Asinine Delta Air Lines Passenger Mouths Off At Seatmate Who Stood Up As Soon As Seat Belt Sign Was Turned Off

When the plane lands, pulls up to the gate, and the seatbelt light is turned off, is it rude to get up? One Delta Air Lines passenger certainly thinks so and spoke her mind to her seatmate after she quickly sprang up.

Delta Passenger Upset That Her Seatmate Quickly Stood Up After Flight, But She Had Every Right To…

A woman got quite upset when her seatmate got up quickly after their Delta flight landed. In fact, she became outraged. In fact, she launched a (NSFW) tirade against her seatmate:

It wasn’t the message, it was the delivery of the message

I’m surprised so many are defending this crude woman on reddit, even if they are defending her message rather than her word choice (“it wasn’t the message, but the delivery of the message”).

Her word choice is disgusting…I hope we can all agree on that. It is the mark of a stupid person to speak like that, especially in public, and even more especially inside a confined metal tube.

But I also disagree with her message…strongly actually. And for the record, I tend to remain seated when the plane lands (even if I’m seated in the aisle) and this annoys antsy seatmates as well. But I know many are restless and they want to get up and I don’t think standing up slows down the deboarding process.

People have a right to get up after remaining seated for so long. It’s one thing to shove and push…that’s never okay…but just to stand up or even to move quickly down the aisle before others get up? As View From The Wing writes, by using all the available space in the aircraft you are helping other passengers be more comfortable too.

So yes, you can stand up. And yes, you can even “make a run for it” as long as you are not bumping others. This woman was totally out of line both in her word choice and her very notion of how to act when a plane lands.
