Not okay! I was on a flight from Sydney to Dallas and this old man stood up to get his jumper out of the overhead as we were taxi-ing and next in line to take off. The cabin crew in front of him were yelling for him to sit down. The crew behind me in the aft galley did a PA for him to sit down. People around him yelled for him to sit down. He ignored everyone! Finally after he had retrieved his jumper and PUT IT ON, he sat back down. I turned to the FA behind me (I'm a BIG guy) and said "Oh my god, seriously, move me next to him, I will make sure he stays put!". Anyway, a little bit later when we were up in the air, the CSM came up and thanked me for my offer to help. I hadn't really mean't what I said, but kinda did...not that I expected them to take me up on the offer. But anyway...point is, if I'm on one of your flights and you ever need a ABP to make someone a DBP, you can count on me! Nobody lays a finger on our Francesco!
Being nice and letting it go! That's his job and then you're rewarding bad behavior. Then next time she will tell the flight attendants "they let me last time." Then they will have to deal with it.
Sam thinks happened to. Me in Phoenix , the cops were talking in the gate area, and a guy took a swing at me. He missed and I decked him in front of the cops. I said thanks for your help, straightened my uniform and left. They never said a word, it felt GOOD ,
It’s actually criminal that this guy was allowed to get away with what he did that was a true “hate crime” based on his behaviors that I’m sure were also observed by others. Those behaviors are clearly reflective of his personal beliefs that drive his anger to act out like he did. And, trust me, if he’s done it once, he’s done it before - and gotten away with it, which again, is criminal. In spite of all of this, it’s good you told the story and bounced back to not allow him to have power over your emotional state for any longer than he did.
As a LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 myself, I cringed when you told us what he called you. And the cops showing up late... what a crock! Thanks for sharing! You're amazingly animated and funny!
Fancesco thank you for sharing your story - I am sorry this happened to you - You did everything one could have done in this situation - Nobody has the right to victimize another person and get away with it - Again, thank you for spreading awareness to all - I am so proud of you - You are an awesome and wonderful man.
Omg that is BS! I was like "YES, FINISH HER!" when you said you were having the cops come to snatch him up.. sorry for the disappointing ending! He will get what's coming to him if that's the way he is moving through the world.
Hi Francesco new subscriber here, I’m sorry to hear that you had to experience that . I definitely had my share of bullying so i can relate on the frustration. I’m a big believer of karma so even though he got away from the sheriffs I’m sure he got his pay back in one way or another! Keep on vlogging they are super fun!
I was asked once by a passenger "are you gay?..... my reply was" no, my husband is but I'm Roman Catholic"....... that shut them up for the rest of the flight.
Dude thought that just because he is bigger than you that he can push you around, oh hell no. I mean, I wouldn't have gotten the police involved, but I would have reported him to the airline and gotten him blocked from flying with them again. In no way is what he did to you right. I hope that you never have to go through anything like this again, flight attendants have it rough enough. You don't need assholes like that making your job harder.
Oh that is some SERIOUS BS! Upside of Ithaca Regional is we have a sheriff stationed inside the airport at all times since 9/11! Sorry you had to deal with the UTTER failure of the LEO's clusterfucking up their timing considering they had an hour of advanced notice.
hey buddy great job on your TH-cam channel! Keep up the beat work. Hey I'm an ex retired flight attendant for Alaska Airlines and I had deal with those types of rude passengers on many occasions . best way to Handel this when the aircraft arrives and shut he passenger is long gone you do have a manifest onboard of every passenger their seat number and their first and last name. That being said you should have pressed chargers anyways. That's what I have done many times.
If it makes you feel better I had a passenger arrested when she assaulted me on the bus driving. I was lucky because there was an unmarked police car and they witnessed it so when I stopped the bus BAM they were on the bus and took her in. And she denied it but they said we were in front of the bus and saw everything. I got more stories of police coming to the rescue and could write a book.
Just discovered your channel. Am an AA elite status flyer and love Disney! You're the perfect combo youtuber. Hope to see you in the air sometime. Our next trip very soon, the hubs and I are going to HNL on AA from DFW. Sorry that passenger was a complete a-hole to you.
HEY! thanks so much for your comment! It makes me so happy that you love both AA and Disney! Believe it or not I've never been to HNL....its definitely on my bucket list! Thank you for watching :)
So sorry that happened to you. That's terrible. Although I do love your voice overs on this video! It wasn't a funny story but u made it funny with those, lol. Hope that was the last time you ever have to experience anything like that :-( safe travels! :-)
LOVE you VLOG voices LOL very funny :) but I am sorry to hear that you had this happen, thankfully you and all other FA and passengers were not hurt with that big lug and his rudeness.
Franceso,I'am very sorry to heard this horrible incident while you were at work,please take care of youself and keep up,you are a great flight attendance and an awesome person,I wish one day we can shake hands in one of my flights! Bless you!
I know this happened to you a long time ago but I’m sorry it did. Too bad the police didn’t get there in time. I’m a firm believer that what goes around comes around. Stay safe!
I Really Like these type of Videos! Thank-you so much for INSPIRING me daily 😍🔥❤ That kiss at the end of the video was so cute ❤ just like you 💕 Love you Loads from Mumbai 💖 India ❤
Sorry that happened. That's the worst thing you can call a gay guy. It infuriates me down to my soul, the times I have been called that. I wish they had arrested him.
Just a question? If the cops got there so late too at least chat with this passenger- Don't they still have his name from the seat he was sitting in? Maybe that airline could at least black list him?
You should have covertly jammed the bathroom door so he'd be stuck in the bathroom for the entire flight. I once sat next to a guy (DEN - EWK) who was angry at the F.A because the flight was running late because they had to fix the AC. He was a total doosh ... when she came around with the food & beverage cart, he was still mad and said "NO!" to any concessions...what a jack#ss. I believe in Karma I am sure your Bully's payback will be sweet --middle seat and passenger neighbors with stinky feet, garlic sweat and BO - ideally on trans-con flight.
I hate the nasty replies you get regarding this. I've been a Platinum member for years, and can say I have seen some nasty passengers along the way. No matter what, you don't deserve to be insulted with bigoted and hateful language, and you don't deserve to be shoved the way you were. I'm disappointed in AA for the lack of response to this matter. Did anything ever happen?
Hello Francesco I absolutely love your videos and one day I really want to be a flight attendant. Do you have US citizenshipship? Is it required to have a US passport? Do you have to be a US citizen? I really wanted to know that. You are my life aspiration. One day I hope to be like you! I hope I get a response! 😉☺
In my opinion, you over-exaggerated the "assault" because you were mad that he called you a f*g. I hate that word too and I understand your anger. But to get someone arrested for calling you a name is kinda ridiculous. That doesn't normally happen in the average workplace. It seems more appropriate to me to have him blacklisted from the airline. PS - I also suspect the pilot did not contact the authorities until you were already on the ground because he/she didn't buy your assault story either but felt the need to follow protocol. That's why the cops were late to the gate.
The only airline that I know of that flies direct from CLT-FLL and that is American Airlines, so I understand the airline has some shitty policies which put flight attendants in a bad position. Anyways, if the seats were empty I don't see the purpose of you chasing the lady to the back. You could have just politely told her "Ma'am, these seats are a bit more premier and therefore you have to pay for these, but because I see this flight was empty I will let it go, but please remember that other FA's may not allow that" because you only pay extra for legroom, you get absolutely nothing else in terms of service, it is not like she had sneaked into business class. The other passenger though was unruly, and I understand your intimidation, but then you brought this on yourself. Don't get me wrong, I am usually sympathetic towards flight attendants but your problem here (in this video) is nowhere close to what flight attendants from other parts of the world are faced with.
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR i fly a lot got over 100,000 miles with delta and united separate and they give better customer service then american does i have had a flight attendent on them call me a nasty name when i asked them a simple question (what time are we landing)
Yeah but sometimes you just need let it go. If no one was sitting there and she wanted to be with her friend or family you could have just been nice and avoid unnecessary confrontation. I know there are rules but in this instance you could have made an exception. Every company does. That didn't gave her or him the right to assault you of course. But in my opinion flight attendants tend to over exaggerate experiences with their customers. So unless I dont know their version of the story this is just your version of the events and people here should take it as such.
It's not about being nice and letting it go, it's about him doing his job. If people want special seats they need to pay for them like everyone else. This may come as a shock to a lot of people, but the rules do in fact apply to you.
LP M. Okay. I don't think you understand the fact that those seats cost extra for a reason. Let's say I paid an additional $75 to sit in an EMS Seat on a JetBlue aircraft (using JetBlue because that's Francesco's old airline) and then this other random passenger decides to sit there without paying extra. That would not be fair to me since I had to pay extra but this person didn't. That's why there are rules. No exceptions. He was doing his job. If they wanted to sit there, they should've paid extra. End of story.
Let it go? Make exceptions? Would you have done so to for someone who was being plain rude and physically assaulted you at your workplace? What would you do then, if someone else comes up following that guy and says that "he didn't pay extra so I don't have to pay extra as well"? It only seems exaggerated because rude passengers think they're entitled to things that they don't pay for. Somehow some people lose their common sense when flying 35000 ft in the air.
No reason to let it go or bend the rules for passenger ! These are grown adults we are talking about here ! Just follow the orders and that's it the problem here is that customers really do think they can do whatever they want I see it everywhere I go shopping there's always that one disruptive customer that instead of behaving like adults they decide to act like children throwing tantrums and questioning the company's procedure/rules ! In this case those seat cost more if you want to sit there just pay ! And because some companies let it go is the reason we have so many entitled douchebags

I am SICK that someone acted like this toward you... You do not deserve it under ANY circumstances. I am so sorry.

Aw thank you!! LOL such a great comment! I'm glad that i have some ABP's out there who have my back :)))
Sorry that happened to you.
FYI, I couldn't understand when you changed voices.
Being nice and letting it go! That's his job and then you're rewarding bad behavior. Then next time she will tell the flight attendants "they let me last time." Then they will have to deal with it.
Sam thinks happened to. Me in Phoenix , the cops were talking in the gate area, and a guy took a swing at me. He missed and I decked him in front of the cops. I said thanks for your help, straightened my uniform and left. They never said a word, it felt GOOD ,
It’s actually criminal that this guy was allowed to get away with what he did that was a true “hate crime” based on his behaviors that I’m sure were also observed by others.

SENNY D It really was a very disappointing ending! But yes, I agree with you, karma is gonna get him!
Hi Francesco new subscriber here, I’m sorry to hear that you had to experience that . I definitely had my share of bullying so i can relate on the frustration. I’m a big believer of karma so even though he got away from the sheriffs I’m sure he got his pay back in one way or another! Keep on vlogging they are super fun!
I sorry about that rude passenger. Thanks for sharing. ❤ I love you description of the pax. More FA stories please
I'm sooo loving your vlogs!!! I think I'm falling for you!!! 😘❤
I was asked once by a passenger "are you gay?..... my reply was" no, my husband is but I'm Roman Catholic"....... that shut them up for the rest of the flight.

If this were Ryan Air, you probably could have gotten away with dropping him in the aisle.
hehe :)
You get what you give, I say
Oh that is some SERIOUS BS! Upside of Ithaca Regional is we have a sheriff stationed inside the airport at all times since 9/11! Sorry you had to deal with the UTTER failure of the LEO's clusterfucking up their timing considering they had an hour of advanced notice.
Cops are perfect for being too late. 9 times out of 10, they just don’t help.
Thanks for sharing this story, Francesco. How come the police didn't show up once you landed!!!. Have a great weekend!.
hey buddy great job on your TH-cam channel! Keep up the beat work. Hey I'm an ex retired flight attendant for Alaska Airlines and I had deal with those types of rude passengers on many occasions

hehe, aw thank you!
So sorry that happened to you. That's terrible. Although I do love your voice overs on this video! It wasn't a funny story but u made it funny with those, lol. Hope that was the last time you ever have to experience anything like that :-( safe travels! :-)
Why is it so hard to follow the rules and when they do that they say "Are you kidding me?" And shame you like your're doing something wrong.
Tell me about it! lol
I’m sorry, Francesco!
You should NOT have to tolerate that behavior from anyone!
LOVE you VLOG voices LOL very funny :) but I am sorry to hear that you had this happen, thankfully you and all other FA and passengers were not hurt with that big lug and his rudeness.
Glad you liked the voices lol. And thank you for your comment and kind words : )
You are truly amazing!! Do you ever fly New York to Rio? It would make my day!! Keep up the videos!! Fantastic!!
Hi! Thank you for your kind words :) But, no, i don't fly New York to Rio, because I am Miami based. Sometimes I work Miami to Rio though :)
Franceso,I'am very sorry to heard this horrible incident while you were at work,please take care of youself and keep up,you are a great flight attendance and an awesome person,I wish one day we can shake hands in one of my flights! Bless you!
Thank you very much for your comment!
Your welcome!
I know this happened to you a long time ago but I’m sorry it did. Too bad the police didn’t get there in time. I’m a firm believer that what goes around comes around. Stay safe!
Ohhh with the voice changer, as a non-native speaker, I hardly understand what you say. Thank you for the video anyway !
First view and like. :)
Francesco this wasn't with your current airline was it?
I Really Like these type of Videos! Thank-you so much for INSPIRING me daily 😍🔥❤ That kiss at the end of the video was so cute ❤ just like you 💕 Love you Loads from Mumbai 💖 India ❤
Sorry that happened to you!! People can be so awful!
Sorry that happened. That's the worst thing you can call a gay guy. It infuriates me down to my soul, the times I have been called that. I wish they had arrested him.
Just a question? If the cops got there so late too at least chat with this passenger- Don't they still have his name from the seat he was sitting in? Maybe that airline could at least black list him?
Debra Penney Agree!
Thats what I would of done.
....jajaja love it!!!! ;)
Sorry that happened to you - there will always be a dumbass in the air unfortunately - loved the voices - very funny
You worked for B6 ? :O Hi btw
hi! yes, i did!
hey how are you!?
They had a ticket and a seat number with his name and so-on...... This is a Federal Crime, it is.
You should have covertly jammed the bathroom door so he'd be stuck in the bathroom for the entire flight. I once sat next to a guy (DEN - EWK) who was angry at the F.A because the flight was running late because they had to fix the AC.

I believe in Karma I am sure your Bully's payback will be sweet --middle seat and passenger neighbors with stinky feet, garlic sweat and BO - ideally on trans-con flight.
haha! Susan you just cracked me up! Yes that would perfect karma!!!
I hate the nasty replies you get regarding this. I've been a Platinum member for years, and can say I have seen some nasty passengers along the way.

I'm disappointed in AA for the lack of response to this matter. Did anything ever happen?
This wasn't with AA, this incident occurred at my previous airline. Nothing happened, so i figured I could at least make a story time video :)
I pay for those seats. If she wanted to sit there she had plenty of time to pay
Hello Francesco I absolutely love your videos and one day I really want to be a flight attendant. Do you have US citizenshipship? Is it required to have a US passport? Do you have to be a US citizen?

OMG the voice changer is SO annoying!!
best part
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR lol. Did your mommy and daddy make up that reply for you? Good grief.
Hilarious you thought this was SO mean of me to say. What about the 21 other people who felt the same way and gave that comment a thumbs up?
Not an easy job. Must be a horrible pain to have to police people who cheat and sit in the extra legroom seats.
Kick the bully in his tiny U know what!! Then U call the Feds and he's got a felony :P

calling the police seems a little extra to me...maybe that's why they didn't show up
Maybe if you guys would give good customer service when these are paying passengers this wouldn't happen
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR i fly a lot got over 100,000 miles with delta and united separate and they give better customer service then american does i have had a flight attendent on them call me a nasty name when i asked them a simple question (what time are we landing)
Shame on u
whats your fucking purpose?
Not even cute. Big choppers of teeth
I think he's beautiful!
Deron, you are awful, just awful. You are just as worse as the guy who bullied him.
