Mask debate on Delta flight from Tampa to Atlanta

'Sit down Karen': Midair brawl erupts between maskless man and younger woman after she told him to put one on

The video - which has gotten 4.2 million views since it was posted on Twitter - starts off with the two squaring off over a man not wearing a mask on the flight 'Put your f---ing mask on,' the woman, who is more clearly audible than the man, says pointedly. The woman herself has lowered her mask down to her chin

The man then threatens to pour his drink over her head and mutters 'God d---it,' and refers to her multiple times as a 'Karen'

At one point, the unidentified woman smacks the man in the face and pushes at him multiple times

'As soon as we get to Atlanta, you're going to jail, b---h!' the man says after the slap

The woman had to be escorted away by flight staff and a bystander claimed that 'a dozen' cops were waiting for her on the ground

Masks are required during the flight. So she was right to sit something about it. But what she should have done was to ask the flight attendants to do something about it, not to confront the guy.

Now she's made a fool of herself and the world has seen it, and she's going to jail. What an idiot.

𝐅𝐁𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫

A woman was arrested by the FBI for causing a disturbance on a Delta Airlines flight and attacking an older man for having his mask off.

The woman, identified as Patricia Cornwall by the Atlanta Police Department, allegedly cause the altercation when she chastised another passenger on the same flight from Tampa to Atlanta. Footage from the incident shows Cornwall profanely telling an older gentleman to mask up, though Cornwall had her own mask down, and the man told her he was eating in his seat.

“Put your f*cking mask on!” Cornwall exclaimed, which prompted the man to call her a “Karen” and tell her “You mask up, bitch!”

The situation continued to escalate as flight attendants tried to intervene. Cornwall eventually got close enough to ask the man if he called her a “bitch,” and when he responded “yes I did,” she struck him in the face.

“Now you’re going to jail!” The man responded. “That’s assault.”

Cornwall continued to spit on the man and spout profanities until she was eventually forced to the back of the plane. The Daily Mail reports that other passengers and Delta employees were injured during the raucous as well, and that Cornwall was taken into custody by the police when the plane landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

“Based on the statements gathered and visible evidence, officers detained Ms. Cornwall and contacted the on-call FBI agent,” the police said in a statement obtained by New York Post. “The officers then relocated with Ms. Cornwall to the domestic Atlanta Police precinct where FBI agents responded and took custody of Ms. Cornwall.”

Cornwall, 51, was a former cheerleader with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to her social media She worked as a real estate agent in Los Angeles but appeared to have relocated to the Florida panhandle in recent months

On her LinkedIn, she describes herself as: 'Luxury Property Specialist at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties'.

Moved to Florida but retains her Los Angeles attitude

The man was 80 years old. He's lived long enough to see how people's public behavior has degraded over the decades. As I keep seeing all of these ridiculous altercations, I can't help but wonder how many people are the walking drunk. A veteran drinker can be legally intoxicated but appear perfectly fine until the blow-up.

The irony of her screaming at him to put his mask on while hers was off and was spitting at him is too funny for words. The bright side is she is world famous now. Her face is splashed across the Daily Mail. Former Raiders cheerleader (but, of course) and a real estate agent who recently moved to FL and was in need of renting a room.

Bossy little cunt needed to mind her own business. If the old man had his mask down during drink service, you are free to be triple vaxxed and triple masked to protect yourself.

Karen = Came out of African American culture and means an entitled (often racist) meddlesome White woman.

Lots of people have tried to co-opt the term and use it improperly so I understand how some of you are confused by what it means.

r38 I wrote this on the other thread:

The Karen is nuts, but having flown a few times during the pandemic, I can tell you: FA do NOT enforce masking on flights. I have no doubt this guy lowered his mask shortly after takeoff and used "I'm eating!!" as his excuse.

by Anonymousreply 40December 28, 2021 9:52 AM

R40 I agree with everything you just said. I fully believe the old man probably removed his mask and refused to put it back on.

We all know masks are controversial (when they really shouldn't be). I have been in many public spaces where "Masks are required" (including planes) but people do not wear them or remove them. And unless you are able to get those responsible for controlling that space to enforce the rules then you're screwed. That is just one of the many burdens we all bear being in public spaces.

But the most important thing you said is that "the Karen is nuts." Why didn't she ask flight attendants to force the rules instead of approaching the passenger? Once you take it to the level of arguing with a passenger and then laying your hands on them and spitting in their face then you are 100% wrong! The man's behavior is no longer even a factor.

by Anonymousreply 41December 28, 2021 10:41 AM

[quote]Why didn't she ask flight attendants to force the rules instead of approaching the passenger?

r41 probably because she's nuts. That said, saying something to the FA won't always get you far. On my latest flight, the guy next to me had his nose out most of the flight. I finally said something to the FA. Instead of asking the guy to wear his mask properly, she offered me a surgical mask. (I was already double-masked.)

Flying is already a high-stress situation. But when you add passengers who won't mask properly AND who may or may not be vaccinated, well, it's a recipe for unhinged people to lose it.

And ffs, they should suspend in-flight snack and beverage service on shorter flights.

20 years ago a guy put a bomb in his shoe and unsuccessfully attempted to blow up a plane and we STILL have to remove our shoes at security. But 1/400 Americans die of a virus, and airlines still refuse to mandate vaccines for passengers. Utter lunacy.

Since she was also unmasked, I don’t believe this was really about masks. She’s a crazy bitch looking for any excuse to start a fight.

R40 Yeah I strongly suspect the eating was a fabrication.The F.A.s are in a very unfortunate situation. They absolutely should enforce them but by now they know how rabidly insane many of their passengers are. I don't know what the answer is at this point. Security guards on every flight?

by Anonymousreply 46December 28, 2021 10:59 AM

The situation started because Karen got up to use the lavatory during the beverage service, which is frowned upon. Flight attendants usually specifically make an announcement to keep the aisles clear during meal or beverage service. While trying to return to her seat, the flight attendant told her to take any available seat for a few minutes…to which she responded “What am I Rosa Parks??”

[quote]“What am I Rosa Parks?” Cornwall snapped back, according to the court docs, garnering the attention of the victim. The man, who felt Cornwall’s comments were out of line, told her that she “isn’t black … this isn’t Alabama and this isn’t a bus,” according to the affidavit.

More details

The woman caught on video slapping a passenger aboard a Delta flight last week was revealed as a one-time NFL cheerleader and former small-time actor with a role in “Baywatch.”

Patricia Cornwall, whose stage name is Patty Breton, was charged with assault on Monday.

The flight attendant asked Cornwall to find a vacant seat until the beverage service was complete.

“What am I, Rosa Parks?” Cornwall snapped back, according to the court docs, garnering the attention of the victim.

The man, who felt Cornwall’s comments were out of line, told her that she “isn’t black … this isn’t Alabama and this isn’t a bus,” according to the affidavit.

The two then exchanged insults, with the man telling Cornwall to “Sit down, Karen!”

Cornwall responded, “Sit down, p—y,” according to the court documents.

According to a video of the incident captured by another passenger’s cellphone, the two also screamed at each other to “mask up!”

Cornwall is then seen slapping the man, who shouts, “You’re going to jail!”

Decades ago, as Patty Breton, she appeared in small televisions roles, according to her IMDb profile. She was on an episode of “Baywatch” in 1987 and had a role on “Married … with Children” in 1989. The actress was also featured in “Playboy: Cheerleaders.”

Crime Novelist Really Wants You to Know She’s Not the Patricia Cornwall Who Got Arrested for Delta Flight Meltdown

est-selling author Patricia Cornwell would love for people to know that she isn’t the lady who was freaking out on people in the middle of a Delta Airlines flight.

Cornwell, known for her series of crime thrillers starring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, posted a tweet on Monday to acknowledge that she was getting “some rather strange calls” about an incident that took place over the weekend. This prompted Cornwell to let people know that, despite having a very similar name, she is NOT Patricia Cornwall.
