If you are drunk on a plane you can fly and continue to be drunk. But if a crew member tells you to stop drinking, and you refuse, your'e getting thrown off. You didn't get thrown off for being drunk or drinking, you got thrown off for not obeying crew instruction.

If you are rude on a plane you can fly and continue to be rude. But if a crew member tells you to stop being rude, and you refuse, your'e getting thrown off. You didn't get thrown off for being rude, you got thrown off for not obeying crew instruction.

If you wear an offensive shirt you can fly and continue to be crass. But if a crew member tells you to turn it inside out, and you refuse, your'e getting thrown off. You didn't get thrown off for being crss, you got thrown off for not obeying crew instruction.

If you are watching porn on a plane you can fly and continue to watch porn. But if a crew member tells you to stop watching porn, and you refuse, your'e getting thrown off. You didn't get thrown off for watching porn, you got thrown off for not obeying crew instruction.

Make sense now?

This is patently false. He wore the hat on the plane and wasn't denied boarding or immediately kicked off. He was simply asked to store it. If he did so he's staying on the plane, even though he owned the hat, wore the hat, and held opinions supporting the hat. But he committed the cardinal sin of disobeying a crew member instruction. That will get you kicked off no matter what you do, period.

---

It as absolutely true. He was removed for wearing the hat. The was the basis for the instruction. Your argument is illogical nonsense.

In my Aggie/Longhorn example, it'd be the same thing.

Delta would certainly be within its rights to request that I remove it. I'd be within my rights to briefly point out how dumb that was, but in the end, I'd have to remove it or take another flight.

I'd also certainly be within my rights to complain to the company and ***** on social media about it and on Texags. If it went viral enough, that would be adequate PR punishment for Delta. It'd go up the chain of command at Delta and upper level management would sort it out.

Depends on if the crew gave him an instruction and he ignored it.

Ok. Isn't that what happened?

This had nothing to do with safety. The reason he was kicked off is wearing/displaying the hat.

All the clutch pearl comments are making me laugh my ass off.

You can wear a MAGA hat or a **** Trump hat on a plane, and you may be asked to remove it. You might also not be asked to remove it.
If you refuse to obey an order of the flight crew, they will kick you off the plane every single time.
I don't know why this is so complicated for some people.

The instructions were because of the hat. It's called root cause, which you don't understand a concept. I got whipped for eating the cookies. Troll on brother

It has to do with safety if the PIC determines it does. That's the point you still don't get. He's the lone arbitor of what constitutes valid safety concerns.

Yes, and his only remedy is what I listed above. Which is what he did by posting the video.

Now it is up to Delta if they instruct its employees to allow people to wear profanity on their clothing. Delta will weigh the business it will lose if they do/dont' and make a decision.

I'm betting by the comments, to the viral posts and if a poll were taken, it would heavily weight in favor of not allowing people to wear profane materials on flights.


Edit: And not just profanity but highly charged political profanity that is intended to "own the libs" and provoke them.

The hat was the reason for the complaint, NO hat, No complaint.!

Amazing people are still arguing about this because they think it was a MAGA hat, when it wasn't.

Was not a MAGA hat:

It’s not a “Make America Great Again” hat. It says, “Build Back Better My Ass”. It is not unusual for a business to prohibit clothing with “profanity”. Technically “ass” can be considered a swear word.

I have to wonder if this was staged, though. I mean… it’s possible, but…

More to the story, for sure. I hate when people instigate (albeit this one is tame) and then play the "woah is me".

Don't try to piss people off. General good lesson in life.

Nobody thinks that. HTH. That was a hypothetical given to show how absurd this episode was. It was not safety, it was political and the root cause was the hat which offended someone.

The title of the OP is literally Delta passenger removed for MAGA hat.

You're right.

If you wear a red MAGA hat (not in this case) to a liberal area, and get your ass kicked, well, that's on you! Lesson learned!

Look, with how Government runs now, just get Trump to sign an EO that all MAGA clothing is deemed non-offensive and may be worn on any mode of transportation or sporting event.

Bottom line: anyone who complained about this hat is a low IQ snowflake. I say that as someone who thinks the guy was stupid for wearing it.

When i go to Spain in a few weeks, if I see someone on my plane wearing a shirt that says "Trump is an ass", I'm gonna laugh and roll my eyes, not run to the crew and wail about it.

Quote:

---

Or maybe I'll yell "SAFETY ISSUE!" like TeslaAg.

---

Again, I never claimed it was a safety issue. I claimed the pilot did. And his opinion is the only one that matters.

I agree with you on that point. It's not a terrible profane word that would be censored here. Kind of on the line. If I were there and there were no kids and their was some lib woman *****ing about it, I think that's ridiculous.

I'd be quietly judgmental about a Dem or an R who wore politically charged stuff on a plane. But I 'd talk to them, help them get their bag down or whatever. Flying sucks and I try to be as nice as I can to everyone on the plane.

That's where I'm at. Flying sucks. I hate it. And I hate it more with delays. So if I were on that flight, even though I agree with the guy's hat, I'd still be thinking "dude just stow the ****ing hat so we can be on our way". And then if he refused I'd be thinking "Just throw that guy off already so we can be on our way".

Quote:

---

What if there were a passenger on a flight that had a "Jesus Christ is an ass" hat? I'd be offended with that as well. You can think of a ton of examples "Legalize Pedophilia Now!" Epstein did nothing wrong, etc... I might have beer or two on a flight and wanna kick that guys ass.

---

If that is the logic being used then everyone must wear pad locked straight jackets on flights.

This seems obvious but as Teslag stated its about following directions.
I 100% agree there are flight attendants with power trips. However, this is the same type of guy that gives blowback for having to answer exit row questions or arguing about putting his bag further underneath the seat so in a fiery crash and the cabin is dark and smoke-filled, no one in his row is tripping and falling over his stupid bag.

If he's trying to make a point over a hat with profanity and not remove it because " screw everyone else, I'm the important one" who's to say in an emergency he's not the guy grabbing all 3 of his bags because " screw everyone else, I'm the important one" and takes valuable time to get out of the plane?

---

Exactly.

The ONLY thing that pisses me off is someone delaying the flight. Well two things. People who won't let people in front of them stand up, remove their bag, get their things together without trying to rush pass them and not let them out of their seat also annoy the hell out of me. That extra minute is not that important, bro.

Lol, lmao even.

Look, if there are a bunch of Longhorns on a flight and I'm wearing an Aggie hat and a bunch of them complained, if the stewardess asked me to remove it, I'd complain about it but I'd do it.

---

Very good example.............. now, you take your hat off and go back on the plane. You call the stewardess over and make the same complaint about the tu hat and she and the pilot say to turn your head and look away. But, but, but I had to take my hat off........... Too bad I am the pilot.

So sure the pilot has this say so but I am saying the hypocrisy must end.

The pilot doesn't care about hyprocrisy or being fair. He just wants to fly that aluminum school bus to the next location and be on his way. And I don't blame him.

Curious, do you guys just look for stuff to get you angry everyday? It seems there are several random stories like this that get posted to Texags everyday.

Confused. That's not a MAGA hat.
