Pilot applauded after dealing with passenger who dashed for door to get off first

Many travellers will be familiar with how eager some people can be to get off and make a mad dash to be first when the plane finally lands and comes to a halt. But according to a post on Reddit, an aircraft captain came up with the perfect response to deal with this when one woman tried to make it off quickly.

In the post, written by an anonymous witness, the seatbelt lights were still on and they claim the woman decided to ‘not hear’ the requests from the cabin crew to get back to her seat. They wrote: “Right when we landed a Karen in the back unbuckled and darted to the front of the plane to get off first. She did not make any eye contact and felt that she was special.

“I’m talking about going from the very last seat on the plane, down the whole row and past first class. basically standing at the little kitchen thing in the front. All this time the seat belt sign was still on and we were still rolling down the runway. The flight crew had asked her to return to her seat until we reached the gate but she was not even responding.”
