  1. It appears that a couple passengers to this crazy out. It seems like the air line should give those citizens free air travel for life. Seems fair to me.

  2. What in THE Hell did he smoke before the plane took off?? 🤦🫤

    Drano? 😂🤦🤪
    🙃🤡🌎

    Who’s Baldizarre?? Is that what I hear 😂

  3. Everyone ignores him, then everyone’s a hero as soon as one person does something….

    Plane full of cowards

    1. He was just a loud mouthed Chad up until that point. On my last flight a man was pissed his drink order never arrived, should I have decked him?
