Conservative media personality Glenn Beck has announced a boycott against American Airlines after he was treated rudely by the crew. During a recent flight from New York City, Beck claims that he was treated as "subhuman" by airline staff.
Beck announced on Tuesday that he will no longer fly with American Airlines after receiving horrible treatment on a flight from New York to his home in Texas.
"I, unlike all of the other passengers, was not offered the option of courteous service. I don't know why. My flight attendant nearly- merely barked the word 'breakfast' when he came to me. When others were politely asked if they cared for anything to eat and given the choices, I was just barked at," Beck said.
The rude service didn't end there.
"When he delivered a soda, he slammed it down so hard, I hesitated to even open the can for fear that it would spray all over other passengers in the cabin. By the way, the other passengers, nobody else had to open their can. He opened it and poured it for them. Never once did he look me in the eye. Never once did he offer a kind or even a neutral word to me," Beck continued.
Beck claims that he has never been treated as badly as he was on the flight."I had service unlike I have never had ever before in my life, and I have had rude service before. I lived in New York City. I have never had service that was specifically designed to make me feel subhuman."
Beck, a hardcore conservative called American Airlines a liberal airline, saying "I want to personally thank American Airlines for bringing to my attention that they don't mean 'American Airlines - they mean 'liberal American Airlines' apparently."
Beck posted a link to his show in which he discussed the matter on Twitter and wrote "I hope I am the last person who has to experience this type of treatment on AmericanAir."
American Airlines wrote Beck a response saying "We're sorry for your experience. We take these matters seriously and are investigating. We'll stay in contact with your staff."
Beck stated that he will boycott American Airlines after the way he was treated.
"My family will never choose American Airlines again ... if this is the kind of people that American Airlines likes to hire."
Beck also discussed the rude service that he received while eating a various restaurants in New York City with his family over the Labor Day weekend. Beck used to live in New York, but he moved to Dallas.
