This is very right. An elderly person is supposed to know better, not even after he was made to understand the reason for the switch.

As a matter of fact, threatening to slap an air hostess aboard an aircraft in itself should be seen as a crime because he has constituted a threat to the air hostess and his fellow passengers including the aircraft itself. If he had gone ahead to slap the air hostess and out of annoyance he got an equal response, some people would have blamed the air hostess absolving the elderly man who chose to disrespect himself in the public glare.

Even if people lack manners, the moment they get to a public space, they should comport and respect themselves. Otherwise, they will have the law to contend with.

It seems the passengers are being aggressive nowadays about the high cost of booking a flight ticket

No name, no description of the elderly person nor gender.

No information as to the airport where purported incident occured, no information of the airline or flight.

I call BS.
It's your right to call BS.

However,it's also possible that the NCAA learned their lessons from the previous cases (KWAM 1 and the Comfort girl) and kept specifics out of public space to avoid escalation to social media.

What do you need those details for? Why do you think an official statement would be made up?
Tribal/ gender motivations is the reason.They want to know which tribe the offender come from so that they can attack his tribe or which gender man or woman so that they will attack him /her

He could have selected it himself during the online check in process. As long as the seat is available, anyone can select it during online check in.

People that seat by the exit door in airplanes must be physically strong in order to be able to lift the door quickly in case of emergency (the door is quite heavy).

If an old man is seated there, he denies the other passengers the chances of quick escape in emergency situations.

that is where the problem lies, some seats especially those by the door should be for certain categories, I personally dislike being moved to another seat after I had settled into my assigned seat. Even if the seat is bad, I won't find any problem with it as long as it was assigned to me during booking. But being moved, it will only be to business class for it to be acceptable or to somebody with greater need cheesy

I agree. Wouldn't also argue if I was being moved to a better seat lol. But then that emergency seat compliance is a non-negotiable rule due to the high safety risk so the passenger really doesn't have a choice.

Dealing with the public is not easy. Perhaps airlines should start asking for passenger age at the point of ticket purchase. Passengers above a certain age should not be assigned seats at the emergency exits.

What exactly is happening these days? Why are people disobeying rules and regulations when onboard aircrafts?

Is it to trend, or the devil is just having fun with people's lives?

Na wah oh...
Entitlement.

Re: Elderly Passenger Deplaned For Refusing To Comply With Instructions by IMPARTIAL: 2:01pm On Aug 28, 2025
All this is rubbish! Did the customer walk up to the seat and claim it? After buying his ticket, the seat number must have been specified for him. If the airline did not want anyone to sit there, why assign it to a passenger, and later embarrass him?

Abegii!

Bigchris01 was simply attempting a wind up. He was attempting to troll.

Everybody can see that that is a statement from the NCAA, not any article from any journalist.

Everybody knows why the NCAA did not release personal details or any details that can escalate the matter.

But as I said, it's just a wind up attempt and it didn't work.
