OBJ in and out of consciousness, kicked off flight

[Ranching]

Both...jumping from planes still makes me scared...to love it...
my most scary is ropeing down from a Hele. I'm still frightened! Just a thing I love...

That playstation game can be scary.....Lol, JK.

First class used to be a luxury. What's the real benefit of flying 1st class. In fact, most airlines no longer have 1st class. They simply call it business class.

I got a chocolate sundae the last time I flew first class.

lol...it hurts to this very day! And sometimes hurt is still good, I try it every day.

I haven't flown since 2008..one of the engines blew and we had to make an emergency landing, but I'll be flying to Mexico city next week. I may need some of what OBJ had.

I would need more background on the issue. Was he drunk? did he take medication because he doesn't like to fly? either way doesn't look good.

No it didn't sound good at all. You are probably right right about taking something to sleep because he may not care for flying- so many people do that. I have never been on a 5 hour flight before, who could blame anyone for wanting to knock themselves out for a bit, lol- thats a long time to just sit.

JBS posted this elsewhere, but it deserves its own thread.

Still want him?

He’s sitting down on a plane. Why do they care?

 

[VaqueroTD]

Weird. Almost sounds like a Karen reaction. Known lots of people who booze or drug up before flying because of their fear. Still… explains a lot on his diminished career if he’s still getting publicly intoxicated at age 30.

Because he wouldn't put his seat belt on.

As did I.

Non-responsive passengers are a problem. Pilots are not going to look past issues that could cause diverting into another airport. On time percentages are important to every pilot's career. The pilot is solely in charge of how that airplane is going to be operated, and his experience and level of comfort with the situation as he reads it.. well, that becomes law on the ground and in the skies.

I was about to post this response from OBJ's lawyer. If this statement is indeed the accurate events of how things played out, then the airline is the one who is going to have to come with up an explanation for why their flight attendant reacted in such a manner.

 

[Rockport]

Well, well, well. Totally different story. Those flight attendants can get real pissy of late because of Covid.

Come on now.....I doubt it went down just like that
Guess we gotta wait for the inevitable passenger videos to come out.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Are we allowed to bump the threads where I said this guy is a bad guy and tall said he’s changed

 

[Runwildboys]

I call BS.

If the pilot was an Eagles fan he would have waited until he reached cruising altitude to throw you out.

Besides, an Eagles fan allowed to fly a plane???

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Maybe having the Dallas cowboys franchise beg for his mediocre services added to his delusions of grandeur

What exactly did you expect from his paid lawyer? His statement sounds implausible.

This is typical of OBJ. Not at all hard to believe.

 

[Runwildboys]

It was pay per view but for some reason I got for free

Watching through your neighbor's window?

However some fans may feel about OBJ's football personality. If the airline released a statement to the media which made Odell seem like an unruly, out of control, misbehaved passenger, when he wasn't acting that way at all, then this situation can quickly turn around on them, to the point of them receiving bad press for it. As we have already seen some people jump to the conclusion that Odell was behaving in an unruly manner. Yet if his attorney can prove that it wasn't the case the airline is the one who is going to have to be doing some PR damage control.
