An airplane pilot went viral for scolding his passengers—Harvard expert says it’s great leadership: ‘Bravo’

提交時間:
 
When a video of an American Airlines pilot scolding his passengers during a pre-flight announcement went viral, some people deemed it patronizing. Others, including a Harvard University expert, are hailing the pilot’s speech as an example of strong leadership — at a time when passengers desperately need it. “I say bravo to the American Airlines pilot. He has every right to do that. He’s the captain of the flight, and he’s in charge of what happens,” Bill George, an executive fellow at Harvard… (www.cnbc.com) 更多...

I've never understood the speakerphone in public thing. Nobody else is interested in listening to your conversation, the music you are listening to or the video you are watching. In the early 2000's my wife and I were in a 1/4 full Ruby Tuesday's and the guy in the booth next to us whips out his flip phone and goes on speaker with someone - and had it cranked. The restaurant was otherwise pretty quiet. After about 5 minutes of that and giving him a couple of looks that clearly conveyed my message - I went over to him and told him to knock it off. He looked at me in surprise and tried to tell me how busy he was. Guess what? Nobody here gives a shit how busy you are was the response he got - and I again told him to go off speaker or go out in the hall or I'd have him removed.

Use headphones or put it up to your ear. Stop being an attention whore.

Good job and kudos for you, I would have done the same except he would have gotten some Marine Corps language.

Next time just join in their little public conversation. It’s funnier and you won’t have to threaten people like a douche, but you’ll have the satisfaction of embarrassing them.

If you don't like the rules to fly, go by wagon train next time. It's a little slower and certainly more dangerous, but the rules are more lax. See you at your destination in 5 month's. Happy trails to you!

Had the pleasure of meeting him and Dale Evan once. What a very honorable man Roy was. Excellent post.

I would never hesitate to support my FAs over the PA system, if ever needed. And sometimes I had to come close to threatening dire consequences to anyone onboard who disrespected or tried to thwart the FAs in carrying out their duties. It worked.

i dont see anything wrong with this at all! people have gotten very "me first" selfish about everything,and especially on airplanes..you expect professionalism and courtesy from the flight crew,so why should it not go the other direction?i have been on flights,long before political issues or divisiveness were the norm, and had pilots make the announcement that the f/a's were on board mainly to provide for the safety and comfort of the passengers,so please be nice or respectful..never heard any complaints then, and it should be more applicable now! bravo to this captain as if there is any sort of hassle or fight or whatever,its his plane,his crew and the rest of the passengers he has to take care of (along with air marshalls if they happen to be on board!)..
