His parents put up the equity in their home, among other contributions to his bond, and he was released under numerous conditions. He has to confine himself to his parents’ home. To get there he flew New York JFK – San Francisco, presumably in American Airlines business class, because he was spotted in American’s JFK Greenwich lounge.
Video of an inflight confrontation between a passenger and a flight attendant has gone viral, where the crewmember declares “I am not your servant!” That’s after yelling “My crew is crying because of you!” The passenger told her to shut up, and she yelled shut up right back.
People on social media, and especially other cabin crew, are cheering this IndiGo flight attendant on from afar. But it should never have gotten to this.

A Delta Air Lines passenger was seen dozing on a thick blow up air mattress beside Orlando’s gate 94 prior to their flight to Atlanta. Based on the flight number on the board, Delta 9897, this would have been an extra section flown Atlanta to Orlando and back with a widebody Airbus A330 on Sunday evening.

Given the timing of his tweet, and that premium cabins show as full after clearing upgrades, it looks like his chances were slim.
Two years ago Racist Burger King got banned from Jetblue, so he flew American and got kicked off of them too. Somehow, though, he managed to fly American again after that.
That man didn’t like black people. Another Burger King took to the skies on Southwest, and this one doesn’t like Jews either.
A passenger on a train in China reclined their seat without telling the person behind them they were going to do so. The seat reclined into the passenger’s laptop, damaging the screen. That passenger sued – and won $475.
