@808zhu]

Yasser Essa How about on top of them?

[@AnonEyeMouse]

___ no... underneath... 😈

[@jimistheman9732]

Use the second story on an old-school 747. $50 to watch it live; $25 to watch in the main cabin on-screen. They could include mud wrestling.

[@AgentDearestZ]

The funniest part is that "I'll knock you flat'' was said.

[@helterskelter4every1]

I'm scared to death to fly these days and it has nothing to do whatsoever with the actual flying and everything to do with the "rules" and the "possibility" of getting kicked off a flight for some small infraction. Too many places I can run into someone having a bad day and they're simply out to ruin my day. People scare the shit out of me in today's world. I hate flying because of it.

[@LesterBrunt1983]

It really isn't hard. Just act normal and nothing will happen. This stuff happens when you decide to make a scene because you had to "stand up" for yourself. There are people that fly every week and NEVER experience anything like this.

[@AdrianBrown]

_"C'mon, hit me"_ In other words; _"I'm tired of this job."_

[@Hawbitten]

I'll never complain about British airways again... Okay less. I'll complain less about BA from now on.

[@retiredjuggies361]

This is why, you need weed America

[@burningaether2053]

Welcome to _Wal-Mart Air_ please fasten your seatbelt and stop recording...

[@Zer0.-_]

We have given airline companies far too much power, even though we are the customers they have been given far too much authority and power by our government to pretty much do whatever they want. The shit airlines pull would put many businesses under, but because they are a necessity they can get away with about everything it seems. We need to remind them and show them we pay their asses, not that it is some sort of honor that we are allowed to fly on their little jetliner.

[@gabrielcostanzo9121]

paberry007 there are a ton of airlines. Just fly on a different one.

[@hattyfarbuckle]

paberry007 I will never fly American Airlines again. They delayed us leaving SanFran to Philly in time for the ongoing flight to England. We knew before we left SanFran and they said we would arrive in Philly about 2300 be delayed 20hrs but would get us a hotel - I was travelling with my adult daughter so told more than one of the team in SanFran we needed two rooms and would need our luggage. You can guess what happened when we landed in Philly - 1 room/1 bed voucher, "nothing I can do" ... "we will get your bags off ..." 10 mins later "we can't get you're bags off" if the hotel hadn't had another room and I hadn't been able to pay I would have had to sleep in the lobby while my daughter had the room. BTW - we weren't the unluckiest, another English couple had to share a room with one bed - a guy about 45 and his wheelchair bound mother ! When I complained after getting home they wouldn't reimburse the room cost and gave me enough airmiles to get half a single flight back to US and then ignored all my replies

[@sixstanger00]

Is flying still considered the safest way to travel? Or should I take my chances hitchhiking?

[@amberbrown206]

big ups to the man that stood up for her

[@Steve197201]

It's nice to see people finally standing up to these bullies.

[@jephteyiphtah3458]

Nothing to see here, just Americans being Americans

[@TiMalice2009]

You have to be ready to film injustices.

[@calleihalnwn2881]

A new social class was created. Above American pleb, but right below cops, we have airport personnel.

[@kingrefugee8888]

Told you, this dude has flight attendant friends and feels the need to back them up. Airlines employs the bottom of the pile, most are deplorable bunch of people that should never be near people.

[@QHuda_A]

I swear American commercial airlines are a health hazard to passengers. Air Canada is bad and we hate it, but even they are not this insane. I will stick to KLM, Qatar and Etihad thank you very much.

[@alexasaperstein2565]

Huda Ahmed you named the airlines of countries with horrific human rights records. Sit down you black thing.

[@matthewwelsh294]

Well Alexa, KLM is a Dutch airline. The Netherlands has one of the best human rights records!!

[@fenrisulfr8463]

Ah, it seems they have gotten Negan from the Walking Dead as their flight attendant. Must have left his bat at home that day.

[@ObsidianRadio]

MMA at 30,000 feet?

[@mutton_man]

This guy had joined a fight club his assignment this week was to start a fight with a stranger.

[@louischristopher4960]

The flight attendant gets threatened by the passenger but everybody on here thinks he's in the wrong for what he said back to the passenger? smh

[@conroexlexx8267]

He should've knock him out cold

[@mwilliams6242]

That was chaotic like Wal-Mart on black Friday with only 5 flat screens available.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Keep in mind, the airlines' flight crews are just as pissed off as the rest of the population.

[@ragnaroksora8129]

flight attendant: "come on I want you to me come on.....hit me.....HIT ME!!!" Batman: "arghhhhh!!!!!"

[@AVGPVP]

If someone asks to be hit, and you hit them, is it still a crime? I'm all about people helping people.

[@alemayehusolomon941]

This guy reads too much 4chan. COME AT ME BRO!

[@classlesssystem6858]

This flight attendant needs to be fired. I've been a security officer for 12 years and the rule is you deescalate a situation, you never aggravate it. You're the officer, you're paid to take the high ground. You never, ever instigate violent confrontation. "Hit me." That should never be in your vocabulary.

[@martfp88]

The few flights I've taken in the U.S. have been a nightmare. Flying is not great, but the U.S. has turn horrible flight experiences into an art. just my opinion out of personal experience though haha

[@delphi-moochymaker62]

He wasn't trying to fight, he was playing blackjack! To his defense, he has to deal with the American public on a regular basis!

[@peter12246]

I'm gonna make sure I'm in the fight club section next time I book a flight, more entertaining than the movies they offer

[@KrisHandsome]

I know this isn't true, but wouldn't it be hilarious if that guy was paid by United to take the heat off them? 😂😂

[@humblereborn1832]

thousands March in LA to remember the Armenian genocide!

[@CaptainFracture]

lmao his wife was embarrassed that he stood up to the guy with the "Tony sit down"

[@ValirAmaril]

"Catch me outside! Oh wait..."

[@wagane1]

Can't believe the hate on the flight attendant. Someone threatened to hit him ffs!!!

Why, does it trigger you?

[@hiddencolors1373]

Futurism since the right do nothing but projections your insults are better fit for you

[@PolaOpposite]

Futurismo - Roy Rogers, the singing cowboy, had a special name for people like Cenk... Trigger :))

[@Phantom1op]

pffft, like that is hard, all you need is four words "women deserve equal rights" and they enter a frenzy. heck, I could do it in three "minority lead role".

[@kevinrex7414]

Maybe it's an airlines thing. People are anxious because flying is scary. In fact, you're born with two fears, fear of loud noises and fear of falling.

[@Stereo3DProductions]

If 10-25% of people who fly think they will die, I need a spaceship to leave this planet ASAP.

[@N_Ides]

I won't fly United anymore. Not AA either now.

[@ambassadoroftruth99]

Nu Skinner - you won't fly UA because a stewardess respectfully asked the guy 5-6 times to pls leave the plane. In the end she told him she's calling the airport authorities and he was still stubborn. The cops asked him politely and told him they will forcibly remove him and he still said no. They should have stuck an arm rest up his ass and made him crawl outta the plane while barking.

[@KainErrow]

Nu Skinner Just because it happened to you and deservedly so, doesn't mean it should happen to a human being.

[@N_Ides]

Ambassador of Truth The guy is a respectable customer not a terrorist or criminal suspect. The guy paid for a service. The airline accepted payment only to find out they screwed up. They decide to put the problem on him instead of solving it themselves. Why should he be forced off the plane, let alone be physically assaulted and battered?

[@joebrokenstrang7537]

As an international traveller you generally just accept and expect that, on domestic carriers in the United States, you're going to be treated like shit. Why it's a news story _now_ as opposed to any other time is a source of amusement really. You know what would be newsworthy? A story on a passenger flying coach from NYC to IAH via DFW & ATL with said passenger making the entire journey experiencing no rudeness from flight attendants, no drama with the TSA and no desire for Xanax. _That_ would be a 6 o'clock lead. Save the 'told you so' Cenk. It doesn't matter which domestic airline you fly. Once you get your ass on a QANTAS flying outta Tom Bradley, you'll automatically understand the difference.

[@Hepler-s2b]

At least they suspended him, but my heart is with this mother.

[@pulchritudohumana7563]

Hell yeah! This is what we need! People standing up for each other!

[@badgersathome]

Remember that the woman was in Mom mode. If her baby narrowly missed being hit, well, the protective instinct would have kicked in. That might be part of what drove her to go from "0 - 100" almost right away.

[@kalanaherath3076]

American airlines now, United airlines then, AMERICA UNITED!!!!

[@BrijanbMentalIron]

flight attendants need to be replaced every 10 years or so. nobody can act overly nice for 20 years straight without breaking down.

[@crimsonhalo13]

The first rule of Mile High Fight Club is YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT MILE HIGH FIGHT CLUB.

[@tonydmty1234567]

what is going on with world and why is there so much hate in this world

[@ZohmBe]

It's called government

[@charleskeener9451]

why hate each other when we are all Brothers and sisters from.ceation Adam and eve the first partner of this earth

[@haroldbahls5431]

And you are wondering why things are fucked up.

[@popecorkyxxiv2363]

I also work in customer service. Someone needs to teach this attendant about the concept of de-escalation. You are bad at your job sir, I hope you get fired.

[@turma8eac]

It did not show him assaulting or removing the babyIt showed an airline employee being harassed by a customer

[@1millionbit]

We MUST film all such incidents. ALWAYS.

[@westafricangooner9819]

Simple solution, in-flight cctv. If the airlines want to be fair, they can record everything. But they won't... Why is that?

[@westafricangooner9819]

Markus Brorson yup. But they won't. Which is weird.. I mean, every other 711 has security footage.. Why not freaking planes?

[@thedarkchild86]

Wow ..... that flight attendant was mighty tough with air marshals backing him up .....

[@fabriciolarios4969]

That would be a week ass fight. Prey mantis style slap fight.

[@laki74]

The airlines should start pumping laughing gas in the cabins. That would put everyone in a happy mood.

[@DomainOfCybersmith]

That passenger should have minded his own business.

[@sackeshi]

"Come on, Hit me!"I would have been like, okay! and knocked him out cold.

[@drakefaden1464]

That's it! I've had it with this goddamn violence on all these goddamn planes! ✈️ - Samuel L. Jackson

[@Fullylac3d]

And that's why I fly on Southwest Airlines. At least the flight attendants & pilots crack jokes during the entire flight and don't physically assault you.

[@gabeasher187]

The idea of hitting someone in the face with a stroller is nuts. Is this WWE?

[@kaylakthulhu8623]

Like seriously, in what job would someone be allowed to act like that??? He should have been escorted right off the plane

[@SMARTvoterWorld]

Didn't see what happened before. Some woman decides her stroller is allowed loose in the plane and it can't take off until they put it in the hold? Mr hero steps in because he's always looking to be the hero regardless of right or wrong.

[@constructivecritique4049]

"Come fight me! Come hit me, bro! Let me bang, bro!!! Let me bang!!!"

[@gabrielcostanzo9121]

Constructive Critique TUF lmao

[@constructivecritique4049]

Bingo.

[@youngn420]

This guy should be in jail for what he did.

[@CandieP]

It's 2017 and these stewardess and flight attendants has had Enough with us high paying consumers 👩🏽‍✈️. 2017 is the year of the friendly skies 😩😂

[@senorashish]

" Hey buddy!! I'm a pumped up father and husband!! I'm going to get involved in this situation!!!! I'm going to shout!! And if you do this to me -- and I know that you won't, but if you do -- I'm ready to fight!!!! My blood is pumping!! My fists are clenched!! I'm ready to throw down!!!! Oh, somebody plesee fight me, please, PLEASE!!!! Fight meeeeeeee!!!! " -- That random passenger who got up

[@senorashish]

Catastrophic Broccoli Standing up for someone is one thing. Trying to initiate a fight feeling that you're going to be attacked -- when you full well know you won't -- is another. Some people are just looking for a fight. We have to refrain from allowing the mentality of an un-chaperoned kid out with his friends for the first time to take over.

[@rammsteinrulz16]

Coming from a Canadian, I have been on so many flights and nothing like this shit EVER happens on a plane. WTF is wrong with you America?

[@rozozzy]

once again the pilot has no control. where was the marshal....now let's get TSA together!!lol

[@likelight2flies]

I guess he failed the police exam.

[@Nik.No.K]

I work at rite aid. I'll tell you what, if I hit a customer in the face I'd be fucking fired.

[@fredguy2]

Customer Service jobs suck so bad. It breaks people. So a flight attendant is broken inside flying in a tube with 100 other angry frustrated people.

[@timothythomas7445]

The staff member was wrong, it's his job to maintain customer care. Needs retraining.

[@rastus338]

You should always do as the flight attendant asks....and he clearly said, *"hit me!"*

[@Onodera1980]

That passenger is not sticking up for her correctly. He actually threatened the FA.

[@Onodera1980]

Furthermore, the lady and her children were not hit by anything, according to her attorney.

[@Rhamni88]

The other passengers are supposedly entirely on the flight attendant's side. She pushed him while he was holding it, and when he lost his balance she got knocked on the head. But hey, keep circlejerking.

[@djackson006]

Note how the attendant has to push past the baby in order to confront the passenger.

[@MrGnidlih]

These flights seems worse than prisoner transports.

[@Escape0900]

was it better than a train wreck, yes. it was just a seventeen car pileup. best quote.

[@thomassharp2719]

That fired flight attendant is now working for Imelda Marcos Airways.

[@Altorin]

Crazy gonna be crazy. AA at least was like (on the surface at least) "oh shit at least we can agree that empathy is important and that wasn't an example of it." United's response to something much worse was basically to self immolate

[@crue3139]

there is a longer version of this video that shows the woman passenger crying asking for her stroller back. The woman has two children with her, she is holding one and the other is in a car seat.

[@jnm2088]

Accounts where saying that she flat out refused to leave the stroller and got heated because of that. Everyone will children will tell you that 99.99% strollers are gate checked

[@marlboro1771]

Seems you guys cut out the part where the passenger threaten the flight attendant before he responded.

[@mintjulip4332]

I hear the decades-old American Airlines tune. 'We're American Airlines, doing what we do best.' Yes, they'll beat you down because they're thugs. LOL!

[@NoobKnife_]

United airlines? Lmao

[@dwaynec7990]

of course watching the end of an incident on tape always tells the whole story.

[@BeSkeptical851]

We also have to realize that after the United fiasco, there will be plenty of opportunistic people just itching to have an "incident" happen to them with these airlines hoping for a payday.

[@Goucho1uk]

Are there not cameras at either end of the aircraft recording 24/7?? What a simple thing to have an all aircraft as it would serve to protect passengers/staff etc plus maybe provide evidence for incidents/accidents.

[@TahRahJoh]

i remember once when i was new a customer went off on me for not giving her a item for a price she wanted. my manager pulled up like "what are you doing??" and i was the bad guy. im not taking sides like most people.

[@ttdenadaabba2149]

more and more passengers need to let these Air Lines know that is because of us but they are successful.

[@RubberusDuckus]

Everyone is trying to mirror Spirit Airlines, where they believe customer service takes a back seat to lowering ticket prices.

[@Mrbb33399]

I was on a United Airlines flight a few years back during the holidays There was strong turbalance, cramped seating and frightened passengers displaying their concerns for safety. the flight attendant " calmed" the passengers down by screaming " sit down and shut up!" She was such a " sweetheart" 😠. I never flew that Airlines again. American airlines is just as bad
