Ridiculous Reason For Flight Delays Right Before Takeoff

Entitled Pilots

Before it could begin its journey from Zurich to Bangkok, a Thai Airways flight had to deal with a dissatisfied pair of off-duty pilots. They were unhappy that they didn’t automatically get first-class seating—even though the cabin was pretty full.

They refused to sit in business class, and, perhaps even worse, the on-duty pilots refused to take off until the pair got their way so they practically cooperated with them which pressured the airline to just accept it, but they didn’t give in to the pressure.

Entitled Pilots

After about a two hour ordeal and a waste of time, two first-class passengers begrudgingly agreed to move to business class so that the plane would leave. The president of Thai Airways issued a public apology for the behavior of his pilots.
