Not much choice at this point. He physically threatened a crew member. That's well into the threat levels. Pretty cut and dry.

I also wouldn't take the FA either. He needs to cool down a little. I'm sure the stroller pax pi$$ed him off but he needs to sit one out. Being that other pax are irate at him keeping him on as a working crew member is a sure fire way to have an inflight incident happen.

Phook that. Either both of those guys go or I go but I'm not flying them.

Point is he got out of his seat and inserted himself into the situation. If you're going to do that you can't just stand there with your arms crossed watching it.

Pretty sure the days of the captain busting out of the cockpit, cigar in mouth, and removing a passenger by the collar are over.

Maybe so, but as Whackmaster pointed out, he's now escalated it to a threat level. Nice being chivalrous but now at what cost? I'm no longer comfortable with the FA or that pax onboard. No one seems to try and de-escalate things anymore. Always about the attack and one up. In video CA tells him to sit at least twice.

I saw a video of a passenger asking for someones name and then the fa freaking out and wagging his finger at him.

Agreed, NEVER KNOW what could happen in the back;

And did RJL suddenly get a grasp of the English language?

First time I saw the FA was when Mr. Helper said hey buddy, you do that to me and I'll flatten you. How he stayed on the plane after that, I don't know.

Before the United fiasco he probably would have been removed. Can you imagine if he had been yanked figuratively or literally with now a dozen cell phones recording the incident? Right or wrong at that point would be irrelevant.
