Delta's Turn in the media...kicking passenger off for using bathroom.

Oh, there's always more.

People are more than welcome to charter a private jet and do exactly whatever the hell they want to do, when they want to do it.

Easy there hoss. Flying private doesn't give passengers a green light to do anything they want. We brief our FA if anyone interferes with her duties or ignores her instructions, then the situation will be handled appropriately. If little Bieber sparked up a doobie on our jet, he'd be sitting in a FBO in rural Nebraska within 30 minutes.

Fortunately for us, 99% of our passengers are respectful and compliant. They seek us out for the convenience of leaving from XYZ airport at the time they wish, without the TSA lines, the hours of wasted time sitting at an airport and the comfort and privacy our product provides. However, if they get out of line or make demands that we are unwillingly/unable to comply with, they get dropped at the planned destination and will never fly with us again. Yes, we have a do not carry list. It's short, but our owners expect us to protect their investment as well as ensure our crews don't deal with any sort of abuse.

Now we may be a unicorn in the charter world, but our crews know that if a decision has to be made that presents an issue with paying passengers, the company will always support the decision of the crew. We know what we can and cannot do, so as long as we abide by common sense, regulations and policies set for us, there will never be an issue.

True that.

I propose we give the traveling public what they're asking for.

Utter anarchy.
Want to go pee whenever you want to go pee? Go ahead.
Want to stroll around going tai chi in the aisles when the seatbelt sign is on? Knock yourself out.
Won't exit the jet when instructed? Stay as long as you'd like an deal with the person who is supposed to be in the seat.
Want that first class seat? Go ahead and compete in feats of strength against the rightful owner. Winner take all, and that meal choice.

LETS DO THIS! WAAAOOO!

That's what air travel is like in China.

I don't know. The agent ran back to the gate, did something, and gave me a thumbs up.

They saved our CBA compliant bacon that week.

FIFY

That delay is going to go on for a while. Unless somebody goes all Weekend at Bernie's with the monkey.

Apparently several years ago we had that happen coming out of Pongo. These two guys discovered It was was way cheaper to buy a seat for their dead father than ship him back in cargo. I guess they made it all the way to the front galley before the FA started in on the dead parrot skit with them and they eventually got booted.

Liked for the dead parrot reference.
