Delayed Plane Causes Passenger to Get Hysterical, Then He Hears This From The Pilot

The plane was a bit of a madhouse. The flight was fully booked with people whose earlier flights had been rerouted. And Mark, who was traveling for work, was stuck in the middle seat. Normally he avoided the middle seat like the plague but this time he had no choice.

Unfortunately, all of these details were too much to bear, and once Mark began his outburst, he realized that he could never live this embarrassing moment down. What the pilot told him afterwords stunned him to silence and changed his life forever.

Mark Was A Frequent Business Traveler

Mark lived in Albany, New York and frequently traveled for work. He was used to the many frustrations of air travel, from delayed flights to canceled flights to unexplained issues that left him sitting around waiting to take off or taxi.

Through it all, he tried to maintain a rational perspective on the whole thing.

He Was Usually A Reasonable Man

Mark knew enough about the airline industry to understand that problems were usually not any one person’s fault. Sometimes it was the airport, sometimes the airline, and sometimes it was just dumb luck or mother nature.

He understood other passengers’ frustration but couldn’t see why they would yell at staffers who didn’t cause the problems in the first place.

Until One Day, He Snapped

But all that went out the window one day when Mark absolutely lost his mind over a delayed plane. It was a day he would never forget. A day in which he was pushed to his absolute breaking point. It all started innocently enough during a routine work trip to Vancouver.

A Trip To Vancouver

Mark woke up before dawn on a Monday morning and drove to the Albany Airport. He could see driving into the parking lot that the security line was especially long that morning.

He figured he had arrived early enough for the long line to not be an issue but now he was more pressed for time than before.
