A Passenger in Seat 1B Asked a Flight Attendant 1 Question. Then He Was Immediately Reported to a Supervisor
The passenger sitting in first class had a talk with the cabin manager after being reported
The flight crew kept a close eye on the passenger for the duration of the flight, according to the posterA man's question got him reported to a head flight attendant, according to a fellow passenger.
A first-class Delta passenger flying on a redeye from Maui to Fort Lauderdale recounted a recent flight experience on Reddit, titling the post, 'In today's edition of Things NOT to ask a flight attendant…' The passenger wrote that just as cabin service was about to begin, the flyer sitting directly in front of them, in 1B, pulled one of the flight attendants aside to ask a question.
'Hey totally random question, but on my last couple flights I noticed the FAs did not block access to the galley when the pilot used the lavatory,' the 1B passenger said, according to the poster, before asking, 'Is this a new procedure for you guys?'
The flight attendant allegedly responded, 'Hmm that's news to me,' before proceeding to inform the cabin manager.
The poster claims the cabin manager approached the passenger sitting in 1B to ask him about his inquiry. The passenger responded that he 'was just curious' before laughing it off.
The cabin manager told the passenger that information was not something he was allowed to discuss with him, before the passenger in 1B responded with 'Oh excuse me, I didn't realize I wasn't able to ask questions.'

The cabin manager proceeded to inform the passenger that he is not allowed to 'answer questions related to the security of the aircraft,' according to the poster.
The passenger, seemingly not understanding, asked for the reason behind the procedure.
'Seriously? You know why. Don't you remember 9/11?' the poster claims the head flight attendant said before continuing. 'We cannot talk about that stuff. So thank you for letting us know what you observed on your prior flights.'
The scheduled flight went on as usual until the pilot got up to use the lavatory during the duration of the flight. Two flight attendants were called to the front of the aircraft to 'block the galley and one of them stared at 1B the entire time 😂' the Reddit user wrote.
'Unbelievable this guy can't understand why it might be suspicious for the passenger seated in one of the two closest possible seats to the flight deck door to ask about galley obstructions procedures,' the passenger seated behind 1B wrote.
PEOPLE reached out to Delta for comment on the incident, but did not immediately hear back.
Forum users offered their reactions to the situation in the comments.
'How much do you want to bet the feds now have an eye out for that passenger?' one user asked in the comments.
One commenter confessed something similar happened to them when they were a teenager working at a fast food chain.
'I did this once although I'm not sure if I'm on the spectrum. At my first job in fast food, I asked the manager 'what time the money truck comes to pick up all the money.' I was like 16 and genuinely curious and she just started asking why really defensively 😭'

26 Money-Saving Habits Frugal People Swear By
Saving money feels harder than ever here in 2025, but frugal people will always find a way to waste less, save more, and get the most out of every penny. Recently, frugal folks on Reddit shared their "weird" little habit that they swear by, and I'm definitely going to adopt a few of these myself. Here's what people had to say: "I suck at meal planning. I can't figure it out. What works for me is to double the recipe of the food I'm cooking and freeze half. Do the same every day with different food as long as it freezes well. On days I'm lazy or have no time, I have something to reheat." —britzm "I save water from boiling eggs and other things. I let it cool down and water the plants with it." "I cut my own hair. I learned how to do it during the pandemic by watching YouTube. I even cut the back. I like my hair more now, actually, perfect cut every time." "I save $220 each year with monthly rubbish collection instead of weekly rubbish collection. Our city doesn't do free rubbish collection; it is handled by private companies. I make a conscious effort to make less rubbish. I'm sure I also save money by not buying surplus. That just isn't as easy to count. I save even the smallest leftovers. It can be a snack for later." —Bunnyeatsdesign"Between the recycle bin and the compost pile, I have very little trash. I called the trash pickup company and asked if I could switch to a monthly pickup plan, because I had so little trash. (Well, there is no monthly plan.) But! I discovered that the trash company I was going through would pause your service while you were on vacation, and you could be 'on vacation' for as long as you like. Once you resumed service, you had to leave it on for two weeks, but then you could go 'on vacation' again. They didn't charge you for the time you were on vacation; it basically extended your plan for however many weeks."—Witty_Commentator "Saving napkins from restaurants to use instead of buying paper towels!" "I have an e-bike. Whenever I use it, I put away money that I could've paid if I rode public transportation. I know it still consumes electricity, but saving and putting away money in one habit puts less pressure on saving money." "Sun drying clothing and bed linen. The scent can't be duplicated (it's a unique scent that is nice to experience while falling asleep). And on hot days, things dry fast, so you can knock out a few or more loads if you just get that done rapidly." —Adorable-Flight5256 "Taking home any leftover food from breakfasts or luncheons at our school. I wait until the end of the day and take home non-refrigerated items like bagels, veggie trays, desserts, and unopened bottles of drinks. Also, every Friday, garbage bags full of day-old bagels come via our secretary. I make sure to have my gallon ziplock bags to take some home with me. I usually freeze them or give them to my son to take back to college." "I cut kitchen sponges in half since it doesn't require much extra effort to scrub the counter." "I use bread bags for my grandbabies' dirty diapers and to pick up dog poop instead of buying those little poop bags." —mamaperk "I use silicone mats on my baking trays instead of tin foil, and I have halved the amount of foil I used previously. I also use silicone freezer and lunch reusable bags and have almost replaced using Ziplock freezer and lunch bags altogether." "I make my own drawer organizers out of cereal boxes. My silverware drawer, office supplies, junk drawer, bathroom, etc., are all organized with carefully cut cereal boxes (and cracker boxes and brownie mix boxes, etc.) I saved like $100+ (and another bag full of plastic) by not buying drawer organizers." "Doing one or two 'struggle meals' a week (depending on the mood), like $1 meals: pasta aglio e olio, sausages with onion, etc. This cut definitely makes a difference. I have quite a few of these I came up with over the last few years." —Less-Kiwi1317 "I use a tablespoon of sugar and my drugstore face wash as a weekly exfoliator. Works as well as the pricey, fancy stuff." "I save all the little leftover soap slivers and mush them into one big Frankenstein soap bar. It looks weird as hell, but it works, and I haven't bought soap in months." "Any time I use my credit card, I calculate the interest on the purchase so I can see the real price. Multiple people in my life make negative comments about it, but it severely cuts my spending and helps me to be more mindful." —PikPekachu "Just use old clothes that you're gonna throw away as rags. Cut it up to the size that fits you. You can wash all the rags and mats once every few weeks." "Save absolutely every sauce packet, straw, napkin, and single-use utensil from takeout. When I throw parties, my guests usually use them. Sometimes I run out of soy sauce to make fried rice, and I'll use up the 50 soy sauce packets I have lying around! Same with honey mustard for burgers, etc." "People shudder when I talk about it, but I buy markdown meat all the time. I either freeze it or eat it shortly after purchase. Never ever had a problem, and I've been doing it for 20 years." —Queen_Of_Left_Turns"I specifically shop early on Monday mornings just for the markdown meat. They always stock up the meat counter for the weekend on Friday after their truck comes, since so many shop on weekends these days. This means on Monday, they markdown most of what is left as they're doing their restock first thing. We pretty much only eat markdown meat these days."—RelativelyRidiculous "I bake a lot and save the butter wrappers for greasing pans. It's so handy to have a nice square of pre-buttered parchment that I can pull out of the fridge!" "I don't buy something unless I know what I'm going to donate to make room for it in my place. Everything has a place and I am at my item threshold, if I get any more things I'll start to feel depressed and claustrophobic. Namely if I don't have shelf space for everything to look neat." "After the pump for my foundation stops dispensing product I use a brush to scrape out whatever I can (you can use any long and narrow brush). I've been able to get several weeks' worth of product from this process. The same applies to lotions and toothpaste." —arcticskies "I plan meals and restocks around grocery store sales. The local ads and coupons come in the mail on Wednesdays, so when the discounts are big enough for items I actually buy, then that is what I cook for the week and/or stock up on. I'm talking things like eggs on sale for $.99, laundry soap coupons for $5 off, $3.50/lb off for bulk ground beef… not things like a $.09 discount on canned corn that will eventually expire in my cupboard. I also do a quick look around the house to make sure I am not buying something on sale when I already have six months' worth of it in the freezer." "I started unplugging things like my washer and dryer, stove, and power strips when not in use. I've noticed my power bill has dropped." "I use those plastic produce bags from the grocery store to line my small trash cans at home. I always double-bag my produce purchases to make sure I don't run out at home." —71stMB And finally, "I only shop for food based on 'unit' pricing. I track unit pricing on my most purchased items in a Google sheet and reference it when making a grocery list and shopping." What's a frugal habit that you swear by?

Delta Airlines pilot arrested by ICE agents moments after landing plane at San Francisco airport
A Delta Airlines pilot was detained by federal agents just moments after landing a plane at a California airport — shocking passengers and plane crew alike. The pilot was arrested on board Delta Flight 2809 around 9:35 p.m. Saturday, just as the aircraft touched down in San Francisco from Minneapolis and was preparing to deplane, according to a local report. Before anybody could leave, about 10 federal agents — including officers from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) — boarded the full plane, then 'stormed the cockpit, cuffed the co-pilot, arrested him, walked him down the aisle, and ushered him off the plane,' one alarmed passenger who saw the whole ordeal said. Advertisement 3 A Delta Airlines pilot was detained by federal agents just moments after landing a plane at a California airport. X 'A group of people with badges, guns, and different agency vests/markings were pushing their way up through the aisle to the cockpit,' passenger Sarah Christianson told the San Francisco Chronicle. After the pilot was led away by the entourage of officers, another group came to cart his bags away. Advertisement And the flight crew had apparently no idea what was happening — with the other pilot telling passengers that he was as baffled as they were by the arrest, Christianson said. Exactly why the pilot was arrested remains unclear. HSI is a division of the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and has helped lead many of the immigration raids and arrests since President Trump began rolling out a mass crackdown on illegal immigrants. Christianson called the incident 'shocking and unnerving.' Advertisement 3 About 10 federal agents boarded the full plane, then 'stormed the cockpit, cuffed the co-pilot, arrested him, walked him down the aisle, and ushered him off the plane.' X 3 The pilot was arrested Saturday night after his Delta flight touched down in San Francisco. AFP via Getty Images 'It was rage-inducing to see someone being disappeared right in front of me,' she said, borrowing language frequently used by critics to describe ICE arrests of illegal immigrants. HSI has not clarified why the pilot was arrested or whether his immigrant status had anything to do with it, and did not respond to a request for comment at the time of publication. Advertisement Delta Air Lines deferred questions to law enforcement. But it wouldn't be the first time illegal immigrants have been snapped up at their workplace since Trump's crackdown began. In recent months, farms, factories and construction sites around the country have seen raids in the middle of the workday, with employees hauled off for deportation.

'Bachelorette' alum Hannah Brown marries Adam Woolard in France: ‘Mr. and Mrs. Woolard'
The couple exchanged vows at Domaine du Mont Leuze on Saturday, July 26. 7:25 Hannah Brown is officially off the market! Former "The Bachelorette" star announced she married Adam Woolard over the weekend. In a joint Instagram post on Sunday, Brown shared a stunning wedding photo with Woolard, introducing themselves as "Mr. and Mrs. Woolard 🤍." The nuptials took place on Saturday at Domaine du Mont Leuze in France, attended by 101 guests, according to People. "We wanted something really timeless and classic, and really just the celebration of our love with our friends and family," Brown told the outlet. For the special day, Brown wore a corseted ball gown with intricate leaf embroidery, paired with Jimmy Choo Staz Mesh Bow Pointed Pumps, while Woolard looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo. "I feel like it is so classic, timeless, but also feels a little unique. I love it," Brown shared. "I always knew I wanted to take up space on my wedding day because there's so many times in life, especially as women, that we feel like we need to be smaller. On my wedding day, I didn't want to feel that at all. I feel like a princess, and I feel like that's exactly how you should feel on your wedding day." Woolard also expressed his excitement, telling People he had always envisioned the moment of seeing Brown walk down the aisle. "I have always had a very clear picture of standing up at the altar and looking out at the audience and really connecting with everybody," Woolard said. "But then seeing Hannah walk down, I think is something that I've always had a very clear picture of and how I would feel in that moment. And I just, as a man, knowing that I'm going to get married, I've always had that image in my mind." The couple, who chose to live apart before their wedding, shared that they're looking forward to moving in together and "putting down roots" in Nashville. "We're really focusing on making this house a home together," Brown shared. "Spending time with our families and just having a little bit of a slower pace for just a little bit." Brown first gained recognition on season 23 of "The Bachelor" in 2018, finishing in the top seven, before becoming the lead on season 15 of "The Bachelorette." Brown met Woolard on a dating app, and they announced their engagement in August 2023, sharing a sweet carousel of photos on Instagram, including one where they touched foreheads as Brown showed off her engagement ring. "so happy," she wrote in the caption at the time. "i love our steady love. ❤️." In addition to "The Bachelorette," Brown also competed on season 28 of " Dancing with the Stars," winning the competition with professional dancer Alan Bersten.
