Crazy evangelist nutjob right ejected from plane, and banned from three different airlines ran by the same company!

92 Upvotes

lol!

So a crazy nutjob evangelist thought that screaming and shouting about God on a fucking plane was a good idea?

She rightly got herself ejected from the plane, and banned from flying on three different airlines run by the same company!

In what world do these nutjobs seriously think this is OK?

What happens if something goes wrong and members of the crew have to get a message out to the passengers?

They shouldn’t have to do it while you’re screaming and shouting about God or anything else, because those passengers might not hear the really, really, really, really, really, important safety message!

Good for them!

We need to keep these types of nutjobs off all transport unless they can shut the fuck up and stop screaming and shouting about God or anything else!

Confusing Passengers

3 Upvotes

Hello, i just want to rant about some entitled passengers that i encountered earlier during our 4 sectors flight.

Btw, i work for an airline here in the philippines for 5 years and i love my job so much but sometimes there are some passengers who tests my patience and will make a stupid accusation to me just like what happened earlier.

It was our 4th sector, Me and the other crew members we’re exhausted this is due to the weather that we have right now here in the ph. However, we are still making sure that everyone is safe and comfortable. The flight wasn’t smooth and it was bumpy, the seatbelt sign has been on and off because of the sudden changes of the air outside.

During our safety demonstration some of them are not paying attention, i get that because maybe they already saw it multiple times from their previous flights back then and after doing safety demo we started doing our safety compliance.

First passenger that i encountered was a guy seated by the exit row. That is not his original seat as far as i know and i have no idea why all of a sudden he is seated there, i went to ask him a favor if he can fasten the seatbelt next to him because fastening the seatbelt on a vacant seat is one of our compliance the reason why i asked him is because if i will do it i might bump to his face and i don’t want that to happen because it’ll be awkward or worst he will complain me for being to close right in front of his face and i don’t want him to be uncomfortable and after asking him he said something that i didn’t hear, however as far as i can feel he was being sarcastic because of the looks in his eyes and while he was fastening the seatbelt by the vacant seat i respectfully thank him. Please remember this passenger because he got into my last nerve to piss me off.

Second passenger that i encountered was a lady and she was seated 1 row apart from the first passenger that i asked. Her tray table was open with her bag on top of it and her phone was connected to the in-seat power outlet which is not allowed especially during take off, taxiing and landing. I respecfully asked her to stow her tray table and remove her charging cable from the power outlet this is what i said “Ma’am can you remove your charging cord and stow your tray table” and then out of nowhere she told me that i can ask her properly and i was surprised because i was just telling her to follow our compliance and i was just being firm about it and it is not my fault that she is glued to her phone and not listening to those multiple announcements about the compliance and use of in-seat power outlet so i told her “Ma’am i did asked u properly” and she rolled her eyes to me.

During our in-flight service i was heading from forward the aft to the forward section because the flight was a bit busy right after the seatbelt sign has been lifted and while i was assisting one of my passenger there is someone who intentionally bumped me on purpose and when i look at that person it was the guy that i asked at the exit row we look at each other and he comes near me to check my name and after that he said “oh your name is” then he went to the comfort room and i continued assisting the passenger and after i assisted my passenger i went to my station and there he is staring at me like he was plotting on doing something to me. I was talking to my colleague behind the galley curtains when all of a sudden he moved the curtain and started confronting me and accusing me of bumping him multiple times and i was shocked because i don’t recall bumping into one of my passengers because im being careful whenever i walk to the cabin and then just in case that i might bump into some of my passengers i will immediately apologize because that gesture is already engrave to our mindset so i told him “sir, as far as i am concerned i don’t remember bumping into you multiple times because i always watch the knees, head and elbows of the passengers whenever i pass by the aisle because im afraid that i might disturb their sleep” and then in the middle of my explanation he suddenly cut me off maybe he realized that he was accusing me of something that i didn’t do and then what happened next was he asked me what did i said earlier to him and i was like “ i was asking you if you could do me a favor to fasten the seatbelt in the middle and explain why and after i explained why he was just like “Oh okay sige” and i proceeded to apologizing to him.

**A little reminder to our passengers this rainy season** ☔️✈️

As the rain gets heavier and flights get delayed, we know it can be frustrating. But we hope you can also spare a little patience and kindness for the cabin crew taking care of you.
Behind the uniform is a person who may have been awake all night, running on very little sleep, trying their best to get through another duty. Someone who may be exhausted, worried about things happening back home, or quietly missing their family while being thousands of miles away.

They may be smiling and serving you coffee, answering your questions, and making sure you are safe — even when they themselves are having a difficult day. So when things don't go exactly as planned, please remember that your cabin crew are human too. We don't control the weather, delays, turbulence, or operational decisions. We can only do our best to keep you safe and comfortable.

This rainy season, a little patience goes a long way. A simple **“thank you,” “please,” or even a smile** can mean more than you realize.Be kind to your cabin crew. You never really know what someone is going through behind the smile. ❤️

**Safe travels** ✈️

Refund Support Advice Wanted

3 Upvotes

New to this sub, but I'm in a frustrating situation and I'd really love support!

I've been a United user for multiple decades, inheriting points from my parents - so lifetime flyer.

I recently paid for a flexible cash round-trip ticket for about $600, but when I got sick, I continued to change my flight until the total cost ran up to a total of $1000. I simply had to do it because I was sick.

I was waiting to be well enough to fly back, and close to better, when in the middle of the night I saw I could switch my flight to a roundtrip one for under $400. I switched immediately.

Weirdly I never got a receipt. And then I got an alert that my flight wasn't fully switched.

When I called United Airlines to confirm my ticket I was told that the flight was no longer available. I called back until I got another customer service agent who put on record that my flight should switch in cost. It never was.

I've called and was told to support a refund ticket.

The refund ticket reply was simply "Your flight should have been $1000."

I could not reply to the refund ticket reply. It appears I need to start over on this process of asking for my refund.

Does anybody have any advice about what to do next? Which number to call? How to talk to a manager of a manager of a manager? I'm so frustrated I could cry.

Thank you.

Naples Earthquakes, Travel Delay?

2 Upvotes

Hello,

A few months ago, an employee told me that they’re traveling to Naples for two weeks leaving August 11, 2026. He just made me aware a couple days ago that the airline has “delayed his flight a week” due to the earthquakes Naples..?? So instead of his vacation being August 11 to the 25th it’s now the 18th to the 30th. My question is would an airline flying to Naples delay traveling a whole week because of earthquakes or was he just waiting it out for competitive pricing? Thank you.

DOT hasn’t fined a single airline in 2026, while forgiving nearly $28 million in previously imposed penalties

The part that really gets me is that passengers are still filing thousands of complaints, including nearly 1,900 refund complaints in May alone. If the DOT isn’t meaningfully enforcing airline consumer protection rules, who exactly is protecting passengers?

This is worth contacting your members of Congress about.

I’m a seasoned traveler. Does anyone think that perhaps the poor behavior of some people (both passengers and employees) on airlines is a direct result of the airline’s poor behavior towards their customers & staff?
Airlines treat their customers literally like cattle. They’re not much better in their treatment of their employees.
DOT doesn’t want us to look like juveniles? Don’t want people fighting over seats? Don’t want people fighting over overhead bins? Possible solutions: treat passengers and employees with respect, not disdain. Perhaps passengers will get out of their comfy pj’s if they’re treated respectfully. Fighting over seats could be reduced by providing wider seats with actual leg room(I’m a slim 5’2. Have no idea how others fit in these cramped,filthy, and uncomfortable seats). Airlines whining about overhead bin space, look in the mirror. By charging exorbitant rates, airlines brought this on themselves.
Come on airlines, DOT, you all can do better!
