There's so much about that story that just seems too prototypical Ugly American/Texan/Drunk Karen/etc. no matter where they're from. I'm glad he spoke up. That crap won't stop unless people do so. Thanks for the pointer. Cheers, Scott.

People from the south are too damn kind and they want to be judged kind and they aren't typically overt racists, they're just dealing with society as they think it works. Except the KKK bastards of course. I'm just talking about the default polite society. The guys from the north are the seriously overt racists, they recognize what they were doing and they just don't care. I'm talking as the Jew that got to hear everything they said by default when they didn't realize I wasn't really a white guy. So don't focus on the airport of source please.

I guess I was reminded of taking a Southwest flight from Austin to DC many years ago, in W's time. Sen. Cornyn was a few rows ahead of us in the wing exit row (more legroom). Nobody made a fuss or anything. Until we landed, and then some jackass made the point of loudly thanking the good senator for "keeping us safe" and trying to start some applause (and getting a few to participate, while the rest of us just wanted to get off the plane and get home). Yeah, he might not have been from Texas, either. I shouldn't assume. But it's so easy sometimes! ;-) Cheers, Scott.

If the cost of an airplane ticket had remained constant and a NY to LAX ticket cost over five grand with all other shorter flights being similarly priced, do you think you'd see the sort of behavior commercial flight crews have to put up with every flight? I don't. Pricing the Neanderthals out may be the only way to limit this nonsense. Median household income is around 70K. Half of households would have to make a significant effort to save up for a flight and I'd wager that after having done so they'd be more inclined to behave themselves. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

But the Trump election and 74 million voting for him again in 2020 has completely flipped my views. There is nothing noble about the American proletariat. Probably there never was, but clearly, today there isn't. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
