This Is What Happened When Casey Neistat Called Out Qatar Airways Staff For Being Bullies
If you’re got a social media following in the millions, when you tweet or snap, people pay attention.
So when Casey Neistat, a YouTuber with over eight million subscribers, tweeted at Qatar Airways that their staff were being bullies, sure enough, the response was huge (and the airline rushed to make sure everything got sorted).
The YouTuber was worried he and his family would miss their flight

Neistat continued to tweet updates, although what actually went down is unclear

A little later and everything got sorted
AIRPORT SITUATION UPDATE; Franny is the most chill about everything, Candice is the least chill. Franny now has a lollipop, Candice is drinking. Also @qatarairways is being amazing (except those security bullies who started this mess in the first place) pic.twitter.com/xxDIwuN5fP
