He looks allot younger than 63! Just let him go he was just having a bad day. He did not hurt anyone. We need to be there for each other and help each other through these upcoming trying times. Mr Pilot, sometimes we have to change paths in life to stay out of all the negative energy. Also, maybe get some Sage to cleanse your energy. Turn off social media, get a massage, go out into nature, maybe meditate but love yourself first. Who cares what anybody thinks!! You looked good in your uniform and you were banging on a gate with an axe! who cares!!!!! Love Falcon ❤
He was having a bad day folks give him a break! We have all been frustrated. Please 🙏 for him.
Now, thats funny, everyone has a bad day, meh fine, fine and let him go.
That guy never belongs in the cockpit again!
Ever see "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, and he was hailed in that mivie, for doing what everyone else was thanking. Well done I say.
And after reading quite a few posts, I'm not really getting the traumatized, shocked, overly concerned citizen feeling the news spot seems to be inferring, hell, I wonder if anyone in the cars, even called emergency services, seems they were quite OK that someone was doing it, and only staff or immediate personnel did something. I'd have done same in the queue getting out, maybe a wolf whistle for support if anything.
cant he just grab the gate and break it off with out the ax lol
free my man!
Normal 😏 Moving on..
"Could require some mental health evaluation…" < Must require some mental health evaluation
Imagine how many loud , fat , mask wearing crybabies he’s dealt with in the last couple years … your lucky this was gate .
People are sick of paying a ridiculous amount of money just to park their car. Just like having to pay to put air in your tires now.
There guys that career.
I don’t blame him
I’d fly with him. They should give him a raise and let him enjoy the last 2 years of his flying career in peace.
I cant believe he only got suspended. Mans resignation should be on the bosses desk. I know its a sad time for him and people make mistakes, but that doesnt stop speeders from getting a ticket or vandals from getting arrested.
"I'm the bad guy?"
"Yeah"
"I did everything they told me to… how'd that happen?"
USA very strong and USA to Alaska and Alaska to USA for ever 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
At least he's a man of action.
There's the guy you want piloting your plane.
I had a buddy that worked for United they fired him because he lost two uniforms and they fired him over that I can only imagine they most certainly were going to fire this pilot
Sixty-THREE??
According to the FAA if he was drunk he wouldn’t be grounded or fired.
Cant even blame him for hating that gate arm lol
Nerd
lol imagine if he was your pilot spilling coffee ☕️ on himself while in flight 😂
I would like to hear more about the issues that led to his breaking point. They may be struggles that other airline workers are going through that should be addressed before something bad really happens!
Why are all the top comment the most simpleton reactions? They’re branding this man a terrorist for having a breakdown and taking his anger out on an inanimate object.
Alarming? Nah. He just did what everyone else wanted to do or may considered doing, but too scared to act on it.
" Look sweetie, it's ur very first flight… don't the mountains look tiny from up here?"
" Yeah…… but why is the Pilot smashing that window with a Bat??"
"Oh honey, he's just having a bad day…. he's probably just reached his breaking point."… 😖
* definitely not suited or stable enough to be responsible for the safety of hundreds of people's lives.
Not judging another person's breakdown, I can appreciate and understand that…. but there's NO DAMN WAY he should be manning the controls of a commercial aircraft. Nope….
so you can't just go and axe stuff? axing for a friend… lol
He is Not REAL !!!
..
That Man is NOT REAL !!!
… if he was female , they would've just let Her go
Must be fired!! Completely unacceptable.
Um, i will be asking for the name of the pilots when i fly. If he is one of them i'm out!
A lack of emotional control is the biggest problem in the United States 🇺🇸 and that's why many get into serious trouble with the law.
Be a master over your emotions and not a servant of it! CONTROL YOURSELF PERIOD!
Oh mammalian population density stress. You never fail.
vaxxed pilots are dying…
My kind of pilot. Obviously ex-military
Sometimes stress and frustration can make you just want to break something. Best thing is to recognize when you are getting angry and take a break.
Welp! Career over. Would’ve never thought he was 63.
He should be arrested, for poor axe-manship. That was pathetic, perhaps too much soy.
Poor guy. And arrested right away, too. I wish trump had an ax lol
