Passenger Says Delta Pilot Used Grindr to Hit On Him During Flight

Considering that men used to pinch stewardesses asses for 1/2 a century ...

Hysterical!

"Do you like gladiators?"

This guy sounds like a douche. His "deductive reasoning" led him to believe the text was from the pilot? And he was frightened and had to get off the plane right away? Why?

"Ever seen a grown man naked?"

Looks like Sheldon Cooper & Joe Jonas had a baby

What a fucking sissy narc. The pilot said nothing inappropriate and if Little Miss Offended didn't want to hook up with anyone she simply could have switched Grindr off until she was ready to suck cock or get her pooper violated at her destination and beyond. As these app experiences are new, there's no arbiter to determine what proper etiquette is.

If the pilot had texted, "I want to f*** your f***** ass it might have all turned out differently. "Weirded out" indeed!

What a little bitch.

Millenials, am I right?

I hope you grindettes will get on his case, telling him what a little bitch he is.

If you're switched onto Grindr or any of the other hookup apps, you're basically advertzing that you're available for sex or possibly available for sex. Get over it.

There are factual inconsistencies with his story that make no sense.

I'm on Team " fucking sissy narc' and "what a little bitch" Ugh I hate kiss and tell and this wasn't even close to that. I hope "she" comes to DL often!

[quote]Thorn deleted his app when he landed in Nashville

Uh huh. Yes. Oh, I'm sure he did.

How is this even a news story? Someone messaged a dude on Grindr, so what? Why was he creeped out and felt the need to run off the plane? If he was that uncomfortable he could have just blocked the pilot. What a little bitch

I hope he gets his face punched in tonight.

Was he accidentally on GRINDR.....GIVE ME A BREAK.

r6 nailed it. We can all go home now.

R15 The right-wing media enjoys shaming gay men with cool jobs.

If we are going by his looks, he should feel thankful someone gave him the time of day.

Why was this little bitch on Grindr mid-flight? Did she want to make a move on another passenger?

What with the flight attendant who got fucked by Austin Wolfe in the toilet and this hookup seeking pilot I’d say Delta is America’s gayest, horniest airline.

He goes to school at Hamline in Twin cities know for (wait for it)

...founded in 1854 and is known for its emphasis on experiential learning, service, and social justice

...and deductive reasoning, doncha know?

And now no one else ever will, again.

Even as recently as 10 or 15 years ago a normal gay man in his 20's would have said to his friends, "You'll never believe this but I had sex with the hot-as-fuck Delta pilot after I landed in Chicago!" And his friends would have been envious.

Now, this. I'm offended. That's it.

I guess when you're young and can't even enjoy sex life must suck for you.

It’s not called the cockpit for nothing.

Am I the only one who wishes that the pilots wouldn't fuck around (either figuratively or literally) while the plane is in the air?

Is this this JP Thorn?

Yes. The eyebrows are a dead giveaway.

Here's his twitter account.

Well, to the pilot..., Live by the Twink ,Die by the Twink!

This guy has lots o' charm. Check the "come hither" look.

Oh, I was so offended that he would message me for SEX!

Cunty cunty

The whole uncanny resemblance to Sheldon makes this ever so much stranger!

He may not have realized that he and the pilot may have been a lot closer in age than he envisioned. He's probably thinking "Daddy" perv ! The Nerve! If pilot was in the right seat he could be under 25 yrs old

Just by glancing at his social media, he's almost too easy to pick on. *le sigh*

What a Whore!

[quote]How is this even a news story? Someone messaged a dude on Grindr, so what?

There is an implication in the article that the pilot, by being on Grindr during the flight, was somehow endangering the lives of the passengers.

By making the inferences to his running off the plane in fear, they're trying to suggest there was something about which to be afraid and that he was somehow in danger on the plane - a not so subtle accusation without having to take responsibility for it.

I would call him a pussy, but that would be insulting to pussies.

Those weren't inferences, r40; the twink made a direct, dramatic, and somewhat breathless statement: "I knew I had to get off of this plane as fast as I can."

The shock! The horror!

....

Fugly.

Everyone is such attention whores these days, it's pathetic.

r28 r40 So much of commercial airline flying these days is done on autopilot.

I think communicating with passengers violates the "sterile cockpit" rule, though. You aren't supposed to have discussions that don't relate to flying the plane.

Sullen queen

Mary!

Actually, that's not correct, it's during certain critical flight phases.

Pilot.

[quote] the twink

That dude is a twink? He's got to be in his 30's at least.

Is he friends with this guy?

Bragging rights. It was a PILOT, not some flight attendant.

Lawdy, Lawdy, he was so frightened in the midst of a plane full of people BUT continued to text with the guy and said he would have had coffee with him. Something doesn't smell right about this story.

This kid is looking for attention, that's all.

Pilot didn't match his profile pic so the slut is getting revenge by outing him.

[quote]Something doesn't smell right about this story.

That jacket sure doesn't.

R53 the "rattled" prisspot spa customer called the COPS?! on a masseuse feeling him up? God I am glad I am approaching elder!

At his age I would have went into the cockpit,sucked off the captain while the co-pilot fucked me,and slipped them BOTH my number as I limped back to my seat. Fuck this little crybaby sjw bitch.

Masseur = man, masseuse = woman.

r59 is such a Trumpster. Using SJW as an insult? LOL. What makes you think he's an "SJW" anyway?

[R61] Apparently there is a delicate snowflake among us.

R61 is such a Hard Lefty, thinking that typing SJW makes you "a trumpster."

I think he's reading this thread...LOL!!!

"People online will never shut up about me looking like sheldon cooper but at least i’m a hotter version of him like he doesn’t even have a jawline or good eyebrows."

what am I missing here? He get s a grindr message mid flight from the pilot of his plane? Isnt he obviously upset because the pilot is on grindr when he should be concentrating on flying the plane?

[quote]He doesn’t even have a jawline or good eyebrows.

Neither does Grindr Gramps.

r65 Yes, ignorantly so.

r63 is such a freeper that he thinks "Lefty" is an insult. Go back to Mississippi.

What was his objective in publicizing a minor event? He has no information that proves the person he chatted with was in the cockpit. It was as likely to be someone deadheading in first.

Talk about blowing your chance.

No, r68. Not a "freeper." And no MS. I don't do slave states, tard.

[quote]"People online will never shut up about me looking like sheldon cooper but at least i’m a hotter version of him like he doesn’t even have a jawline or good eyebrows."

Hotter? I don't think so.

Bitch, I make $1M an episode. What's your job that allows you to fly COACH in a COMMERCIAL aircraft?

He goes to a school where you can major in Social Justice, so yeah, SJW.

I found a picture of the pilot

Re r64's quote: on top of everything else, this guy is a complete blockhead.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: "Would the whore in 23D PLEASE turn off his phone, as I have requested twice?"

Where are you getting that he was even complaining about it?

Though Thorn said that if he didn’t have to catch his connecting flight, he would’ve met the captain.

“I meet up with people all the time from Grindr,” Thorn said. “I think I totally would have met him for coffee.”

I feel bad for the pilot. Idiot should've kept his yap shut.

People on Grindr meet up for coffee? Does Grindr know about this?

[R78] Good observation! Hadn't thought about it from that angle. Lying little bitch. "Coffee" my ass!

[R78] She was out for cream, not coffee.

Wow...a blind pilot.

How far we’ve come.

Why the fuck is the pilot on Grindr while working? You bitches that condone this are disgusting.

[quote]Those weren't inferences, [R40]

Yes, you are correct. I didn't even notice it got changed from "references" to "inferences" in the text.

I find him sexually appealing. I hate that I missed out on selfie culture in my youth and now I don’t have sexy pics and nudes of my younger self to look back on. Cheap easy sex readily available everywhere where as back then - forget it. I missed out on everything.

This is hilarious! This kid needs a life. He certainly won't be getting much action now. No one will even want to communicate with him now for fear of making him uncomfortable.

He looks like a stuck up little cunt.

People make personal calls and texts while at work all the time. Had something required the pilot’s attention, he would have been readily available to attend to it. Pilots don’t have to be “at the wheel” focusing on the sky at all times. They would never be able to do their jobs well they if they had to be on for such long periods.

And that’s why there are still two of them, even with the current technology that allows most planes to fly themselves, except in an emergency.

Some of you guys need to watch more Nat Geo, Mayday, or Air Crash Investigation (all factual documentaries with ocassional dramatizations of real events).

Why is this news? Why did he need to run to the press with this story?

What a hissy, prissy little queen. Ugh.

Plus, regardless of our fantasies, NO, the pilot wouldn’t have tried to hook up with the guy in any form in the plane. First, the kid wouldn’t have been allowed in the cockpit or the bathrooms. I can see terrorists cruising all over Grindr if they were allowed in the cockpit or in the bathroom with a pilot.

A moment in grinder is equivalent to a moment writing something down like a phone number or a recipe. Grow up DL, and stop thinking that everybody on Grindr is subscribing to porn fantasies.

and whats the problem?

take ME to the COCKpit!!!

Mrs. Quonsett would you please come with me. The captain wishes to speak with you.

he should be happy. a pilot looking to fuck is going to make sure that plane lands safely.

First, there is no way to tell it was the pilot. Second, didnt he say the message was delayed so how can he know when the proximity reading registered or if it was even correct? It could have been sent by any passenger or even by someone at the gate before he left as a prank. I checked Grindr at Work one time after everyone was gone and it showed someone online 30 feet away?

"“My deductive reasoning led me to believe that he was the pilot,” Thorn told The Post."

It just Delta Dawn'd on me.

Snitch ass bitch.

[QUOTE]“My reaction was I knew I needed to get off this plane as fast as I can,” Thorn, who’s studying communications at Hamline University, told The Post. “I’ve had some weird experiences with proximity stuff on Grindr.”

Mary!

Verificatia of sizemeat?

[quote]People on Grindr meet up for coffee? Does Grindr know about this?

r78, perhaps he's referring to his coffee enema? You know, prior to getting plowed.

R98 you made me laugh. Thank You

Millennial are the garbage generation that was inevitable after two centuries of jaw dropping human achievement. The concept of a 'man' weeping publicly because someone propositions him discreetly is to laugh to older men. Fuck these millennial clowns and their support bunnies.

All pilots are hot as fuck. Every single one of them.

^Right?! I've only had the flight attendants

Simple cure: delete Grindr. What a wimp

I don't think this ever happened. For one, if you delete Grindr, it removes all your messages. Surely in his HORROR over the pilot's comment, he wouldn't have had time to do anything else!@$# He had to save himself!@#$$%%^ He left the plane and ran, shrieking down the hallway into the airport, stumbling halfway and losing one shoe, but he kept running, and didn't ever look back, not once!@

I think he faked it, and he's probably going to get some poor uninvolved pilot(s) in trouble if Delta decides to investigate.

He's an attractive kid, but there's probably a reason he's 27 and still in college, and it isn't a graduate degree.

Pilots are so hot. Men in uniform. Most former military. And cocky

DA-LETE! next, bitch! sounds like a crying moaning bitch of a man.

[quote]He's an attractive kid

He is neither attractive nor a kid.

He should have told that pilot that he was just as fresh as paint!

Logic and deductive reasoning. Yeah right. Aren't you supposed to turn off all cell phones when you're on the plane?

That prissy idiot is on Grindr, with GPS enabled...WTF does he expect? Even if he was good looking, nobody could excuse his attitude. I pity his future boyfriends.

Eyebrows by Sharpie.

[quote] Some of you guys need to watch more Nat Geo, Mayday, or Air Crash Investigation (all factual documentaries with ocassional dramatizations of real events).

Yes, that's what I always say -- the cure for ignorance is watching more tv.

"deductive reasoning"...Right Sherlock

R107 Attractiveness and age are subjective.

^ Perceived age, rather

Does the pilot have a case against this guy for slander or some related offence?

“Can I get you something? Coffee? Tea? WHORE?”

I missed that he's 5 years older than most college students and is "studying communications." Isn't that the major football players take because they pass everyone?

Looks like he bought Burt Reynolds eyebrows on Ebay.

Yeah, I'm curious how many times he dropped out. He sounds like an idiot.

He looks like Jim Parsons and Adam Rippon.

annoying shit heel

Of course, R78, a coffee grindr.

R118, Do I see nose hair?

In r118's photo he's wearing more make up than Cher. A face that begs to be slapped.

Will Delta reprimand the pilot?

Yes. That bad boy needs a good spanking.

Yuck

His statements are inconclusive and he just questions possibilities without proof. He should head to Globe or Star headquarters and ask for a job right after he gets his seven-year Bachelor of Communications degree.

There are few things as unappealing in life as dealing with 1.) people who think they are far more attractive than they are; and 2.) people who think they are far more intelligent than they are. This foolish snowflake dings the bell for both offenses.

Proof of the first is virtually any picture that has been attached to this thread, none so more than at R34 in which Snowflake Thorn offers up his faux, default "sullen is sexy" look, scrawn body, and cheap trick nudity on Instagram (!) as some sort of alleged enticement/misguided exercise in self-congratulatory exhibitionism. I sincerely hope that future employers come across it when considering him for job openings (...and into the trash basket the CV goes).

Proof of the second is the entirety of his behavior captured in the story: his unwarranted anxieties, brilliant "deduction" skills, attention-mongering, and ridiculous notions of what constitutes safety, propriety and transgression.

I would like to salute R6 for his brilliant, precise and wholly accurate insights into Snowflake Thorn's parentage (Jim Parsons and Joe Jonas) and I would like to add that surely he is the nephew of Liev Schrieber as well, given his "field creature" (i.e., somewhat gopherish) visage.

As far as his claim that he uses Grindr to set up coffee dates...PUH-lease. Grindr remains a true scourge within the gay community, and one of the most regrettable tech developments of the new millennium. That this little bitch should be bitching about imaginary offenses related to its use is beyond the pale. He is not entitled to high dudgeon. But a good slap across the face, yes.

Lastly, thank you to the many posters who made some terrific and witty remarks at this idiot's expense--R10, R20, R29, R30, R75, R78--but most especially Miss Helen Keller, R81, who marveled "Wow...a blind pilot. How far we've come." Indeed.

The pilot is under investigation?

Anyone would run from that pilot, r134.

He's cute and I'd fuck him but Goddamn what a little bitch for outing the pilot and getting more attention on this than it deserves.

R133 says it all really.

I hope he forever gets hot coffee spilled on him every time he flies. Whiny little bitch.

LOL.

A) you're fuckin ugly.

B) Disgusting body

C) It's CALLED autopilot.

D) Pilots fuck people all over the world.

E) Get over your bug faced self.

F) If normal looking gay men would come out more people wouldn't hate us.

G) This is why they hate us -- the whiny dickless passenger, not the hung pilot.

I hate him. I really, truly hate him.

Has anyone sent him this thread? He banned me from his Instagram, and I don't tweet.

R140, I sure hope he's reading this thread. The bitch deserves it all.

The comments on that Twitter post are pretty fucking funny.

They are having NONE of the mother.

That takes the meaning of “cockpit” to a whole new level.

Why he deleted grindr?

He didn't, he's just making up shit because he's an attention whore.

Reminds me of Stefan from SNL.

R134 is that really the pilot? I doubt it as he looks Dutch or German and wearing a Boeing 737 MAX lanyard of which Delta has none or on order

R121, Communications used to be the major that everyone who could not make up their minds about a major. Many dumb jocks now take "Health Studies."

If a pilot cruised me on an ap, when I was at the age of being a pig in heat, I would have been extremely titillated and tried to make a date after the landing. If he returned that it was possible to join the mile high club immediately, I would have said OUI

He is not that smart and a dumbass.

"Millennial are the garbage generation that was inevitable after two centuries of jaw dropping human achievement. The concept of a 'man' weeping publicly because someone propositions him discreetly is to laugh to older men. Fuck these millennial clowns and their support bunnies."

Gotta love the freeper eldergays whining about millennials because of one thing some guy did......why don't you make generalizations about the MILLIONS of baby boomers who voted for Trump?

[quote]He is not that smart and a dumbass.

You sound quite bright, too.

There’s a sexual heat bubbling just under the surface

Somebody's earned a merciless hate fuck.

Oh, please, r153. No one but Thorn herself would write such a thing about Thorn.

Is that Jim Parsons?

Jim Parsons probably has a Gulfstream private jet.

So? The little snit was on Gindr and so was the pilot and that is bad because the pilot is supposed to be flying the plane or something like that?

The eyebrows are Joan Crawford's.

And it looks like no harm was done- just social media chatting.

Have some compassion, r158. Thorn was afwaiiid. Oh, my stars; he just had to get away from the scary pilot who wrote "hello"--he ran and ran.

And then, of course, we check out his IG and Twitter and lo and behold, he's a total slut. And not even attractive.

No evidence it was the pilot. Entire story is suspect.

R45 I couldn't agree more. This is the new generation of how can i get noticed at whatever cost. Complete ass hat, him and the rest of the fucking millennials like him.

r161 eh, he's pretty attractive. I'd fuck him and slap him around a bit.

I'm confused. The grindr text sent to the guy is on his Insta and is dated Aug 30. So why is this a story almost 3 months later?

r165 maybe going viral was for his senior thesis in communications?

Oh..... my....God! I am just flabbergasted and beside myself at this earthshattering and Breaking News. Sweet Baby Jesus may God have Mercy! Mercy I say Mercy!

"This is the new generation of how can i get noticed at whatever cost. Complete ass hat, him and the rest of the fucking millennials like him."

I guess you prefer our baby boomer famewhore president and the other baby boomers just like him, right?

r166 he posts to Twitter multiple times daily - he's clearly trying to establish his Brand. Some of the posts are kind of self-deprecating, but he might just be Jewish.

What's up with that lower lip?

Ew, that is TOO close up.

Clearly discount lip injections gone bad. Shoulda used Egyptian Mummy Fat.

I’d have done the pilot.

That would be a good story, not" a message from a stranger "

* faint*

THAT sniveling little bitch?

And seriously, way to fuck it up for everyone else, Mary. Pilots are as rare as unicorns and are almost always hot as fuck.

This guy and Abcde's mom should form a support group.

R175, Yes!!! A brilliant idea!

R170 Damn, Miss Thing has some jacked up teeth !

He needs to eat or work out. He looks like a fugly bobblehead.

"Pilots are as rare as unicorns and are almost always hot as fuck."

Most pilots are NOT hot, except in your "Top Gun" fantasies

Bitch, speak for yourself!

There was a retired pilot working where I was and he was gay, attractive and had the biggest hands in the building.

Flight attendants <-- FUG.

Yes, we can all agree that most flight attendants are hideous and have weird hair in places they shouldn't.

Id say by the volatile hate this has caused in posters here leads me to believe some of the posters main form of human contact is annoynomous quickies all arrangd on their i phones .and they have forgotten how to communicate with human beings in a normally accepted way.

R184, Did you find your shoe?

He's still in college at 27? Not a Jew.

Anyone used Grindr inflight or at airport terminals? Any luck?

Two of my Jewish friends went back to school and got doctorates, one in his 30s, the other in her 40s or 50s, r186.

What is it with faggity fags like this queen and studying communications, whatever that is? Be a man, study (at the least) a soft science, or at least a property humanities (philosophy). The watering down of higher ed to accommodate the simple masses I guess.

[quote]property humanities (philosophy)

Wouldn't that be Real Estate?

^ haha typo and you can't edit your posts here

^ Nor does Datalounge appear to have any punctuation marks.

Editing posts would make for never-ending arguments.

You would only get a short period to edit, r193. No more than ten minutes.

Why is this a story on the NY Post??

Grindr app works. Wow! Whatta story!!!

Jimmy Fallon made a joke about it last night.

About how unreliable are the sources of information on the NY post now?

For the record , I was hit on by a pilot living in Arkansas in 1982 when I worked ground crew for a small airline there. He was lousy in bed but kind of hot, but short. I worked with his sister which was weird. The real twist in the plot is that I fucked the sister's straight married BIL years later, the relationship completely unbeknownst to me until BIL spilled some details of his life and I pieced it all together!!!.

You're a whore, darlin'.

Fugly, Loathsome cunt.

R197 it's a conservative rag run by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox News. How reliable and accurate do you think their stories could be? They're tabloid trash.

[quote]haha typo and you can't edit your posts here

Typo and I can't, can't we, r191?

is this a form of humble bragging?

'i'm like so, hot, the pilot of the plane put the plane on autopilot for this'!

^^And the "humble" part would be what?

Is this the auditions for the Vice President's security detail?

^ wrong thread, sorry

It made a nice addition to the thread, though, r206.

He deserves to have his bottom spanked.

R206, now that you're here, come sit by me.

Let’s wait six months until he has a raging hissy when his Uber/Lyft driver makes a pass at him.
