Confessions of a Hostie
“The weather outside is in direct contrast to the storms we have endured on the aircraft.
However, before the passengers can leave, four of the biggest security officers enter the aircraft. It is US policy that in situations like this, the cuffed prisoner must be removed before any passengers are. The Captain has made a PA throughout the cabin, clearly explaining this procedure and requesting the passengers to wait until the Polynesian man had been taken away. There could be nothing more humiliating for the Polynesian man than being escorted past all the passengers, with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking down and his clothes covered in vomit and excrement.
Nobody should have had any sympathy for his behaviour and his predicament, but later – and this is a completely uncalled-for reaction – one of the cat owners seeks out the captain and tear strips off him, loudly and in front of everyone, about how disgusted she is with our airline for the unnecessary shaming of the Polynesian man.
