Not a good look for United Airlines & I don't expect this to be the last story we get about this incident.

terrible story

But like many things involving flying, can we rethink the drink cart? Do we really need that to be pushed up and down the aisle mutliple times during a trip?

There has to be a better way...which also applies to many aspects of flying.

I don’t quite get this take? Seems like just a sad story all around.

Flight attendants have tough jobs, often dealing with annoying passengers. Did this one overreact? Probably. But I don’t think I’d consider it unhinged and self absorbed behavior.

You're right, accusing someone of assault and having the FBI greet them upon landing because they touched your arm sounds like completely reasonable, rational behavior. Definitely no main character energy here.

I'm taking Davis at his word. This overreaction is so bizarre I can only imagine a prior significant incident/relationship with that flight attendant that could cause such an overreaction.

Or he could just be a racist who was looking at any opportunity to go off. No deep analysis required.
If witnesses corroborate TD's version...

TD may be flying free on United for the rest of his life.

Sure. Famously, flight attendants have an easy job, no one ever misbehaves on a plane.

I agree. But now an overreaction is now lunatic and unhinged main character energy?

Southwest already found a solution. They take your drink order and bring it back on a tray. No cart involved.

Was this in first class?!

Yes. Shouting "dont hit me!" and alerting the FBI because someone touched your arm are the actions of a lunatic. You disagree, thats fine, but this ain't human calculus. The guy is a screwball.
I also wonder if you'd be so quick to dismiss this

If it was you they slapped the bracelets on.
If you actually read the story...  
widmerseyebrow : 7/17/2024 5:09 pm : link
...the FBI later profusely apologized to TD and offered to support him in any way possible. The flight attendant was suspended.

Does that sound like the flight attendant could still be in the right to you?
