Today we share a story really bizarre we never expected to publish. Well an American Airlines passenger has been stalked at the airport since pilot Of the flight in question.
In this article:
The incident took place at the airport JFK New York, the circumstances are not very clear. Indeed, one should always listen to both bells of an affair and instead we currently know only the version of the passenger Who swears he did nothing wrong.
Austin Barrington, this is the name of the passenger, allegedly bothered the pilot and staff with his behavior during the flight, here is his account:
"I was drinking a Red Bull and the crew said something to the pilot that annoyed him and so he started yelling at me. I had my nose and mouth covered and I didn't say anything bad.
Then I was reading with my legs crossed and the flight attendant came to tell me to loosen my legs, but I did not. At that point, the assistant said something else in the pilot's ear about my legs as he looked at me with disappointment.
At that point the pilot turned to me and said, "I will follow you wherever you go," which he literally did once we landed. He followed me around the airport until I managed to lose him in an escalator.
I had my nose and mouth covered for the duration of the flight, only uncovering them to sip my Red Bull for five minutes. No one said anything to me during the flight except for these two episodes."
The passenger later admitted that when he was told to uncross his legs he was refuted commenting, "Oh is that for my safety, too?"
Maybe the crossed legs were getting in the way and maybe the mask she was wearing was not always in place, probably for some stretch it was under the nose, who knows.
Austin also recorded and posted the "chase" video on Twitter:
The passenger's adventures did not end there; once he flew to Antigua to attend a wedding, before returning, at the airport, he was told that could not fly and he was forbidden Of traveling with American Airlines.
The airline responded through a spokesman:
"Our team is in contact with the customer about their experience, and our corporate security team is looking into the incident."
According to American Airlines, the passenger has violated the rules of the company because of the registration Austin made in the terminal areas they control.
Maybe we will never know the truth, maybe the passenger has insulted the flight attendant, perhaps her attitude was too overbearing or braggart and probably his mask has been under his nose for more than once And not only when he sipped the drink.
The fact is that the story is quite curious, and it goes to add To our collection of bizarre news!
