after a disgruntled passenger bit a flight attendant on his shoulder — ripping off part of his shirt in the process

That looked to me like it was the first officer and she ripped the epaulet flap off his shirt. I really hope she enjoys her lifetime subscription the No Fly List newsletter.

Wait… pretty sure I’ve seen this movie.

Well, it’s United, so maybe they’ve started pumping Pax through the ventilation system?

@Carla_Sinclair

passengers had to wait 3 1/2 hours before another flight crew arrived to resume their flight.

Were they at least provided with the problem passenger to keep them entertained during the wait?

I suspect that 3.5 hours of “amplified tarmac disapprobation” could significantly reduce recidivism vs. traditional sanctions alone.

Pretty sure that movie, about a hellspawn demon literally turning a young girl’s life upside down, was pretty tame compared to a biting Karen on a plane.

Is it optimistic or pessimistic that I feel a zombie outbreak might not be the worst thing that happens in 2024.

Wait- I was sure the zombie outbreak was going to start in-
