As soon as passenger aviation appeared in the world, the great confrontation between flight attendants and passengers began. Some try to act according to the prescribed rules, others break these rules every now and then. Like, for example, two girls who wanted to fly from Moscow to Murmansk on the evening of March 13.
Pobeda Airlines is especially zealous to monitor the seats of passengers. You will not be able to sit on any one you like — you need to pay for it in advance. But passengers who have long known about the existence of such a rule still hope for a chance and think that no one will notice them for sure, and the flight attendants will not pay attention that they took the wrong place that is indicated on their ticket.
Two passengers of a flight about to take off from Sheremetyevo to Murmansk undertook to test this theory for themselves. As soon as the pilots received permission to taxi and moved to the runway, the friends, whose seats were far from each other, decided to sit down together. The flight attendants, who at that moment were demonstrating emergency rescue equipment, were distracted by the rioters and pointed out to them that the seats should be occupied strictly those indicated in the boarding passes. But that didn’t stop the girls. While they were trying to prove their case, the commander of the aircraft intervened in the situation — while at the preliminary launch, he decided to return to the parking lot.
However, this did not help resolve the situation. And the plane stood still until the police came on board and took out the rioters.
Moreover, in the video you can see which side the other passengers took. Two men who took on the role of lawyers stood out among them. They loudly stated that the flight attendants were “delaying the plane because of some bullshit,” accused them of “biased attitude towards passengers” and threatened to be “witnesses in court.” (The video itself Vokrugsveta.ru He can’t publish it because of profanity. — Ed.)
It is unknown whether they will actually get to court, but who exactly did not get to their destination, so these are the two “rebels”. The rest of the passengers had to stay at the departure airport for an hour and a half — the plane set off after refueling and additional inspection.
In general, an airplane is not a place where the customer is always right, and the passenger may be asked to leave the plane, even if he does not have enough seat belt length to fasten himself.
