Can't say I haven't felt the same rage before trying to get out of a parking lot.

If it's between him and a DEI hire I would pick him. He hasn't crashed a plane before.

So much for the friendly skies.

Ever seen 'falling down'? Great movie until the end

If I had to deal with airline passengers on a daily basis, I'd probably go a little crazy too.

Seems like a pilot that would get me to Denver on time.

It'd be interesting to know how many dozens of times he's had to sit waiting for the gate arm to open, and how many times the airport folks were notified about it not working properly, only to do basically nothing to resolve the issue.

Reasonable people don't generally go to these extremes without being provoked over time.

Everybody acts like what he did was incredibly harmful, but ultimately he just broke a wooden gate arm. It's easily replaced. Maybe now, though, they'll actually fix the reason the damn thing wasn't working properly.

I actually have less of an issue with him chopping down the gate arm as tussling with the employee who confronted him afterward.

How good a pilot is he? Otherwise, a I don't really care. My requirements of any pilot on a plane I fly on? That they are a good pilot and that they knows how to get the plane to where it's going and landed safely. And that they can handle problems. Preferably like the captain who landed that plane on the Hudson.

Apparently there was an ongoing issue with employees not being given the right permits or something to get out of the lot and it routinely backed up.

Well, remember the unstable guy who locked his captain out of the cockpit and ran his plane and passengers into the side of a mountain a few years ago? Or MH370? Might want to update your requirements to WANTING to land the plane safely.

I'm on the pilots side- we need more axes taken to bureaucratic crap that doesn't get fixed.

From all accounts, he's never done something like this in the sky.

Jeez. How many times is he going to hit that door before it gives?

I don't know, but I think I would take my chances with him over the pilot I saw that could not enter four numbers on the keypad door lock in Norfolk. He tried six or seven times before he gained entry. I think he was drunk. But not our pilot at least!

I think that's the reason why you see a flight attendant go in the cockpit whenever one of the pilots step out to take a piss. Not that most flight attendants would be able to stop a deranged pilot from doing anything.

He didn't need an ax.

Thanks! Doesn't surprise me at all. Problems come up and nobody takes care of them because the people who can fix it aren't really affected by it. Then this happens and everybody's thinking the pilot is a nutcase. Not me.

I'm sure stuff like this has happened more than you'd think over the years, but everything's skylined right now due to so many passengers acting like idots in the aircraft.

I'll bet they fix the parking issue after this!!

If you just read the article headline, it makes it seem like the used an ax to attack someone else.

Sensational journalism sucks

That's an FAA regulation...

I heard on Rewatchables that Kubrick went through like 80 doors getting this scene right.

Even when on time in Denver, we usually sit there waiting for a gate.

Sure load his plane with democrats and let him have at it! Looks like has an axe to grind!

I understand that, but I don't think it was always the case.

Umm…do you know what demographic has crashed the most planes? And it's not even close…

Now do it per total flight hours by demographic....

Lies, damn lies and statistics for the win.
