Southwest pilot threatens passengers for airdropping nudes before take-off

A pilot for Southwest Airlines had to act like a father driving on a road trip with unruly children. This happened on a flight from Houston to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The reason? One passenger “AirDropping” nude photos to everyone on the plane.

AirDrop is a function available on iPhones that can send large files directly to other iPhones without needing a wifi or cellular connection.

“Quit sending naked pictures. People do realize kids can have iPhones too, right?” the pilot scolded over the public address system.

Then the pilot threatened to taxi back to the gate and force the passengers to disembark and deal with airport security if the barrage of revealing pictures to every iPhone onboard the flight didn’t cease.

The pilot concluded by announcing that “Vacation is going to be ruined.
Whatever that AirDrop thing is, quit sending naked pictures, and let’s get yourselves to Cabo.”
