“guilted”. . .I mean “guilted”

But you knew that.

"Actually when I read this article I pictured my husband on this flight and without a doubt he would have been popping the meal into the microwave for the little girl when he witnessed the flight attendant deny it several times. "

So...your husband, after hearing the flight attendant say they couldn't spare a first class meal, would have barged into an area of the plane where he had no business, and taken the meal on his own? Really?

Then he'd have been tossed off, too, and no doubt you'd be complaining about the unfairness of it all.

I have trouble believing they have just “enough” and don’t bring an extra to feed the crew and or spillage, that alone could have fed this teen. Freeper-airline staff more familiar with logistics in the cabin area, feel free to inform us...

Then that jackwagon would have rightfully been taken down and restrained.

One does NOT attempt to take over any aspect of an aircraft in flight.

I'd kick him in the head, too.. just for being a dumbass.

That was kinda my thought... fortunately your eloquence renders my pitiable reply unnecessary.

They bring enough for First Class and the aircrew.

I’m not airline staff ... just an entirely too frequent flyer.

They frequently run out of food.

I’m not surprised.

Unused meals cost money.

Yeah no big deal when a plane loaded with people makes an unscheduled landing due to a hungry crying 15 yr old girl and it is boarded with paramedics and police. I am sure the FFA thinks this is just business as usual. Maybe the pilot needs to take charge of the situation rather than let an irritated male flight attendant who wants to hoard 1st class meals cry wolf

Don't let them fool you, I got into the cargo hold of a Southwest flight between Albuquerque and Salt Lake City, and this is what I found.

[NorthMountain]

Dangit!

You weren’t supposed to tell!!!

It is not unsafe to make an unscheduled landing. Your post was clearly saying it was unsafe to do so. I stated that you are wrong on that point. Landing is a landing is a landing. . unless you are missing an engine or have flight control issues. In those cases, it is a big deal and risk is elevated.

No big deal, safety-wise, when all systems are operating normally.

It is a big deal administratively (not affecting safety which was the point of your post).

The PIC acted correctly and did not, as you stated, place the aircraft in any danger by doing so.

I love cheese.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The also had a buffet. I always knew the Southwest peanut thing was nothing but a thinly veiled eugenics project to wipe out all the genetically flawed peanut allergy children and improve the human race.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It was guarded by a moose.

[trisham]

I have a sister.

[NorthMountain]

All your cheese

are belong to us.

Oh, and reports of an unruly passenger the aircrew will remain in the cockpit as they have protocols to ensure the aircrew are not placed into a potentially violent situation. The pilot is not a police officer so he has no business placing himself in the middle of a situation, to mediate a situation, that is not his job. His job is to fly the jet. Not play cop. Fly the jet and let the authorities figure out what happened and why.

Ignore my post where I asked for your time and type ratings as it is clear you don't have any so your comments regarding the PIC actions are uninformed.

Shut up!
My child will scratch your sister if she doesn’t get a pizza!
and will TAKE THIS PLANE DOWN!
She’s got a boxcutter! You hear me?
HOT Pizza! Or a Schlotzki’s or something!
You hear me?

[trisham]

I hear you, dear. :)
