Not A Fan Of Discrimination
Chase explained when he spoke to local news outlets that he really loathed discrimination. After seeing what the elderly man was doing, he decided to get involved. Ultimately, he concluded he was unable to wait until the end of the flight. He informed a flight attendant of his plan before he did anything else. He finally approached the rude passenger after this.
Dealing With Him
He said he went up to the fat-shamer, according to Chase, and kept insisting on switching seats there and then. At first the old man was confused. He asked why, under the impression that Chase was trying to give him a better seat. That Chase was quick to set the record straight was a good thing. He wanted to ensure that his behavior would embarrass the old man, which is why he said this.
