VIDEO: Couple argue with JetBlue staff over face masks before getting thrown off | Secret Flying

Couple berate staff after refusal to wear masks.

 

A couple have been filmed becoming aggressive and shouting at cabin crew in Florida over their refusal to wear face coverings.

 

In a widely circulated video, a man is seen yelling and getting physical with a flight attendant as he was asked to exit the aircraft at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

 

“This is what you’re gonna do?” the man tells the JetBlue employee before grabbing his arm.

 

“You made me wait four f****** hours for this flight. You made me wait four God**** hours. You gave me one c*** sucking warning. You gave me one f****** warning. I pulled it up the second he said something. F****** bulls***.”

 

The man’s female companion encourages passengers filming the scene to “let it go viral” before she proceeds to give an interview to one of the passengers filming.

 

According to reports, the incident began when a flight attendant asked the woman to fix her son’s mask before getting on the plane.

 

She reportedly did not listen to the crew’s instructions.

 

“They’re kicking us off and I don’t know why,” she says. “We’re Americans. It fell off his face and he apologized and fixed it. It wasn’t good enough for them.”

 

The couple eventually exits the San Diego-bound plane, prompting the other passengers to applaud.

 

In a statement, JetBlue said the two travellers were asked “multiple times but would not comply with the federal mask mandate.”

 

“Eventually the customers were asked to leave the aircraft at which time one customer became verbally and physically aggressive toward crewmembers before eventually exiting the aircraft,” the airline told FOX Television Stations.

 

“The customers will not be allowed to fly JetBlue in the future.”
