A Frontier Airlines passenger in Atlanta was filmed having an epic meltdown on Tuesday. The woman approached a seated male passenger in the gate area, shouting, “You think this is a game? You laughing?” before delivering an unforgettable threat: “My wife is a Spanish b***h… we would destroy you.”
She was ultimately separated from the bewildered passenger by police, with additional clips showing her screaming at airline staff.
The passenger on the receiving end of the tirade and the responding police officers were calm and composed. Few are surprised that this happened (1) with Fronter (2) in Atlanta.

I’d say this is more a function of Frontier’s passengers, and this seems to happen with some regularity in Atlanta, though some commenters have suggested that the ultra-low cost carrier’s aggressive expansion and cost-focused operations are to blame for stressful environments conducive to passenger frustration. This doesn’t seem like the ordinary stress of travel.
Here Atlanta airport police body slammed a drunk passenger who resisted arrest. And a passenger grabbed a fire extinguisher, coming out spraying after stealing chicken wings in Atlanta.
Possibly the largest airport brawl ever occurred in Atlanta with Frontier’s ultra-low cost rival Spirit. Here’s Delta Air Lines Karen screaming to speak to the manager in Atlanta.
Although it’s not just an Atlanta phenomenon, because here’s a Frontier gate agent barking erratically at passengers and a Frontier passenger declaring themselves the gate agent while performing a wild dancing and making announcements, before getting dragged off by police.
I wonder if outsourced gate agents don’t exacerbate many situations like this.
@Kirk — James Tiberius… you need not disparage entire groups of people based on the misbehavior of individuals…
No surprise here. Remember when airports were full of people with class and grace?
I’m wondering if these are paid actors working for Delta so that people decide to change airlines (and use Delta instead.)
@George Nathan Romey — No, George, we’re not bringing back segregation, which it seems you’re alluding to; and it wasn’t ‘better’ then, either. So, as much as some are trying to force that upon us all again, no, we’re not ‘going back’ to some bygone era; no amount of revisionism or nostalgia fixes this. You know that incidents like this are rare, and they are dealt with for the most part, by de-escalation, detaining perpetrators, and investigations. ‘Frontier justice’ isn’t the answer either.
@George Nathan Romey said “Remember when airports were full of people with class and grace?” Yes. It was just yesterday at all the airports in Tokyo, Japan.

Nothing like stereotyping Spanish folks. And setting them back a couple decades
I find this type of performance art seriously lacking with the so called premium airlines.
It’s not “type” situated it’s based upon behavior. Yes, white people can be just as bad. Watched a video yesterday of a drunk male white nurse that punched a DL employee at ATL because HE GOT DRUNK and missed his flight. I don’t want that piece of trash anywhere near an airport.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s it wasn’t just white people that flew. In 1982 I flew to Chicago with a senior banking manager, happened to be black. I don’t remember him being denied service or told he was on the “whites” only plane.
Baldwin?
It’s not all of them. But it’s always them.

I remember when they were full of Hare Krishna
