Frontier Passenger Demands Aircraft Return To Gate, Claims To Be The “Sovereign Ruler” Of “The Seven Continents”
A Frontier Airlines passenger declared herself “president” and “sovereign ruler” of the seven continents after a pilot refused to return to the gate to retrieve her lost mobile phone. Long live the queen…
Frontier Passenger Claims To Be President Of USA, Sovereign Ruler Over World, Own Seven Continents, And Pulls Race Card (For Good Measure) After Captain Refuses To Turn Plane Around After She Left Her Phone In Gate Area
Before boarding a Frontier flight from San Diego (SAN) to Las Vegas (LAS), a woman left her phone in the gate area. She discovered this once the aircraft door had closed, flagged down a flight attendant, and asked that the pilot stop the pushback and return to the gate so she could retrieve her phone.
The flight attendant did call the captain, who declined to return to the gate. That incensed the lady, who quickly launched a profanity-laced tirade and also pulled the race card:
If I was white and in a suit you would stop the f***ing plane. Laugh now, I am the President of this whole g****mn country. Watch see the f***ing TV news. It’s a d*mn bonafied word.
Yes, I need to get off this plane and I’m gonna tell you straight up don’t you every come against nobody because of their skin color again.
You had enough time. I see Frontier do illegal stuff several times. I’ve been riding you for the last 8 years. Don’t tell me you, had enough to stop, tell the pilot to not go. You just released him from the bank. I saw it out the window. I know it was in my heart.
But the flight attendant explained that they could not return to the gate, to which the agitated passenger dismissed as “a lie from the pit of hell.” She further proclaimed:
“I am an affirmed sovereign ruler here in the government. Seven continents I own.”
The passenger recording the video below snickered at this point, which set off the woman even more:
“Keep laughing, watch your a*s be right on a boat. We shipping people out just for a nice group of expedition. What comes goes around it’s time now. Keep laughing watch what happens – you’ll be expired just the like battery on your watch.”
Yes, there’s (NSFW) video:
#Sandiego to #lasvegas lady goes crazy for forgetting her phone at the gate area. She blames #frontierair First part is cut off, but she got crazier and claimed to the the president of the country and then that she was an affirmed soverign ruler in the government and owns 7 continents #frontierairlines
It isn’t clear if the flight returned to the gate to offload her, but antics like that may seem humorous but are not necessarily harmless if her anger worsens and the matter escalates. It’s not a crime to be insane, but when confined in a metal tube with a 150 other people in a tense situation, someone like that is a ticking time bomb and does not deserve to be on the flight.
One time I left my camera in the gate area (back in the days when we still had separate cameras instead of cell phone cameras). I remember how angry I was…I was flying US Airways from Las Vegas. Of course, I never got it back…but I did not demand the plane turn around and retreat to the gate. We don’t inconvenience a plane full of people because of your carelessness…
