Unfriendly Skies of the Day: Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong was recently ejected from a Southwest Airlines flight, reportedly because he refused to pull up his low-hanging pants.

According to ABC 7 Eyewitness News associate producer Cindy Qiu, who happened to be aboard the same Oakland-to-Burbank flight, Armstrong was on his way to his seat when he was approached by a flight attendant and asked to lift up his pants.

“Don’t you have better things to do then worry about that?,” Armstrong responded according to Qiu. The attendant asked again and was rebuffed again, at which point Armstrong and a traveling companion were escorted off the plane.

After Armstrong tweeted about his experience, he was contacted by a Southwest rep who arranged for him to take the next flight out. “As soon as we became aware of what had happened,” Southwest said in a statement. “we reached out to apologize for this Customer’s experience.”

Southwest sucks now anyway. I used to love them but the last few times I’ve flown with them…
