Escalator police!
Dont mess with Texas or is Texas just a mess! LOL
Texas is infringing on the rights of people by such regulation! Big guvmint sucks
I’m sure they have had too many Lawsuits because kids got their hands or feet stuck in the escalators…. esp If allowed to play on them without parental watch!!!
I love my pilots!
That passenger on GO Air was, under the guise of wanting to “understand,”trying to start trouble.
Stupid Goatphukkers…
I stand with the captain. That guy was just a hyper sensitive social media Bozo trying to manufacture attention for himself. It’s too bad Gary Leff didn’t stick up for the Captain. Oh yeah, I forgot…. Gary Leff is a social media Bozo himself.
