This plane passenger’s impolite actions didn’t land well with the pilot.
After saving a woman’s life at 30,000 feet, an Air France airman unabashedly bashed the “ungrateful” damsel in distress, claiming she’d given him the middle finger seconds before being transported to a health care facility during the emergency landing.
And the internet is in stitches over the fly-guy’s “sassy” response to being flipped the bird.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, one of our passengers needed some medical care, we asked for a doctor, nobody was onboard,” the aviator explained via the aircraft’s public address system, per viral footage of the mid-flight fracas.
“We are now diverting to St. John, Newfoundland, Canada, and we will have to offload this passenger to the hospital,” continued the unidentified pilot in a TikTok clip with over 3.9 million views.
But getting “offloaded” off the airplane and onto an ambulance really ticked off the woman, according to the commander.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, you’ll be happy to know that our passenger — which we saved her life — she was a bit angry to be offloaded from the aircraft,” he notified travelers as the plane resumed its original route.
And although it’s usually a flight attendant’s job to serve the tea, the slighted pilot couldn’t resist spilling a little gossip about the lady’s distasteful disembarkation.
“She gave us the finger when leaving the aircraft,” he revealed, “and she started being very angry at the hospital — that’s it.”
The wingman’s shade subsequently tickled social media users.
“I love a sassy pilot,” one viewer quipped.
“Not him spilling the tea to the whole flight,” added another.
“The pilot being French makes this even funnier for some reason,” wrote a fan of folks from France.
“Normalize pilot gossip on the PA,” another cheered. “We wanna know too!”
Nosey frequent flyers and no-nonsense aeronauts are a literal match made in heaven online.
Be it a pilot unveiling the truth about “disastrous” airports or one exposing a pothead for smoking weed in an airplane lavatory, everyday people seem to love a bit of juicy engagement with the men and women of the cockpit.
A United pilot has even gone viral after shaming the airline for failing to provide snacks for trippers during a four-hour flight.
His selfless concern for the customers earned the cloud-cruiser applause and support from appreciative strangers across cyberspace who vowed, “If they fire him, we ride at dawn.”
