Delta pilot is slammed as a ‘narcissistic dictator’ after issuing a VERY strict list of rules to plane passengers in lengthy speech – while bizarrely referring to himself as the ‘servant leader’

A Delta pilot has gone viral after giving a wild speech outlining the incredibly strict “rules” passengers must follow during a flight — while calling himself a “servant leader.”

The man, whose identity is not known, sparked fierce reactions after a video surfaced on Instagram in which he shared the huge list of rules he “had to obey” everyone on the plane.

The clip showed the pilot communicating his orders to travelers via the plane’s intercom system.

He began to describe himself as the “servant leader” and “the captain of the ship.”

The man, whose identity is not known, caused fierce reactions after a video surfaced on Instagram in which he shared the list of rules he had to “obey” everyone on the plane.

His orders include “obeying” seat belt signs, listening to flight attendants and being kind to other passengers

He explained that this meant he would be ‘responsible’ for the ‘safety’ of everyone – and ‘above all’ ensuring that those on board followed the ‘rules’.

“Everyone please look up to your servant leader,” he said. ‘Today I get to serve as captain of the ship.

‘What does that mean? It means that I am responsible for the safety of my ship, my crew, my passengers, my cargo, but above all the rules.’

The man then began listing the commands – including “obeying” seat belt signs, listening to flight attendants and being kind to other passengers.

“I want everyone to obey the seat belt sign during the flight, for your safety and the safety of everyone around you,” he continued.

“I want everyone to follow the orders and instructions of my flight attendants. And finally, I ask that we all have respect for each other.”

He concluded with: ‘Are there any questions?’

It appeared the plane was headed to Atlanta and was delayed, but it is unclear where it departed.

A travel blogger named Jay Robert uploaded the video to his Instagram account this week, where it quickly went viral, but it is unknown who originally filmed it.

People quickly flooded the comments section with their thoughts on the pilot’s behavior, and many were quick to condemn him

However, others supported the man and defended him from the haters

“I wonder if this Delta Captain is ex-military?” he captioned it, adding, “(Credit) unknown.”

People quickly flooded the comments section with their thoughts on the pilot’s behavior, and many were quick to condemn him.

‘Sure. Unnecessary and narcissistic,” one person wrote. Another added: “Total cringe. I bet he’s fun at parties.’

‘This captain has abused his power. He treated passengers like toddlers. Oh and “my flight attendants” – oh boy, you have some arrogance issues,” someone else said.

‘Please stop being a total control freak and just fly the plane. Have some faith in your flight attendants,” read a fourth comment.

A fifth simply said: ‘This irritates my soul.’

However, others supported the man and defended him from the haters.

“I love this captain. As a former Delta flight attendant, I loved that we had so many pilots who came from the US Air Force,” one person explained.

“They may not have the best bedside manners, but they are qualified.”

“Have you seen how some passengers treat the flight crew these days? I don’t mind a strong warning if it keeps the peace and there’s no shenanigans on board,” someone else agreed.

Another user commented: ‘I wish the captains did this more often. It IS necessary, especially in this day and age.”

“Well said Captain,” praised another. ‘No nonsense on his flight. I’m tired of all the arguments between Karen, Becky and Ken on the plane.’

“This is the energy I expect from all captains I fly,” read one comment.
