Back to that story about John Reed, the first-class passenger on that Sacramento-to-Dallas American Airlines flight earlier this month who asked a flight attendant for a glass of orange juice and wound up with a federal warning for bad behavior instead. A Friend of Unfair Park sends along Reed's appearance on FOX News Monday, where he was joined by Dallas consultant Dave Koss, whose post about the incident garner all this attention in the first place. This is for those who doubted Koss's story, since, by his own admission, it was recounted to him by his wife and others after he woke from a mid-air nap.

Turns out, Consumerist also has the video -- along with myriad other links to items about the incident. Lookie there, someone's even written a song about it.
