A self-proclaimed chemical engineer has now been fired after a video of his racist and homophobic drunk rant went viral as he was getting kicked off an American Airlines flight, but not before announcing that he was intoxicated and worked at global biopharma company GlaxoSmithKline.
Identified as Zachary Easterly, the former GSK employee began ranting at flight attendants on a flight from Philadelphia to Dallas Tuesday night, reports TMZ.

The person recording the video, initially posted on Reddit under the “r/americanairlines” subreddit, explains that they “didn’t manage to start recording early enough to catch his copious usage of the N-word towards the flight attendants, but it was over and over, and very loud!”
According to the post, Easterly was initially booted off the plane for being “inappropriate towards the woman in the seat next to him.”
While stewardesses asked him to collect his belongings, he admitted he was racist because he owns a black bag.
“Obvious I’m a white male that take the black bag ‘cause I’m racist,” he’s heard exclaiming as there are audible groans of disgust from the passengers.
“You’re kicking me off the f—ing plane ‘cause I’m racist. I didn’t do anything. Yeah I’m a little intoxicated but I…” he trails off. “It’s a better bag than most of y’all can afford.”
