A Frontier Airlines flight was grounded this week when a passenger went on a profanity-laced outburst against a flight attendant, accusing her of bias and “triggering” her before calmly removing her from the plane.
The incident was filmed by another passenger, in which it is clearly seen that a woman began loudly cursing the crew member.
The passenger repeatedly claimed the flight attendant had “a problem with minorities” and said she expected “a little bit more kindness and respect.”
The outburst was initiated from a banal question that was “Are you from Florida?” which the passenger interrupted as disrespectful.
The flight attendant remained poised and confident throughout the exchange. She approached calmly and said, “I don’t know what you went through today,” noting firmly, “you are in control of your own actions.”
After the passenger continued his tirade of continuous shouting profanities in an area with children.
She instructed a colleague to call security and informed the passenger that she would be removed from the plane.
Another passenger on the plane raised his hand in a gesture of solidarity and supported the crew member’s handling of the situation.
The cabin erupted in cheers when it was announced that the disruptive woman would be taken off the plane.
Subsequently, the passenger was escorted from the plane by security.
Industry observers note that while incidents of passenger misconduct occur across all airlines, they are most frequently reported on ultra-low-cost carriers such as Frontier.
