Add this guy to the irresponsible list of brand-degrading morons, like the Domino’s Pizza YouTube teenfools and SouthWest Airline’s fathead pilot who broadcasts his infantile opinions across the skyways. It makes us shake our heads, but they do damage to valuable brands that have costs millions and millions of dollars to build. Sadly, the lawsuit will be launched against JetBlue, (although if they continued to serve the guy…maybe they deserve it).
Story: Drunk JetBlue flier urinated on sleeping girl
Here’s one flight you can count your lucky stars you weren’t on.
The New York Post has the head-scratching report on JetBlue Flight 166, writing “chaos erupted on (the airline’s) red-eye flight from Portland, Ore., to JFK yesterday when a drunk allegedly urinated on a sleeping 11-year-old girl.”
The incident came when an apparently intoxicated 18-year-old stumbled toward the lavatory but didn’t realize he hadn’t quite made it the whole way to the bathroom.
“I was drunk, and I did not realize I was pissing on her leg,” the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Vermont man is quoted by the Post as saying to authorities. The newspaper says he told them he had eight alcoholic drinks, though the Post did not say whether the man had claimed to have had those drinks on the flight.
The girl’s father, who himself was in the bathroom at the time of the incident, came back to his seat just in time to catch the man “midstream,” the Post writes.
Flight attendants had to separate the men as the enraged father appeared to be on the verge of violence, witnesses tell the Post.
As if that wasn’t enough for one flight, Flight 166 was beset with another incident.
The Post says another man on the flight began complaining about chest pains about an hour before the flight was to land. He eventually vomited, and — after calls for a doctor on board went unanswered — the flight crew did its best to clean up and comfort the man until the flight landed.
Six police officers met the Flight 166 when it arrived. Four officers were for the urinating teenager and two for the ill passenger. No update was provided on the sick mans’ condition, but the 18-year-old was released after being charged with indecent exposure.
