Now it's Delta and I agree with the passenger. The plane was in line awaiting their turn for takeoff, he was told he couldn't use the bathroom, he sat down and waited, but finally got up and used it.
He couldn't have been more chill and polite when being told he had to follow the powers that be to discuss what happened.
“The pilot came on and said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we have to return to the gate and remove a passenger,'" Hamilton said. "It escalated to that point that fast.”
Thank God they returned to the gate, whatever that cost in fuel and time. Who knows when that maniac was going to commit another unauthorized urination that might've endangered the aircraft?
Quote:
FBI agents were waiting for him when he got off the flight, he told the Journal-Sentinel.
Members of the elite Federal Urination Task Force, no doubt.
Quote:
Delta refunded his flight, and Hamilton said he paid three times the returned amount for a Southwest Airlines trip back to Milwaukee.
Did Southwest inform its passengers that they had a rogue urinator in their midst?
This isn't the airline's fault. There are strict Federal regulations about passengers being seated at that point in a flight. This is nothing new. He should have went before boarding. The FAA has fined airlines in the past for not being strict enough about being seated.
What would happen if the plane actually started takeoff while he was peeing or while he was running back to his seat.
The plane was on the tarmac for 30 minutes.
Common sense approach - you say to the woman who denied you the first time, "I'm sorry, but I REALLY need to use the bathroom" and her response is, "Let me go up and find out where we are in the queue."
Unless they were next, I don't see why he couldn't have taken three minutes to use the restroom.

I have sat on a plane that was in line for 3 hours before. Just how long are you suppose to be forced to sit there without going to the bathroom?
