A Delta Airlines flight attendant on Thursday night smashed a wine bottle over the head of a male passenger who lunged for an exit door and assaulted a flight attendant and fellow passenger during a Beijing-bound flight from Seattle, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday by prosecutors in Washington State.

Joseph Daniel Hudek IV, 23, of Tampa, Florida, appeared in U.S. District Court on Friday. He did not speak during the hearing. His attorney, Robert Flennaugh II, declined to comment, according to The AP.

...

According to one flight attendant cited in the complaint, "Hudek did not seem impacted by the breaking of a full liter red wine bottle over his head, and instead shouted, 'Do you know who I am?' or something to that extent."

Dude was flying for free in first class and tries the "Do you know who I am card".

Hudek III, presumably his dad, is in his mid/upper 50s and appears to live in a standard middle class neighborhood. Jr/II or whatever would seem too old to be a honcho at Delta. So who is Hudek?

From the flight track, it looks like the pilot initially headed for Vancouver, but switched to Seattle when they got things under control.

Misleading headline — it makes the Delta flight attendant seem guilty of beating up ordinary passengers (and, of course, that was the intent of the headline).

It should have read: Heroic Delta Flight Attendant Puts Herself in Harms Way to Prevent Violent Passenger from Killing Everyone.

He will still be young enough to re-produce when he gets out of prison.

Misleading headline

Every facet of the News Media needs an enema.

Hey! I was only trying to open the exit in mid-flight and kill everyone. So what was the bitch’s problem? A little decompression never hurt anyone. She ruined my spiffy suit and gave me a booboo!

Decorum and protocol demand a bottle of wine be allowed to breathe before serving, but in this case I’ll let it slide.

Where did this say he was flying first class or that he got a free ticket?

Way more to this than just a bottle over the head. That didn’t even slow the guy down.
