It's the captain's plane. He should be able to remove you for whatever reason he feels necessary.

This is true. If the captain even has a hint this might cause trouble once you're in the air, he has the right to do as he sees fit.

Then he needs to keep all screaming kids off the plane.

So Jane's husband, Dick, is not vulgar either I guess!

OP I suggest you frame the discussion in your OP or Staff will take down your post.

You can't do tiny url on TexAgs but it definitely had the feel of the power trippy flight attendant era during mid-late Covid.

Although, when the Flight Attendant showed up for the conversation, she actually seemed pretty chill.

I did laugh at the pilot (who was probably a BQ) saying that they/them were Ultra MAGA (might be true).

Is the pilot a dude?

He's a dude with fingernails, earings, and makeup who's clearly trying to be a woman.

The guy shouldn't have worn a hat with a vulgar word on it, but no doubt this crew is eaten up with TDS.


I would have serious concerns about flying on a plane captained by a Pilot with mental health issues. There are multiple cases of these people crashing planes on purpose taking everyone out with them

The guy was looking for a confrontation with that hat. Liberals are insane. You wear something like that and you could be assaulted.

Having said that, hopefully he sues Delta and gets paid.

He won't get paid squat, unless it's go away money. The pilot has final say on who is allowed to fly. Making someone remove a hat the pilot deems offensive is within their wheelhouse.

Flying is not a right and companies can put all sorts of rules to use their business. I would bet there are all sort of rules on the purchase of a ticket that a customer agrees to that he is aware.



Absolutely right. Now the basis of him having to remove the hat was because another customer requested it. The stewardess asked the man to remove his hat based on another customer opinion and the way Delta decision makers made it sound is that a customer request takes priority for reasons of safety.

Bet your bottom donkey dollar that when I am walking down that isle, I have a problem with everything people are wearing and that flight isn't moving until everyone is naked. I mean since Delta is taking requests on removing clothing items based on requests....... That is how laughable the Delta argument is. "So you'll take that person's request serious and act on it, but not mine?" Racism/Ideololgicalism

I don't disagree with that statement. What I DO disagree with is the captain's rationale with "safety" in his explanation to the passenger.

He essentially states that if the passenger does not comply with the instructions of the flight attendant, he is a risk and subject to removal. BUT...

How many times have we all seen passengers be told to put their phones on airplane mode and ignore that instruction? How many times have we seen passengers unbuckle their seat belts when the seatbelt light is illuminated? Both of those actions, which happen daily, have a greater impact on safety than a hat being worn at the gate.

Furthermore, I've NEVER seen a person in uniform asked to remove their hat. I've seen caps, toboggans, and many other pieces of headwear being worn throughout the flight without issue, INCLUDING BLM hats.

The direction from the flight attendant was political in nature, and that it the core issue that is being danced around.

So if the pilot is offended by people wearing skirts, he can kick them off the plane?

There was a guy at IAH on Monday in Terminal E, older white dude, with a "F (spelled out) Israel tank top on, walking all slow and big daring someone to say something…. I wonder if he got on his flight like that.

No, but you're making an obtuse case, and you know that. Every airline has a contract of carriage that applies to you when you buy a ticket, and nearly every one of them has a clause about lewd, obscene, or patently offensive behavior.

It's not obtuse at all. You clearly stated that its pilot discretion. So it's not pilot discretion or is it?

Libs believe Trump is a fascist, literally the second coming of Hitler. Thus, if I wear a shirt with a NAZI symbol on it, that is no different than wearing a hat with MAGA on it. Per you, that is grounds for removal. Thanks for educating us.

The real story here is what kind of political dork purchases and wears in public a "Build back better my ass" hat?

Good Lord. Are we really trying to argue whether some moron got kicked off a plane for refusing to take off his hat with ass written on it.

1. Don't be asshat and try to wear a hat on a plane that says ass on it.
2. Obey flight attendant and captain instructions.
3. Airplanes are not free speech, "Im sorry, I thought this was America" zones. The pilot is the law.
4. Literally do anyone of the three above and you get to your destination.

What an idiot.

OK, let me get your position straight here. If I wear a hat with a swastika on it, and the pilot chose to remove me for it, would that be legit per the contract?

I propose you put this to the test. Next flight wear your MAGA shirt on the plane, 99.9% sure you'll be fine. If not raise hell.

In the return trip wear a nazi symbol shirt. Please film and report back to TexAgs your experience.

Not everything is conspiracy against the right. Sometimes dumasses just need to be reminded they're dumbasses.

If he feels like you're causing a disturbance on his flight. Of course. This isn't hard.

I would think that would fall under "patently offensive behavior", so yes. But that would be up to each airline to determine what "patently offensive behavior" is.

So the contract provision is completely arbitrary. Thus, a pilot could remove someone for a MAGA hat and that would be OK. You are bending yourself into a pretzel here to justify what you prefer.

That position is weapons grade dumb. If you would think about it for just a tiny bit, you'd understand that. But perhaps not.

There's only one weapons grade stupid argument here, and it's not mine.

A pilot has the authority to remove any passenger from a plane if they pose a safety risk, including for disruptive behavior, non-compliance with safety instructions, or any action deemed a threat to the flight's safety. This broad authority, often referred to as "permissive refusal" under Section 44902(b) of the FAA regulations, ensures the pilot maintains the final say over the safe operation of the aircraft.

Non-Compliance: Failure to follow the instructions of flight attendants or the pilot, especially regarding safety procedures


Sir…. We've received some complaints that your hat is offensive, please remove it and place within your carry-on or in the overhead bin so we can take off.

Of course, right away.

Or…….

I'm sorry, I thought this was America and I don't have to do *****

Okay cool, get off my plane.

LOL. Only in the mind of a lib is the act of wearing a MAGA hat a safety issue on a plane! That section clearly doesn't apply to the passive act of boarding the plane with clothes someone finds offensive.

This is laughable:

Of course it's arbitrary. It's written that way on purpose. For some reason, you think you have some right for people not to be offended by certain things. It could be a MAGA hat or a "Tuck Frump" t-shirt. Maybe they're snowflakes, but the pilot has the final say, and that may vary from flight to flight. That just falls into the "life isn't fair" category.
