And yes, I'm just going to assume he'd been sitting at SFO eating beers all day. Story didn't point that out but I'll fill in that blank myself...
Unfortunately, you would be wrong in your assumption as this flight was enroute to San Francisco from Sydney.
D-bags come in all shapes, sizes, genders, and races. I applaud the people who put up with it, but that many hours having to possibly hear that, I would be glad the pilot decided to turn the plane around. Perhaps, fining the offending person the cost of the delay would make him think twice in the future before opening his mouth.
