Pissed at a United Airlines Flight Attendant
who had the FBI handcuff Terrell and had him escorted off a plane in front of wife and kids and plane full of people.
“During questioning, it was rightfully determined by the FBI agents that this flight attendant was inaccurate in his accusations and the agents profusely apologized, even offering to support me and my family in any way possible,”
“I refuse to stand by without speaking out on this disgusting display of injustice and deplorable treatment by United Airlines,” said Davis.

United Airlines is the most shameful airline on earth and is run by a cross dressing freak. It is a DEI nightmare and should be avoided at all costs.

If TD had hit the guy, he would have been in the hospital. Flying in general is a shit show. Now making a request is viewed as an assault. I once saw a passenger very politely ask a flight attendant that if after everyone was on the plane if there was an extra aisle seat if he could have it because his knee was hurt and needed to stretch it out. The flight attendant said she "didn't like his tone" and the next thing we knew 2 cops were on the plane questioning him. The guy even lifted up is pant leg and showed how swollen his knee was. BS like that makes me hate flying that much more.

This story reminded me of something I saw, which WAS a passenger-related matter. I think I posted it on here when it happened. My wife and I had gone to visit family in South Africa back in the fall. I returned a couple of weeks before her, as she was staying longer to help with the new baby. When we got to Atlanta and I was in line at customs... which there was hardly anybody in line, early in the morning... some flight attendants had gotten in line and were talking to each other, one guy saying he was glad he "wasn't on that Cape Town flight", saying it "was one hot mess". We very quickly came to realize what he was talking about, when all of a sudden the SCREAMING of a woman started back in the back of that big room (customs room). We looked back there and there were several police officers, pushing one of those red/metal airport wheelchairs, and they had a younger woman strapped in ... her hands/wrists strapped to the hand bars, and I think her legs were also strapped to the chair, pushing her across the back, headed for the doorway that exits into the terminal. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, while they slowly and casually pushed the chair... "HELP! HELP! HEEEEEELP! THEY'RE HURTING ME! THEY'RE HURTING ME!! HEEELP! HEEELP! YOU'RE HURTING ME!" And this just went on and on and on. It was pathetic.
Apparently, this woman put on quite a show on the airplane during the flight. Now, imagine, you are on a flight that lasts like SIXTEEN HOURS, and some freak woman is going off on people. I have no idea at what point in the flight things happened. But a huge portion of the flight occurs going right down the middle between South America and Africa. You are at about 41/42,000 feet, over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, angling north and west. And you get some passenger who is arrogant enough to create a problem like this woman created. Her behavior upon getting arrested tells you a lot about her attitude and her potential behavior while on the plane, in the midst of that humongously-long flight.
I guess with United... if they're pushing hugely to placate these "interesting" behaviors within their hiring practices, and you put that up against an unknown number of hundreds and thousands of passengers over time... more and more problems are going to arise. People... in general... are idiots... me included.

he should be pissed, United should be very embarrassed. I agree with the strategy of protecting your employees' safety, and that's a higher priority than the customer at the end of the day. But at least sending another employee back there to figure out what happened before alerting the FBI would have mitigated the whole situation.
