The new airline thread

Exactly!  Isn’t 70 kts just about normal taxi speed for SWA?

I would love to hear the crew's side of this story. Seems crazy for the crew to behave that way.

Most definitely, but I loved the headline, the entire article, really.

Didn't see any link, but it very well could have been the first class bathroom next to the cockpit.  Can't do a crew changeover with someone in that bathroom so if a dude was hanging out in there for an extended period of time, that can mess up the FAA required crew rest breaks for an augmented flight.

Tulum to Houston. Not sure if in flight or on the ground. But definitely a narrowbody.

 

“The pilot became visibly enraged, broke the lock on the door and forced the bathroom door open pulling the passenger out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles…”

Interesting.  A pilot has no business being in the back of the plane interacting with passengers once boarding is complete.  Can only lead to trouble.  Obviously taking this with a huge grain of salt as the lock doesn't need to be broken for the door to be opened.  Airplane bathroom door locks make home bathroom privacy locks look secure.

I'd even strike "once boarding is complete." Lots of problems happen during boarding and we have people for that, too. Some CAs feel the need to make a PA directly to the passengers in pursuit of some nebulous passenger satisfaction metric. Nah. Best case you get some attaboys on X. Worst case you say "Ladies and Gentlemen" and you lose your job for a while.
