A group of Trump supporters allegedly mocked Republican Senator Mitt Romney while on a flight to Washington DC, to attend a rally in support of President Donald J. Trump. As a punishment, the Flight Attendant Union wants to bar the Trump supporters from getting home on their return flight.
Airlines are using the US Capital events as their cover for “avoiding violence,” to deny the passengers their return home.
According to CNBC News, the Flight Attendants recently met to discuss:
- Flight attendants raised concerns about politically motivated disruptions on board.
- Unruly passengers could be fined $25,000.
According to a recent article, “The country’s largest flight attendant unions on Wednesday expressed safety concerns over politically motivated disruptions on flights after [alleged] pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol building, demanding that the results of the presidential election be overturned,” they wrote.
“The unions’ comments came after at least two on-board disruptions on Washington D.C.-bound flights, including a Delta Air Lines flight carrying Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, during which some passengers chanted “traitor.” Delta said it was aware of the incident and that “our crew quickly engaged and resolved the issue.” A spokeswoman for the senator didn’t comment,” CNBC reported.
“The riots at the Capitol create further concern about [participants’] departure from the D.C. area, Nelson said. Acts against our democracy, our government, and the freedom we claim as Americans must disqualify these individuals from the freedom of flight,” CNBC wrote, quoting the union.
Romney is very unpopular among Trump supporters. Numerous confrontations have gone viral between Romeny and Trump supporters, including the following footage where Romneys’ constituent in Utah confronts him. He quickly retreats after scolding her for not wearing a mask and then being snobby to her.

Julie Hedrick, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents American Airlines’ more than 25,000 flight attendants, said in a statement that the union is “incredibly concerned about recent politically motivated incidents on board passenger aircraft.
“Regardless of one’s political beliefs, the cabin of a commercial aircraft must, out of necessity, be a calm environment for the safety of everyone on board,” she said.
Flight attendant unions called for zero tolerance for such incidents. Interfering with the duties of a flight crew member is against the law, and unruly passengers can be fined $25,000.
Airlines said they are taking several precautions to protect employees, including moving flight crews to airport hotels so they can avoid locations in central Washington D.C.

No offense, but I saw the video and it looked like there were DOZENS of pissed off Americans who were fed up with Mittens. It would be easier to ban HIM and keep the plethora of your ticket buying passengers.
Exactly. Thank you for saying it.
Yes there were a lot of Patriots who were pissed off by the traitor, Willard & rightfully so. Old Willard could just hire himself a Private Jet & fly around.
As for the Airlines, I took 24 Domestic flights in 2020 until they made masks mandatory, I won’t be flying again until the masks go away.
We were staying in the boarding area & they kept telling us to social distance, then we walked down the jetway & sat down with our arms literally touching – then when the plane was almost full AA boarded people from standby & filled up the seats that were supposed to be kept vacant. Total bloody joke!!
It is all about control, I just refused to wear the mask.
I, too saw the video. I was cheering them on as loud as I could. I was sad when it ended. Rat Romney should be booed everywhere he goes…in reality, IMHO. He should have been recalled by the people of zutah. Of course, he will be revered by the communists in charge now.
The offending flight attendant should be placed somewhere dark and dank with no opportunity to deal with patriots. The airline industry is getting so many “banned” customers pretty soon there will not be ANY one allowed to fly.
The flight attendant union can go fook themselves.
