Drunk or Egotistical, your call.

Over the holiday weekend, a passenger on a Delta flight from NY, acted a damn fool. Apparently the passenger opened the emergency exit door, the disembarking line wasn't moving fast enough for him. If this occurred in the US, we all know they would have charged him for terrorist acts and would have searched his ass for weapons of mass destruction.(laughs) This ritual of partying the night before Guyanese fly is not a new phenomenon. So I am not surprised to hear, of stories of intoxicated passengers. For all we know he was feeling ill and wanted to get some fresh air or he simply had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it much longer. Another alternative, y'all know it can get stuffy in those tight cabins, even in First class. Don't get me wrong the passenger should be fined, for that behavior, but Delta should know better. Delta has the right to stop a passenger from boarding a flight if they seem incoherent and intoxicated. It was Delta's fault for allowing the passenger to board the plane in the first place. With all those security checks before boarding someone should have noticed the drunkard. But now this brings up another suspicion, if he wasn't drunk before boarding, he may have become drunk on the flight itself, shame shame to those naughty "air maids". All in all, if none of the criteria fit, maybe he was simply an obnoxious first class passenger, who considered himself to be better than the commoners in economy class.
