  1. He was my pilot on the way to L-AX.

  2. Wouldn't want to be on he's flight, is that he's emergency procedure

  3. Im guessing he is better at flying a plane than log chopping.

  4. He's been putting his paycheck over the last year in Bitcoin! hahaha

  5. That mfer is not real!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

  6. Capitalism is pushing us to the breaking point..

  7. This is good news .. He could have been axing his plane into the ground..

  8. People have had enough. I feel for him hopefully whatever is going on he gets better.

  9. I am convinced that being high in the air for long periods negatively affects the brain. I pulled down my pants.

  10. At least he didn't go out there with a gun.

  11. That's what the car is for๐Ÿ˜…

  12. Muthafucka lost it LAUGHING MY FUCKIN ASS OFF LOL

  13. Shoulda stole a plane instead buddy now youll never fly again

  14. He was doing everyone in line a favor. Kudos to him for his quick thinking. The charges should be dropped.

  15. Well, itยดs UNITED AIRLINES!!!!!! What else can I say? They are a horrible company that is the leader of doing horrible things to both passengers and employees. It absolutely NEVER, EVER surprises me that, when there is an airline scandal, that UNITED most likely is involved. The toxicity of UNITED extends across other Star Alliance carriers, such as Lufthansa, which is also a horrible airline.

  16. I understand this has almost happened to me where I was stuck inside a garage, because the time it took me to drive a ten story parking garage and to leave, my ticket expired and then it wouldn't take cash…and kept rejecting my card for some reason.

  17. Homeless people do this all the time in SF, and much worse. Why isnt that national news?

  18. Now I am reminded of the movie "Falling Down" featuring Michael Douglas.

  19. Give this man a raise๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ‰,

  20. The mental state definitely comes into question, I donโ€™t want my life and the hands of someone that overacts like that.
    Hope he gets some counseling, because we definitely need pilots.

  21. He definitely wasn't unhinged. Proper axe form, not violently lol that's the proper way to use an axe such as for a tree. Guy wasn't 'violent' he didn't attack anyone with the axe.

  22. I don't blame him ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ airport parking are very expensive,, while you waiting to exit they charging you for the Time,,,But God bless this Pilot 63 years old Looking good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ for his age.

  23. Imagine him hitting his breaking point while in the air.

  24. Pilots need to sleep more. Period

  25. He's clearly going thru something. I wouldn't let him near a plane right now

  26. Pilot should never fly again. Imagine what would happen if he has an epiusode on a plane full of passengers.

  27. The guy did not hurt anyoneโ€ฆโ€ฆLife can be very frustrating at times. Get him counseling and some help.

  28. What happens if the autopilot kicks off while he's flying through heavy turbulence? Sledgehammer to the instrument panel?

  29. I think hes hot!!!! Not just hot but sexy!!!! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜š

  30. Should have just said he was antifa. They would have let him go

  31. Hey dude, it's easier to chop with an ax if you remove blade cover ; )

  32. Good thing he didn't pull a kamikaze

  33. Bro, just lift up. ๐Ÿ˜‚

  34. Heโ€™s a good man

  35. Do not want him as my pilot

  36. A few days away from it all is probably needed.

  37. some people just had enough.

  38. Never know whats in the cockpit these days…but I feel his pain. Long day at work and you have to deal with employer created parking lot gridlock too. buuuuut…They did say he was in his 60's meaning retiring soon??? Maybe just intentionally padding his retirement with a last minute viral video?

  39. This is why I don't fly commercial

  40. The world is sick. Lots of people on the verge of snapping. Somethings got to change.

  41. Um…yeah…I don't think I want this guy to pilot any plane anymore.

  42. I like this guy and I am proud of him. He has probably been putting up with atrocious bs from United Airlines for no telling how long and then on his way home he has to stop in a line to leave work parking lot. NO company should make anyone wait in a frigging line to leave their workplace when they have been working for the company all day, this is such BS. Stupid crap like this is why I have worked for myself all my life except a few years as a teenager. You folks can have that corporate crap, they could care less about you. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible while getting the most work out of you as possible this reason alone is good enough for me to say nope not this boy.

  43. They got his age wrong. According to New York Post, he is 64

  44. The gate mocked him then pretended to fall dramatically as he was walking away ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜‚

  45. They said he was 63, they guy looked like he was in his 30's

  46. United Airlines should fire him because what if he had another temper tantrum in the flight deck of a United Airlines plane.
