Passenger who cat called flight attendant kicked off Alaska Airlines flight

SEATTLE -- A passenger was kicked off an Alaska Airlines flight at Sea-Tac Airport Sunday after allegedly cat calling a flight attendant during the safety briefing.

Amber Nelson, a passenger seated in front of the man, wrote about it on her Facebook page. She said as the flight attendant was demonstrating how to use the life vest, the man said, "ooh, baby."

He was seated in a middle seat with a woman sitting on either side of him, according to Nelson, and three women seated in front of him.
Nelson says she exchanged uncomfortable glances with two other women in her row.

"Every woman I know has been through this kind of degrading experience. We were trapped on a plane with a guy who clearly disrespected women and saw us as his own personal entertainment," said Nelson.

Yes you did. You made that airplane a hostile environment for ticket-paying women with your big, crude, sexist mouth, and you interfered with the safety presentation. Buh bye.

Thought the cat called the flight attendant and got kicked off.

Glad the jerk was removed and not an actual cat!
