This Will Make You Want To Fly Again…

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - MAY 09: A Spirit Airlines plane lands at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on May 9, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Yesterday a chaotic scene erupted at the Spirit Airlines counter after flights were canceled which led to passengers getting irate and the police had to move in to restore order. Spirit blamed the delays on its pilots, who are negotiating for a new contract. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

A video is making the rounds of a Spirit Airlines employee using tape on a wing before a flight is about to takeoff.  Yes, you heard that right…Putting tape on the wing.

We all know the risks of flying with Spirit airlines, it’s not always the best way to catch a flight, but some people just need to get places. Unfortunately for these people, they noticed one wild thing happening before takeoff.

Check out what this airline worker is doing pre-flight.

This is what the woman said who filmed it:

“The reason why I don’t fly with Spirit,” the TikToker said. “I don’t care if it is aviation airplane tape or nothing, the fact that you have to tape the plane together and then you doing it while people are on the flight like we cannot see you.”

Some people are coming quick to the defense of the airline saying that the tape is called “speed tape” which is used regularly to repair small issues on a plane before it takes off.

Here is the full story:

Now honestly, when you first see this story you can’t beleive it. Then you read about this tape and what it does for a plane, to me I compare it to vent tape. It has a stiff metal backing for high stress areas. Now, whit that side, I would be acting the same way if I was on that plane and saw that being done before I take off.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
