Kinda sounds too made up too. If the attendant told me to sit in the bathroom for the rest of the flight, i'd say no.
Are you fucking kidding me? They MADE him sit in the bathroom! Do you think this guy just voluntarily went "oh, you want the jump seat? Okay, I'll go sit on the shitter!"




Jesus Christ people, I can't believe you think this is frivalous and a waste of time. This guy was treated like less than human. In the bathroom? COME ON.

it makes as much sense as him forcing them to seat him on a full flight.

Ok a flight from San Diego to NY is like 6 hours.

Dude got on the flight b/c flight attendant (who probably wasn't working, just riding in a passenger seat back to NY) said she'd ride in the jump seat.

1.5 hours into the flight, flight attendant changes her mind, pilot says dude has to give his passenger seat back to the flight attendant. Dude says "ok I'll go to the jumpseat," to which the pilot tells him, "nope employees only, see yourself to the lavatory."

That means he rode in the bathroom for 4.5 hours, give or take.

What about that could possibly be dude's fault? I know full well I'd think long and hard talking back to the pilot of an airplane when there's probably armed air marshals on board and making a fuss of any sort is liable to get me arrested for some kind of homeland security violation.

Are you not reading that the attendant gave up her passenger seat to sit on the jump seat or are you just stupid?
