Delta pilot is slammed as a 'narcissistic dictator' after issuing a VERY strict list of rules to plane passengers in lengthy speech - while bizarrely referring to himself as the 'servant leader'

A Delta pilot has gone viral after he delivered a wild speech detailing the incredibly strict 'rules' that he requires passengers to follow during a flight - while referring to himself as a 'servant leader.'

The man, whose identity is not known, sparked fierce backlash after a video of him sharing the vast list of regulations that he 'needed everyone' on the aircraft 'to obey' surfaced on Instagram.

In the clip, the pilot could be seen relaying his orders to the travelers over the plane's intercom system.

He began by describing himself as the 'servant leader' and 'the captain of the ship.'

I think his speech would have had more impact if he had delivered it in the style of Gunnery Sgt. Emil Foley. Not "I need" but "You will!"

Maybe I’ve missed something.

He is the commander of the ship and he is absolutely in control of everything that happens on his plane.

If the problem is with identifying himself as “servant leader” then I still see no trouble.
That’s an excellent aspiration for any leader.

If I missing something, please let me know.

“’This captain abused his power. He treated passengers like kindergarteners.”

Some passengers act like kindergartners. How did he abuse his power? His instructions were reasonable and if obeyed would be in the best interests of the passengers.

Some might think it is gangsta rule in the air but it’s not.

Why are stewardesses now called “flight attendants”? “Steward” and “stewardess” connote care and responsibility, while “flight attendant” has the same ring to it as “gas station attendant.”

What’s the problem? These requests were simple and reasonable.

“’I need everyone to obey the seatbelt sign during the flight for your safety and the safety of everyone around you,’ he continued.

‘I need everyone to obey the commands and the instructions of my flight attendants. And lastly, I ask that we all be respectful of one another.’

He concluded with, ‘Are there any questions?’”

WILD! What a tyrant!
Sounds like the female who wrote this story needs to buy a sense of humor.

I would have asked him if he performed marriages on the flight.

There are Federal laws forbidding smoking on a US aircraft. There are Federal laws requiring passengers to obey crew instructions like "fasten your seat belt".

No mention of "servant leaders" however.

The "servant leader" in this story should have instructed the passengers to refer to the stewardesses as his "handmaidens."

And the stewards could have been his "vassals."

I would have asked him if economy class passengers were allowed to visit the Promenade deck.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. Nut up, snowflakes or walk.
