I wholeheartedly support Enforcing the jailtime for anyone who commits a violent act on an airplane. Frankly, any mode of public transportation! Often we hear of people being escorted by the police off the plane, and then nothing else. Are they simply having a wrist slap? These workers are there for our safety and there must be consequences for verbal and sexual assault, spitting, defiance of rules.
while i appreciate the advice to passengers, this person was either mental or a violent sociopath. Youre pretty much preaching on deaf ears as 99.999% of people have no use for such advice
The fact that airlines will surely use this to justify more restrictions on the general public is tragic. do they punish the entirety of society when someone loses it and murders someone? no they do not (yet)
Sure this case is the extreme, but what you don’t realize is it has become more and more prevalent for passengers to believe they have a right to be aggressive, belligerent, and disrespectful towards flight attendants. This has been building up gradually over the last decade. I have 2 longtime friends who worked for American Airlines for over 35 years and retired early because of this little known fact. It happens more than you know because you don’t hear of it until it’s an extreme case.
What are reasons fir such violent behavior, other than drinking? Why so many cases suddenly? Simply limit folks to 2 drinks period!
Aloha BOH Bro’s
It’s me Rich, surprised, probably not.
I’ve got experience dealing with US Government Attorney’s. If a US Attorney has this must interest in making an example out of you, this guy is really screwed.
I mean really screwed.
And the reason you wouldn’t make an example of him and anyone else who threatens a passenger jet en route?
We can only hope they finally get off their behinds and Do something about the situation and Then not let the news media bury it under other more ratings getting stories.
Mahalo Jeff and Rob for your stellar reporting.
It’s my opinion that ANYONE who attacks ANYONE, especially any of the flight crew, should be banned for life from any airline on the planet!! I’m completely serious. They should be put on a Terrorist watch list.
Shame on this behavior.
Woe be the person that tries anything on any flight I’m on. It’ll be on like Donkey Kong!
Sign me A Fed Up American.
Aloha Always 🌺🌺
Hi Pam.
Thank you! Delta Airlines says the carriers should share their no-fly lists in order to prevent disruptive passengers flying on other airlines.
Aloha.
Should be shared with ALL public travel entities.
Sounds like we need the return of Federal Air Marshals or the airlines hiring private security to handle these situations. And yes, fines, prison sentences, etc.
Guessing FAM’s have all been defunded.
Disruptive abusive passengers should be banned from all airlines! Put them on a no fly list.
I guess it isn’t only tourists from the mainland who are a problem.
At least he wasn’t called a ‘Local’ in this case.
We need to stop labeling people as Tourists or Locals.
Idiots come in all sizes, colors and shapes.
Smoking or smelling of marijuana prior to a flight will also get you denied boarding.
It would be nice if these people that can’t behave on a plane were placed on a no fly list on ALL airlines.
I survived 8+ hours wearing a mask flying to/from Kaua’i in September. It was a wonderful visit.
