He should be arrested for trespassing and barred from airlines for life.

Charlotte gates can be way overcrowded and a bit claustrophobic in the scrum. Maybe he was justified needing to get outside for some air.

I love the line by person taking the video "that ain't going to get him back on" LOL. My guess is someone had too much booze, drugs or both.

Of course I can believe it, because of this other shirtless guy at another airport recently:
Man vandalizes WN plane about to take off from LAX

What he’s trying to say in reply is it can’t actually be “tarmac” because it’s Tarmac, but that’s actually a proper noun used for a particular type of surface that might be used on airports, roads, etc. But the proper term (unfortunately the news personnel all got it wrong,) is the “apron”. The apron is that area of an airport where aircraft load and unload, etc.
Very commonly, even native English speakers - even aspiring journalists - get this one wrong.
The FAA’s Surface Movement Guidance and Control System Advisory AC No: 120-57A defines the Apron as “A defined area on an airport intended to accommodate aircraft for purposes of loading or unloading passengers or cargo, refueling, parking, or maintenance.”

What are the apron strings used for? English is an interesting group of languages.
