- quietsegfault 7mo agoNO TICKET
- lelanthran 7mo agoI wonder how many people got this reference. Anyway, for those who did not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCZ86O3PO-U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCZ86O3PO-U
- shagie 7mo agoCould have also gone for Dogma (which of course references that clip) https://youtu.be/PpckOsftaP4?si=DDlDY3ZK7FoUcKrn&t=41 https://youtu.be/PpckOsftaP4?si=DDlDY3ZK7FoUcKrn&t=41
- cobbzilla 7mo agoHave you ever tried to sleep while the person next to you watches a movie at full volume?

- nxpnsv 7mo agoThat's too harsh, a regular murder would suffice.
- sharkweek 7mo agoJust put them in row 24 on a Boeing 737 max and let the problem take care of itself.
- lelanthran 7mo ago> That's too harsh, a regular murder would suffice. Correct. Kicking someone off during a flight and not giving them a parachute counts as a regular murder...

- halapro 7mo agoJust open the window
- anigbrowl 7mo agoIt's not murder if they're guilty. Those planes come with doors for a reason.

- saint11 7mo agoBut kicking someone off mid-flight at high altitude is still a bit harsh. I hope they give them parachutes at least.
- gumby271 7mo agoBet it won't happen twice though.
- HPsquared 7mo agoOnly if they paid extra at check-in.
- doubled112 7mo agoAnd you specifically have to request it. It isn’t a normal option during purchase.
- vel0city 7mo agoNah, with how ticketing is these days they'll bug you a dozen times to choose between the $50 basic economy disaster package that only has the mask and 50% airflow or the full package for $100 that includes another 25% airflow and a flotation device. Business execute gets you the parachute, a private life raft, and a few days of MREs for $250.
- MPSimmons 7mo ago> give them parachutes at least the first time
- dguest 7mo agoFUN FACT: Aviation rules require that any plane carrying a parachute must have at least one for every person on board. Hopefully the reason is obvious. Now given that, do you really want to pay the extra cost of flying with 300 parachutes just so mr-full-volume-phone can have one?
- throwaway894345 7mo agoSeems like this flew right over a few heads.

- Hamuko 7mo agoHarsh, but fair.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 7mo agoNow explain why it wouldn’t also be fair to kick people off that were loudly emitting disgusting flatulence. Is it because they “might” not have control over it? Can I not claim I also “might” not have the control over my impulsive desire to listen to music or that I can’t use headphones for a medical issue? I mean such a thing I would say equally detracts from the flying experience, so why not also kick those people off? Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted, this is a legitimate question. I genuinely want to hear the justification.
- DaSHacka 7mo agoYou'd have a more convincing argument if you argued for a passenger with Tourette's or something. Bodily functions are obviously different from watching a movie at full volume, because there's never a situation where you would be involuntarily blasting the audio of your show or whatever to the whole plane.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 7mo agoOkay, Tourette’s then. Should we kick people off for Tourette’s? Your comment also presupposes two things: that flatulence is always involuntary and blasting music isn’t. Let’s say I have a form of Tourette’s that forces me to involuntarily blast noise and music and I have medical papers to prove it. Is it okay then? I would absolutely support it if you could demonstrate that those two things are actually true. My point is: Who gets to decide what’s legitimately an involuntary medical issue and what isn’t, and where is the line that demarcates it? And what is the point of this exercise? It’s to prevent people from forcing everyone else to have a worse experience for their own personal gain, which flatulence is a form of that you could argue, so why is blasting music fundamentally different?
- recursive 7mo ago
- RobotToaster 7mo agoNot harsh enough. They belong in the special level of hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theatre.
- rendaw 7mo agoFor all siblings, I think parent was suggesting "while in flight". i.e. dropping them from 30k feet. Hence harsh...
