Passenger says Delta pilot used Grindr to hit on him during flight

A passenger onboard a Delta plane was creeped out after a pilot messaged him on Grindr during their flight. JP Thorn, a 27-year-old college student, told The Post that the strange interaction happened while he was flying from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Chicago in August. When his flight landed, his cellular service returned and he noticed a new notification on the gay dating app. “I see you’re on my flight,” the message read. “Enjoy the ride to Chicago.” “My reaction was I knew I needed to get off this plane as fast as I can,” Thorn, who’s studying communications at Hamline University, told The Post. “I’ve had some weird experiences with proximity stuff on Grindr.” Turns out, Thorn told The Post that the message was sent 30 minutes prior to the plane’s landing, which meant he received the message during their 90-minute trip. Thorn said that according to the gay dating app, the man was 90 feet away from him, and the man’s profile features a photo of the sky taken from the cockpit.

“My deductive reasoning led me to believe that he was the pilot,” Thorn told The Post. “I messaged him back and he told me that he was one of the pilots.” Though Thorn was weirded out by the online exchange, his anxieties were alleviated after he left the plane and walked to his connecting flight. He continued to chat with the pilot on Grindr, whom Thorn ultimately described as a “nice guy.” “He asked me about our flight, how it was on the way, and [the conversation] was really standard,” Thorn said. “I said there was no turbulence, then he made a joke about turbulence.” Thorn deleted his app when he landed in Nashville and has lost touch with the aviator ever since. Though Thorn said that if he didn’t have to catch his connecting flight, he would’ve met the captain.

This is like one of those Onion articles where it’s not really news and there’s really no point.

This has attention-whore, victim mentality written all over it.

Setting aside the whole petter-puffing aspect of this - wtf is this pansy’s problem? Would he have reacted the same freaked out way if it had been another passenger? Does he not realize that the entire point of these apps is to meet people who are near you?
What a sissy.
What a sissy.

Gays are so silly. You know that boy wanted a game of butt darts on the tarmac after everyone deplaned

Guess it's back to the missed connections section on Craig's List

Any gay dude trolling for the d on Grindr shouldn’t be upset to be propositioned by an airline pilot.
Are gays trying to get some of that #metoo cash?
