Telecom Exec Threatens Flight in Denver

I'll bet he was maddest at himself.

Some executive he is...He knew he was late so why didn't he ask for the next available flight and if none was available with this airline, with another airline to booth.

Why does everything think he's not possibly a born and raised U.S. citizen. There are lots of citizens who are not named John Smith!

Put his sorry A.. on the No Fly List... After he does his time....

I don't understand why his bail is only $15K.
He can bond out for $1,500 or just put up the $15K.
And, he could easily be a serious flight risk and just skip the country.

I doubt that he'd get anywhere near the maximum possible penalty, but 6 months and $10K sounds appropriate. Plus, he needs to reimburse SWA and the Denver airport, and compensate any passengers that he screwed over with his stupidity.

Anoth guy with money, thinking he's entitled to special treatment.

Throw him in jail and check his immigration status. If he's here illegally, deport him after he does his time!! As the Gunny R. Lee Ermy would say, "stupid jack wagon!!"..

Is he in jail? If not, why not?

What an idiot.
He had to realize that stunt would land him in jail.

If his luggage had already made it onto the plane, he must have been sitting in the bar getting drunk.

Does anyone know the country of origin of the name Sergei Berejnoi?

Well if he's owner of and president of a telecom company then he's got the cash to charter a jet to take him home rather than pulling a stupid stunt like that.. Look's like from now on he will be flying charter.. no other airline will accept him
