Cool scenarios dude. You said never to hit a woman with a closed first, ever. While I agree with that up to a point sometimes in the interest of self defense shoving or running away may not be your best options.

If she followed him, that would just be more ammo for his case with HR.
Unfortunately, it isn’t ‘that’ simple anymore. Is this guy a scumbag? Yes. Did he know there was an eagle in the sky recording everything? No. Let’s assume for a second there was NO video evidence.

Let’s say he does do the good guy thing, doesn’t lay a hand on her and walks up the jetbridge out into the concourse in front of the public.. she follows, she’s clearly irate and looking to ruin this guy, starts screaming bloody murder that she’s been assaulted, now you’ve got the whole terminal involved in an escalating situation. Cops are called, he’s taken away in handcuffs. Did that initial slap leave a mark? We’ve seen how the he said/she said argument has played out in court of public opinion over the last two years. Both scum, but good thing for the video or there probably would’ve only been one arrest and it certainly wouldn’t have been the aggressor.

Bottom line: STAY AWAY FROM FAs. This is potentially a multi-million dollar career. They aren’t worth it.

Put another way, don't dip your pin in the company ink well.

Flight attendants are evil...EVIL, I tell ya!

Maybe, just maybe if you didn't cheat on your wife/juggle multiple women in multiple layover cities AND kept your
pants zipped up, you wouldn't have such problems.

I think the more stunning thing about this is that the media didn't say "American pilot" or "United pilot" or "Delta pilot". Anytime there's an incident in the regional world, it's always "xxx Airlines" and later in the article "operated by xxx..." . The press didn't even hesitate.

FA’s are a special kind of crazy, that said I think they have to be to do that job. They can be great friends on the road, too.

If you can’t separate friends from physical/romantic feelings and relationships, probably a good idea to stay away. If you can, no problem with hanging out with your crew as far as I’m concerned.

Act like an adult and don’t do shady/dishonorable things and people will notice, and have your back if it ever becomes necessary.

Wrong. Spitting is battery.
