“Now in the running for worst air traveler of the year: That would be Jeremiah Thede, 42, of Berkeley, Calif., who authorities say got out of his seat 15 minutes into his Saturday flight from Rome to Chicago — despite the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign being lit — and demanded nuts for a snack. Then he allegedly stood up and demanded more. From there things spiraled into a debacle that cost United Airlines an estimated $550,000.”
