One of the flight attendants became understandably hysterical during a Hawaii flight diversion this week.
Mahalo Beat of Hawaii.
I really appreciate your putting a spotlight on bad behavior on a plane. I remember many discussions about passenger etiquette, now it’s fighting. How far we’ve fallen.
Question, is it acceptable for a passenger to intervene in a situation where another passenger is acting out?
I’m asking because that nonsense doesn’t sit well with me and I’d seriously like to help subdue an irate idiot on a flight. It’d totally make my day!
Zero tolerance here.
Aloha and blessings always!
I don’t understand how unruly things get but after flying to Greece this summer I became aware of what you have to go through and I’m surprised they don’t have more medical emergencies when they pack everyone like sardines without air conditioning in some of these airports. Arriving in Chicago was a nightmare, endless lines, no air, slow processing through customs and then trying to find connecting flight was a nightmare. Seriously gives me anxiety about taking another trip. 😫 I was so hot and miserable I thought I might pass out at any minute but I drew strength watching mom’s having to deal with small children and figured if they were tough enough to do this with kids surely I could hang on, barely. The same from las vegas to Toronto the plane and gates were so far without any moving walkways I thought for sure I would miss my plane fortunately I got lucky again. And barely Made my flight. I am not tempted to go anywhere after this nightmare trip, just thinking about the seats being so close and tight, it seems like the seats were smaller and closer. Anyway, those are just the biggest problems but after seeing people running through the airport to catch a flight or people sleeping on the ground because their flight was late or canceled gave me hope that at least that wasn’t me to add to my anxieties.
It seems like there’s a free for all on behavior everywhere.
The airline industry does not care how much the customers are inconvenienced to help them pack the planes and save money. They cancel flights, reduce non stop flights and pack the plane customers in tiny seats with little or no leg room and little or no food. Of course people get cranky. We need standards which airlines need to be accountable to meet. There should be airline financial penalties when they fail to meet the established on ti e and comfort standards.
Fly Singapore Airlines, Quatar Arlines or many other non-US airlines and you won’t have that problem and if you fly to Hawaii, take business or 1st class if you need more space. I fly economy with American Airlines from Washington, DC for $300 and I don’t have any complains!
They should give vets, retired cops, strong guys the seats by the exit doors and say to them, if an incident occurs are you willing to help. If an incident happens and they assist, voucher for free airfares. Flight attendants stand back and watch the big boys handle the idiot.
Note, many flight attendants are bada$$es already. Including women. They are highly trained and 99.8% of the time can handle their situations perfectly fine.
A couple of years ago we flew from Honolulu to San Jose with the entire University of Hawaii football team who were playing at Fresno State. Some big boys on that squad. Needless to say their were no passenger incidents on that plane. Safest flight I’ve ever been on.
Yes, no surprise. They were probably Hawaiian ….Aloha!
World’s gone crazy. Xanax, one tablet per flight; per customer, should be taken by every passenger over 16 years old, per flight! I’m seriously——-silly!! They are no answers for mental illness, in the air or on land!
This behavior is not found only on planes. Just yesterday I was told a worker at Costco asked a person to move to the next line. As this was her job to ensure all lines are moving. She got a replay; I will go in any f—- line I want. This person had worked there some 25 years and never came across such unruly behavior. I wonder if the attitude change in people is a fall out from the vaccination crap the world has been given. Seems disrespect is more prevalent in today’s society.
Why stop at a no-fly list. Jail time would put a stop to a lot of these behaviors.
Some people if they have some fear, doesn’t matter what, condition, their brain snaps, just for a moment, they have no control of them self, that is when they do strange things, not really realizing.
No. They have no discipline because too many American parents think it’s their job to just make their kids happy at whatever they want to do, with no limits or boundaries. I know. I’m a retired teacher.
Yes, and then they release them to the world!
Civilization is just a thin veneer.
Perhaps we are just rats in a maze?
