-The man questioned after the wiping whether or not they had even properly cleaned him and yelled at them over it
-He was seated in Y but was given access to the J bathroom because of his size (the J one is larger than a normal stall, it can fit a whole wheelchair+another person)
-help him remove his pants and underwear in the lav, where he then pulled out his genitals for the FAs to see
-watch him use the restroom as he demanded the door be kept open so he does not feel claustrophobic.
Upon arrival in TPE, male staffers escorted the man to the restroom, where he said he could go himself and did not need their help. The pax has reportedly had many write-ups about his behavior but it has largely been ignored by BR mgmt. because he is a frequent flyer.
Mgmt. said his requests are unreasonable but the flight attendant could've and should've said no. They refused to comment on whether or not they would blacklist him and said they are investigating whether or not their was any sexual harassment. Meanwhile, they will provide "support" for the FA.

IMO, the last part of the title is unnecessary - this has nothing to do with a disability or size - this is a passenger being a creep. The fact that the passenger is disabled and is large is a red herring and only seems insensitive.

I don't think that's true. He was allowed in the first class bathroom because of size and disability. He needed "help" because of disability (and probably size). These two facts (size and disability) help explain the story.
No one said "disabled people are creeps" or "big people are creeps". But for this story ... those facts help us understand the events.

Nope, only female FAs, which I find archaic.

TheLion wrote:Agree with most of your points on here. No FA should ever have to wipe someone’s ass. That is not in any way their job, and could actually compromise safety if they were engaged while an incident occurred.
The description of this odious man makes him seem like a creep who falsely portrays his size as a disability to get people to wipe his rear. The mind boggles.
He seems like a real troublemaker who may well be committing sexual harassment. In my view, at the very least he should be banned from flying with BR and indeed all airlines for a long time.
Also, most but not all fat people are in part to blame for their size. Unlike skin colour or sexuality, size and religion usually are entirely a result of the individual’s choices.
And “of size”?! Call him what he is, fat, overweight or large. I’m leftist on most things, but this really is political correctness gone mad!

Likely and may involve women who are under 18 and not legal for adults to have sex with in most of the world as well as liking unusual forms of sex, probably has to pay for it to get any sex, has difficulty in part due to their obesity.
I suspect the BR F/A's are in a difficult position. Parts of Asian culture make women to be subservient to men as part of their duties even if demeaning as well as fear of keeping their jobs if decline to do certain services. This is further complicated by that the flight started in the USA (LAX) so conflicts with the USA's laws and rules as to those with disabilities including obesity.
Still the lead F/A - Purser should have stepped in and determined the demands of the pax were wrong and excessive by any standards. I hope the F/A involved gets counseling, BR revises their rules that F/A's can refuse to do offensive and really unhealthy requests, that Pursers will support the F/A from having to do such requests, that such pax face criminal penalties, put on a 'no fly' list at least by their airline.

Really So he is disabled & makes comments of a sexual nature when it is a female FA. But needs no assistance in the airport when it is male employees. And tells them he does not need help. Thats a sad man using his disability to sexually harass a woman. And before anyone responds back. I worked as a home nurse for disabled people for over 10 years. What he did would get him warned & written up. with notice of termination of care if it continued. And the female attendant/nurse would be reassigned & a male put in their place.
A male FA should have to help him from now on.

What that's wrong, in the head, of someone who thinks it's acceptable to ask such a thing from a fellow human is beyond me. Something really wrong with this man's basic values.
With that said, not needing help at airport toilets can be due to size. The toilets aren't ecactly premium space on today's airplanes. I got less than 5% body fat and the toilets are miniscule for me.
Or he can play up a bit to get his upgrade. That he wouldn't be the first who does.
Unfortunately I would also suspect that the man's final destination is either Cambodia, Thailand or The Philippines. The modus operandi makes it my educated guess. The world has a tendency to see some of its creepiest men travel to those destinations.
Sitting in Manila today, I had the dubious pleasure of watching two 60+ white 'whales' wearing well used fake brands T shirts and too short jeans(showing hairy arses) try to ask(35 times so read harass) junior doctors at Manilas premier hospital out.
Thinking they can act to professionals loke they act to the bargirls. No understanding that junior doctors absolutely despise them and are so out of their league it's ridiculous. Makes me feel ashamed as a fellow white man. The number of white trash men in Se Asia is sad.
