And he doesnt mince words.

Be nice to each other, the pilot says in the clip.

Be respectful to each other.

I shouldnt have to say that.

You people should treat people the way you want to be treated.

But I have to say it every single flight because people dont.

And theyre selfish and rude and we wont have it.

His frank demeanor caught some people off guard.

As passengers begin to murmur, one woman can be heard saying, What is going on?

Put your junk where it belongs, he lectured.

Everybody paid for a space.

Dont lean on other people.

Dont fall asleep on other people.

Dont drool on them unless youve talked about it, and they have a weather-resistant jacket.

But his talk didn’t end there.

Over and done in this country.

Nobody wants to hear your video.

I know you think its super sweet.

It probably is, but its your business, right?

So keep it to yourself.

Use your AirPods, use your headphones, whatever it is.

Thats your business, okay?

Its just part of being in a respectful society.

And with that, he welcomed everyone aboard the flight.

What do you think of the pilot’s speech?

Do you applaud his bold move or feel that the lecture was unnecessary?

Hear this American Airlines pilot’s announcement about respect and proper flight etiquette.
