United Pilot Warns “Protect The Flight Deck At All Costs” As Passengers Tackle Drunk Man Before Landing

A United Airlines passenger on an Airbus short haul international flight to Houston was apparently drunk, arguing with the crew and his father. A flight attendant warns him that he will not fly United again and threatens him with wrist restraints. The captain then orders everyone seated: ““Protect the flight deck at all costs. Please protect yourself. Remain safe.” And then the rest of the flight takes him down. Things actually start off slowly, but the captain clearly sees where this is heading. Flight attendant: “You’re not behaving at all. I’m gonna call the captain. You’re not gonna fly United again, and we’re gonna put you in some [likely: wrist restraints].” Flight attendant: “All right, okay? So please behave. This is a matter of safety. You’ve been drinking. ..You’re an adult. Your father is here. Do you want to embarrass him even more? Behave.” Male voices: “You’re weak.” “No, you’re weak.” Passenger: “Okay,” then tells his father: “[Do as you will], Dad. Don’t be f$#%king weak. Do not bow down.” Captain over PA: “This is the captain. I need everybody in their seats at this time. We have an issue… Protect the flight deck at all costs. Please protect yourself. Remain safe. Remain seated. Thank you. Passenger: “Don’t start with that bulls$#t.” Here’s part two of the incident. Passengers surround the man while a flight attendant repeatedly orders him to sit. He struggles, and several adults pin him across the seats, controlling his head, torso, arms and legs. The group coordinates the restraint with variations of “you hold that,” “I’ve got it” and “I’ve got another one.” Several people repeatedly say, “Make sure he’s breathing” and the responding passengers reposition him and bring him more upright. He continues arguing and insulting them. @user6151920635483 Pt 2 @United Airlines @Grizzy #unitedairlines #houston #drunk #reels #crazy ♬ original sound – ninjap713 One commenter suggests witnessing the arrival, that the passenger “goes to jail” and that the father made his connection. Dad didn’t even stay in Houston with his incarcerated son!
