Pilots and flight attendants reveal the most shocking reasons they’ve had to kick passengers off a plane – from drunk ‘a**holes’ ABUSING staff to a man who was watching PORN next to ‘a young lady’

Airplane pilots have revealed the most shocking reasons they have had to kick passengers off a plane.  

The discussion was sparked on Reddit‘s thread simply titled Flying as one user asked crew members: ‘Have you ever kicked off a passenger from your flight?’ 

He explained: ‘This morning I got into a sinking hole of videos on YouTube of passengers complaining for being kicked of for numerous reasons.’ 

And, sure enough, the post was soon flooded with staggering tales involving drunken ‘a**holes’ and passengers watching porn.

In the original post, which has recently resurfaced, the user asked: ‘I was wondering if any of you ever kicked off passengers and why? And have you ever got in trouble for it?’

It was swamped with comments with most sharing that drunk passengers were the top reason.

One person wrote: ‘Yes. I have kicked a few off over the years. Mostly for being intoxicated before boarding. 

‘Removing a passenger is something that you don’t take lightly, as you know it will end up being a story. 

‘Make sure you follow all the company procedures, and there is nothing they can say or do to you.’

Another commented: ‘Yes. This morning. Took too many pills and too much drink. Could barely walk – no idea how they got past the gate agent. 

‘Off-loaded them and had to wait a while to get their bags. Took a 64-minute delay because of it.’

A third person added: ‘Flight attendant here, but I’ve had people removed for intoxication, assault, failure to comply with crew members’ directions, sick passengers, etc. 

‘Pilots don’t really have to deal with the passengers during the flight, but we do, so it’s better to remove people if we think they will cause more trouble in the air.’ 

Someone else wrote: ‘Three things get worse with altitude. Attitudes, a**holes, and alcoholics. Best to leave them on the ground.’ 

Elsewhere, another shockingly dished: ‘Guy w**king under a blanket watching porn on his phone. Made the young lady sitting next to him a little uncomfortable. Looked very shocked the coppers came to relocate him to a better w**king place.

‘By the way, I wouldn’t use the airline blankets.’

Another added: ‘Yes – twice in 15 years. One was a very, very aggressive Dutch guy, the other was a very, very, very, drugged guy that was so far gone he couldn’t even make it into his seat without causing a scene.’

One shared: ‘Oh yeah – drunk lady that punched the gate agent, then decided flashing me would get her a seat on the plane. 

‘Drunk pregnant lady pouring herself her own wine.

‘Guy who brought his own mixed drinks, and was warned while boarding, and acted compliant until we pushed back. 

‘He then poured himself another drink and taunted the flight attendant saying she couldn’t stop him now.

‘Guy smoking weed in the bathroom mid-flight and setting off the lavatory smoke alarms. We had law enforcement meet us at the gate.

‘All decisions supported by the rest of the crew and the airline. No, I do not fly for Spirit.’ 

But the revelations did not stop there. 

One person wrote: ‘My most recent off-loaded passenger involved someone who forced a fire escape door in the terminal to gain access to our aircraft.

‘The passenger in question arrived late at the gate after the gate agents had closed the flight, and were no longer present at the gate. 

‘We were about to close doors when the cabin manager asked why a passenger had boarded after boarding was complete.

‘After a little digging, it was [discovered that] he had forced the fire escape, gained access to the apron, and thus our aircraft, without being checked in properly. 

‘Rules and airport security laws were broken in the process.  

‘The police were called to get him off the aircraft, and last I know, he was actually arrested.’
