A first class passenger on American Airlines became so upset over the service levels and meal choices on his flight to Miami that he repeatedly demanded to speak to the captain then attacked two flight attendants when told to remain seated, including pinning one to the cockpit door.
Enraged That The Only First Class Meal Choices Were Vegetarian, Man Shoves One Flight American Airlines Flight Attendant, Pins Another To Cockpit Door
Robert David Croizat was flying on American Airlines flight 1192 in first class from Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI) to Miami, Florida (MIA). Onboard, Croizat was informed that only vegetarian meals were available. This made him irate and the exchange wtih the flight attendant over his lunch made him even more upset. Incensed that the male flight attendant was “rude” (even though he admitted he had already been served two alcoholic beverages before lunch), he demanded to speak to the captain.
He then stood up, as if to approach the cockpit (although there is no indication he actually attempted to breach it) and was told by multiple flight attendants to sit down. He refused to sit down, then began pushing a flight attendant. Shortly thereafter, he pinned another flight attendant to the cockpit door. With the assistance of other passengers, he was restrained and a beverage cart was placed in the front of the galley, blocking his access to the flight deck.
Oh yes, and that also blocked everyone’s access to the forward lavatory, forcing first class passengers to walk to the rear of the plane to use the loo.
Croizat continued to complain while seated. Police met the aircraft in Miami and arrested Croizat. He now faces charges of assault and interference with a flight crew member.
View From the Wing notes that when he was let out on bail, he asked to leave Miami because he found the hotels too expensive there. Croizat is a retired British hedge fund manager…
If you wish, You can read the complaint and passenger affidavit.
CONCLUSION
I’ve heard of vegetarians getting upset over only being offered meat options, but this is the first time I’ve seen a carnivore lose it over a vegetarian meal choice.
Dude, it’s just an airline meal. Next time, bring a back-up just in case. That’s what I do. That’s what most seasoned travelers do.
And he should be thankful he didn’t get the pastrami sandwich…

But more importantly, he had the audacity to complain about poor service when he was offered drink refills before lunch was even served? I’d be pinching myself to see if I was really on American Airlines…

That guy loves meat
Interesting, he recently founded a mental health org.. “Mental Wellness Barbados.” According to the group’s Instagram page, the group is the “new #mentalhealth charity in #Barbados Previously lacking and much-needed Founded by @robertcroizat Please follow and support this charity.”
Probably a scam
500 followers! getting big lol https://www.instagram.com/mentalwellnessbarbados
I rarely eat on planes. Not worth it. I always bring my own nuts, bars, etc… if I need. On longer flights, I just sleep.
Your right, it’s good to carry your own goodies, especially if you’re flying coach prices. But business and first class is very ,but very expensive. So the airline should be prepared to give a good quality service, for worth of what there spending. Now he’s behavior was totally unacceptable, I would of waited, and requested and adjusted price, for the lack if service at first class
The Daily Beast had a slightly different spin on this story. Apparently the flight attendant was not properly respectful according to Croizat and he found the service to be sub-par. I guess he hasn’t been traveling recently
Does it really matter after someone becomes physical?? Especially pinning them against the cockpit door??? No.
A retired British Hedge Fund Manager living in Barbados? Perhaps the money laundering business is getting stressful.
Maybe a few too many Bombay Sapphires…
probably hoping to run into Rihanna to have her promote his new Barbados business
“punching yourself” or just “pinching yourself” – I’d hate for you to inflict that level of pain for an American Airlines flight – then again….AA would probably appreciate you taking such a committed effort to make sure you were flying with them. The punch does give you the authentic experience 😉 haha
That is all assuming the flight attendants were telling the truth. It’s very possible the man complained about a poor meal, the flight attendant was hostile and aggressive to the point the flight attendant’s mental state being a safety risk, and the man asked to speak to the captain about the hostile flight attendant. Maybe the flight attendant shoved the passenger or the narrow space cause an unintentional bump and the passenger responded to protect himself. This is speculation but so is believing the flight attendant’s narrative. Flight attendants routinely lie, instigate, and escalate situations. Other flight attendants and the pilots back up their “brothers and sisters” like cops back up cops.
It’s all discrimination because he’s a white male, amirite?
Stop making everything about race. If you want race to become a non-issue, stop fanning the flames. https://i.postimg.cc/NjtRDXcZ/IMG-5941.jpg
Average democrats can’t help being racists, it’s both in their DNA and their re-education doctrines.
Vote blue no matter who. History is literally repeating itself and people are like ‘no big deal’ as they literally fail an open book test. Andrew Tate for VP? jk but lol https://i.postimg.cc/d1yTYRcs/IMG-6073.jpg
Poor Jan is so paranoid and delusional that they think travel blog readers care about their political whining. What a loser.
Jan is delusional? Lol ok. Jan didn’t start this discussion. Are you & Aaron sons of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford? You’re both about as credible as her accusing Kavanaugh of gang rape.
“Are you & Aaron sons of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford?”
That’s like asking if you and Jan are siblings and/or attend the same Klan meetings lol
Another unsuccessful attempt at a burn but keep trying. Maybe try taking some fake pics at the border while you’re at it.

“I’m not a racist, you’re the racist for pointing out how racist I am”…said by every racist to deflect any progressive change lol
I am not a biologist but progressives trying to push racism and every other failed divisive agenda isn’t working too well. See: CNN last night.

Post credible sources instead of toxic nonsense memes. Then maybe you’ll get an answer. But, that doesn’t fir your agenda, does it?
The crime stats are FBI stats as indicated. didn’t know they weren’t credible to you. And the first question about sex changes is more than valid.
Aaron, the bottom line with you is that you are a ####### loser. You literally cannot debate any facts or points or answer anything that is brought up.. You attack sources and individuals instead of topics and ideas. IQ lower than concrete and then you wonder why we come for you. The biggest loser.
“The crime stats are FBI stats as indicated. didn’t know they weren’t credible to you. And the first question about sex changes is more than valid.”

You come for me because I challenge you bs nonsense regarding what I said above. You’re a disgusting vile person who cringes and outright loathes any type of diversity that doesn’t seem to fit the white christian heterosexual viewpoint. You don’t want a debate, you just want to keep posting your extreme hateful viewpoints because…it gives your life meaning? I guess Satan’s cabana boys need something to do…

Amazed conservatives let him accomplish that lol
Actually liberals are the ones saying black people are too challenged to get an ID. See: voter ID.
They are only saying that in your delusional fantasy world.
quote
Democrats argue that Voter ID laws are “racist,” and that requiring ID suppresses voter turnout, especially in racially diverse communities, because photo IDs can be difficult for “poor” or “marginalized” people to acquire.
“Democrats argue that Voter ID laws are “racist,” and that requiring ID suppresses voter turnout, especially in racially diverse communities, because photo IDs can be difficult for “poor” or “marginalized” people to acquire.”
Which is how Republicans enforce voter suppression, duh. The GOP does seem to target minorities the most when it comes to voter suppression…
Sorry, he has no right to get physical with the flight attendant and pin the person against the cockpit door. You need to get a clue
We don’t know if that happened. We have statements potentially from a flight attendant and maybe other flight attendants who naturally will most likely cover for their union co-worker. Maybe we have a passenger giving a statement who wasn’t in a position to see what is going on and just repeats the narrative the flight attendant said out of context. Everyone has a different perspective on the same incident and we shouldn’t automatically assume the flight attendant is in the right,
A passenger has a right of self defense just like any person. We don’t know if he was attacked first and defended himself. We don’t know if pinning against the door is because it is a narrow space and sudden turbulence or a misstep puts the passenger against the flight attendant for a second. We don’t know. There was a case recently with an Asian man who was alleged to have hit a flight attendant. The man said he walked from the bathroom in the back past a flight attendant and the flight attendant punched him maybe thinking an accidental bump was an intentional hit. The man said he then had to defend himself against the female flight attendant who threw punches and grappled with him. That’s that case. This is this case but we don’t know what really happened.
I guess the passengers that helped subdue the rich man were also union members. You are on a flight obey the orders of flight attendants like you do the police. You can always complain to the airline after the flight.
The “Passenger Affidavit” link is a pretty interesting read
Some Flight Attendant in your past really hurt you John! Or was your ex wife an FA! Damn! Harsh!
And maybe pigs were flying outside the airplane.
It is not the passengers right to “speak to the Captian” during flight. That’s a huge security risk right there, and regardless if the FA was rude or hostile the passenger is still required to follow crew instructions which includes returning to his seat when instructed and staying away from the flight deck door. And no, a passenger does not have the right to “defend” themselves using physical contact. That’s why the industry has trained safety professionals onboard called flight attendants who can asses a threat level based on set criteria and respond appropriately. You have zero evidence of a flight attendant physically attacking a passenger. While there are rude FA’s out there, 100% of the time a situation turns physical, it’s the passenger who escalated. Please show us on the teddy bear where the flight attendant hurt you. In the mean time, sit down and don’t mess with the crew.
100%? Sweeping. Maybe 99%. Some FAs have anger and aggression issues at times like a large number of people. See: huge egos in aviation employees and in America
The Pastrami sandwich would have saved this man.
This is a collision between America’s worst first class airline service and an unstable rich man.
Here is a different aviation related story:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/11/youtuber-crashed-plane-pleads-guilty-los-padres-forest
Jeez. Couldn’t have been more obvious either.
In a statement to The New York Times after the crash, Jacob said: “I’ll happily say I did not purposely crash my plane for views on YouTube.”
This British dude must’ve forgotten about how lousy English cuisine is, and that the veggie meal was probably a thousand times better than the slop he grew up eating.
Now that he’ll being flying private, he can have whatever meal he’d like!
Pairing FOOD with FLYING only makes things more complicated. Unfortunately, this person had an anger problem and not a hungry problem.
Haha or he could just pre order next time. And if that wasn’t an option because he booked it or was upgraded within 24 hours then don’t expect first choice on AA any airline.
After 9/11 pilots will not come into the cabin unless it is to use the lavatory. Flight attendants are tasked with dealing with passenger issues. Losing it over an airplane lunch is ridiculous and shoving or threatening a flight attendant will get you arrested and banned. For life. Flight attendants are tired of being physically assaulted and will bring a civil suit against you as well. Touch a flight attendant on any airplane I am working aboard will get you an immediate physical response that you will long remember.

Yes, I’m sure. Thriving testosterone, thanks.

Again, I can’t imagine your hormone levels and other measures due to your mRNA toxicity alone
You can’t imagine them because (in your own words), you’re not a biologist.
People don’t like their cities being wastelands.. oops. https://i.postimg.cc/288bMn5W/IMG-6079.png
OMG one said something in a tweet therefor it must be true LOL
For the millionth time, debate the TOPIC you ####### fool. People don’t want their cities as wastelands.
For the millionth time, stop posting hateful GARBAGE you ####### fool. People are here to discuss the issues Matthew posts about, not your toxic hateful view points.
I agree the truth seems garbo but yall caused that with your sexual perversions and all the rest. Maybe you’re not a US citizen but this is how it works here:
As a US citizen, the first amendment guarantees you free speech.
Therefore, don’t be afraid to say exactly what you want, when you want, and how you want.
Until you don’t give AF what anyone says about you – you’ll never be free.
Laugh at these ridiculous woke idiots, tell them all to go to hell, and never look back.
–I’d say go to hell, but you’re clearly already there 😉
“As a US citizen, the first amendment guarantees you free speech.”
Free speech isn’t the same as hate speech.
“Therefore, don’t be afraid to say exactly what you want, when you want, and how you want.”
Apparently, that doesn’t apply to challenging your hateful nonsense lol
“–I’d say go to hell, but you’re clearly already there”
Only in your tiny ignorant mind 😉
LOL ok gurl 😉
To your larger point, actually I am a proponent of diversity. My best friend in Orlando became homeless during COVID and I took him in. He’s black. Why don’t you give him a call and ask him about diversity you ####### piece of Jean Carroll ####. I’ve dated black men for years. You know jack. No surprise. When I had a going away party before I moved to Florida in 2012 I filled an entire bar downtown with all of my many diverse friends. You have no ####### clue man.. Honestly I’ve been thinking of making a YouTube video about all of this and going over your comments and attacks in it, but idk if I want to do that to Matthew.
Dude, anyone can make unsubstantiated comments on here without proof. Your posts on here belie any evidence of you being a proponent of diversity. Anyone can claim to have friends or dated people.
Give him a call? How would we even know you aren’t giving us your own phone number and faking it? How about making a Youtube video instead of you and your diverse friends? If you really want to do a favor for Matthew, how about not using his comments section to keep posting such vile hateful vitriol instead?
Well I just said I am considering proving the proof with the video. Do you really think I haven’t considered going over your comments and attacks one by one on here and then posting it all over Truth Social and the rest? Don’t tempt me.
The point is you have no clue. You don’t know who I am, the amazing family, neighborhood, community and communities that I come from, who I know, how popular I am, or any of that! You’re a fucking L O S E R who acts like he knows me but has NO idea. Keep fucking around with the silent majority. You’ll find out.
Do it. If you’re the man you claim you are, then do it. You threatening to post it over Truth Social says to all of us who you really are, and what you stand for.
So like I said. Do it.
I am mentioning Truth Social as never ONCE have I called for backup from the many people that I know who share my viewpoints. I could literally send out these links to my peeps and say “handle this fool Aaron”. Instead I’ve handled it myself.
To YouTube, that’s, of course, easy for you to say and demand. My life is much more nuanced, complex, intricate and meaningful than yours, so I’m not so sure. I’ll do whatever the fuck I want, thanks, and you can keep accusing me of being in the Klan. FOH. You’re living in the stone age
“I am mentioning Truth Social as never ONCE have I called for backup from the many people that I know who share my viewpoints. I could literally send out these links to my peeps and say “handle this fool Aaron”. Instead I’ve handled it myself.”
Do it. If you’re a man, then do it.

Ah, so once you brought it up and someone called you out on it, you fell back on excuses. Typical lol
Your the one living in the stone age who can’t accept society changing beyond your white christian heterosexul status quo.
As far as the video, be careful what you wish for. messing with the wrong people.
There’s no excuse, you’re just not worth my time. you’re literal scum of the universe, 99% of the regulars here know that.
I’m not heterosexual, homo here, we just don’t support the sexualization, indoctrination, mutilation and castration of CHILDREN
“As far as the video, be careful what you wish for. messing with the wrong people.”
Ooh, I’m shaking lol
“There’s no excuse, you’re just not worth my time. you’re literal scum of the universe, 99% of the regulars here know that.”
LOL Sure, Jan.
“I’m not heterosexual, homo here, we just don’t support the sexualization, indoctrination, mutilation and castration of CHILDREN”
Please, you’re about as homosexual as Matthew is. 99% (if not more) of the regulars here know that. And spare us all this you-care-for-the-children song. It’s about as genuine as you claiming to be for diversity.
LOL ok then, gurl…
I am gay and I have only had sex with men, never had sex with a woman although did have one girlfriend junior year of high school but we didn’t make it too far beyond making out and petting, but thanks for yet again trying to define someone you. do. not. know.
Let’s see if Matthew will provide a statement for any possible future YouTube video. Perhaps he can explain why he associates with folx like you who accuse people of being in the KKK et al
As opposed to asking why he associates with racists, homophobes, misogynists, etc? 😉
Covid vaccines are amazing and safe and saves millions of lives. Thanks Science!!
Joining this late, but I’ll add this to the bottom: Only one other commenter observed this was a rich man accused of acting out. It’s not just the “Spirit airlines” crowd that has altercations with FA’s and/or issues with alcohol.
When airlines restored drink service in only the non-economy classes, that came across as a form of caste society where the “proles” aren’t to be trusted with drinks on board an airplane but the gentrified class also are capable of acting out badly.
Regarding innocent before guilty: Just as an FA overreacted to Matt and got him thrown off of a flight, we don’t know the full story. There’s apparently video but also the complaint itself claims that the passenger said he “wanted to talk to the captain” and the captain radioed in “an attempted breach of the cockpit” which I don’t see happening from the details of the affidavit.
Matthew, there’s got to be something that can be done to stop two people from totally hijacking comments.
TIA
It has been handled.
