Well, it's pretty clear that flight attendant traveled down a very slippery slope.

He won't be seeing any air pockets in jail.

I suck at life.

I am trying to find the video of Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents when he got in an argument with the flight attendant.

Fail.

While I can understand getting pissed and quitting your job, I don't see committing a federal crime on the way out being a very good idea...

Two of those charges are bogus, at best. The criminal mischief MIGHT stick. I don't see how he could be trespassing, as the flight crew is allowed full airport access. The reckless endangerment is bogus because the plane was safely on the ground, UNLESS there were ground crew below.

I saw an article where it said that when authorities caught up to him at his home, he was "locked in a sexual embrace with his partner."  Waaaaay TMI by the news outlet involved.

The woman that he was trying to stop should face Federal charges, IMO.  Interfering with a flight crew is a Federal crime . . .

I don't think that applies to the TARMAC area.

That was a good scene, and appropriate to this event.  SNL could do a funny skit on this one.

I do not think this will reach a jury stage, he will plead guilty to some small charge and then have his union sue the company on his behalf.  

So anyone out there ever watch a coworker melt down big time----I have.

They aren't allowed full tarmac access.  Most of the crew, if its not their home base, are allowed only in the area around the aircraft.

I dunno. I've seen Flight Crews walk from the baggage area all the way to the aircraft or Operations via the tarmac. Of course, this was 15 years ago, now, so things have probably changed.
