“If you don’t come on the jet bridge, and flip your shirt outside in and out, right? So that word doesn’t show, I will have to deplane the whole aircraft,” the flight attendant said.

“I’m sorry about that sir, but that is the policy, you cannot wear that,” she continued, adding that she was advised if he doesn’t, Brooks would be placed on a no-fly list.
When questioned by Brooks to be shown the policy, the flight attendant said they might look at the policy on the computer outside the aircraft, to which Brooks shot back that if it is online, she should pull it up on her phone.
