Frontier Airlines passenger rants she’s ‘president’ after pilot wouldn’t turn back for her forgotten phone
By Published Oct. 14, 2024
Wild video shows a Frontier Airlines passenger bizarrely claiming to be a “sovereign ruler” and “president of this whole goddamn country” in a meltdown over the pilot refusing to turn back to let her get her phone from the airport.
The unidentified female passenger erupted into the expletive-laden tirade as the flight was getting ready to take off from San Diego en route to Las Vegas, according to a viral clip posted on TikTok on Sunday.
The fellow passenger who filmed the saga claimed the woman went “crazy” at the crew after realizing she had left her phone at the gate area.
“If I was white and in a suit, you would stop the f–king plane,” the irate woman could be heard shouting at a flight attendant. “Laugh now, I am the president of this whole goddamn country. Watch see the f–king TV news.”
“Yes, I need to get off this plane and I’m gonna tell you straight up don’t you every come against nobody because of their skin color again,” she continued, with no explanation as to why her race was involved.
The woman, who said in the clip she’d been a Frontier customer for eight years, suggested the pilot had enough warning to turn back.
“You had enough time,” she said at one point.
“Don’t tell me you had enough to stop, tell the pilot to not go. You just released him from the bay. I saw it out the window. I know it was in my heart.”
After demanding the flight attendant’s name, the woman appeared to turn her ire toward her fellow passengers, raging: “Keep laughing, watch what happens. You’ll be expired just like your battery on your watch.”
Elsewhere in the 90-second clip, the woman was filmed spewing a slew of other bizarre remarks — including that she was “an affirmed sovereign ruler here in the government.”
“Seven continents I own,” she said.
The video — captioned “Lady goes crazy on Frontier flight” — had racked up well over 400,000 views by early Monday.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the woman remained on the flight or if it was delayed due to her antics.
The Post reached out to Frontier Airlines but didn’t hear back immediately.
