CEO vs. Cabin Crew: When Power Meets Protocol
✈️ CEO vs. Cabin Crew: When Power Meets Protocol | Carl D’vorak Airplane Arrest Analysis
What happens when a former president of a multi-billion dollar company refuses to get off a plane? 😳 In this episode of Advocacy Alchemy, Professor Ross breaks down the viral arrest of Carl Dvorak, a senior executive at Epic Systems, after Delta flight staff and law enforcement intervened on a report of possible intoxication. 📹
Dvorak was recorded refusing to deplane, demanding handcuffs, and filming the entire interaction—all while fellow passengers were forced to deboard. 🚔 But was this defiance… or disorderly conduct?
💼 Even status doesn’t shield you from protocol.
📜 We’ll break down Michigan’s Disorderly Conduct statute under MCL 750.167, and the federal laws that govern aircraft safety and crew authority.

I’ve had one drink! Two minutes later, I’ve not had one drink!
Will this man ever have an idea?
A narcissist for sure because his wealth made him feel superior. His behavior caused a lot of inconvenience to the other customers as it delayed the travel time.

Airline police need to say "You can take it up with the airlines that they exercised their right to require you to leave. They called me to enforce the law, you don't want to bring charges on yourself, so you need to…"
I’m surprised he wasn’t flying First Class❗️. What’s up with that ❓🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, I thought so… the suspect is white, so none of the racists turned out to blame his skin color for his actions. I weep for where this world is going, considering what happens in the comments when the suspect is black. It’snabout personal (bad) choices no matter what they look like.
It's ridiculous for police to make everyone get off. They do it assuming the offender will feel bad, but people who feel bad for others don't refuse to leave. It can't be that cops can't force a person off if there's people in the plane. Imagine if 20 people refused to get off? Am I to believe cops would just give up and go home? Of course not. They would start dragging people off while other people were still there.
If you think he's got a firearm, fine, but otherwise it's just stupidity or laziness.
If the guy looks like he could snap necks all the way off, then deboard the people between him and the door.
At the very least, go try talking him off before you make everyone else get off. These people almost always get off once the police are there and they insist.
Thank you for explaining. It was so informative! 😊
He scares me. He causes so much chaos and acts like that. He wants more travel points is his goal!
When they say you need to get off the plane… you are gonna get off the plane
Deescalate does NOT mean "to bring the temperature down". This is whats wrong with society. Words are misunderstood or definitions are unknown. Words mean whatever people think at the moment. 🤦🏾♂️
Talk to him and look at his ID off the airplane already, the cops are holding up the operation!
