American Airlines Pilot Goes Off On Rude Passenger Behavior In Divisive Rant Caught On Video

The pilot of an American Airlines flight laid down the law before take off. He added a small lecture to his opening captain's speech to the passengers.

He addressed the adults who misbehave on planes, calling them out specifically for not listening to flight attendants, annoying fellow passengers and being the "selfish and rude" passengers he finds on "every single flight."

The pilot said:

“Everybody paid for a space."

"Don’t lean on other people."

"Don’t fall asleep on other people."

"Don’t drool on them, unless you’ve talked about it and they have a weather-resistant jacket.”

Most people agreed with his message.

However others pointed out if you were offended by what he was saying, you were probably part of the problem.
