You’re insulting a DOG? When the Republicans in Congress still exist? What a waste of time.

Nothing can protect you from asshole passengers. Literally hell is other people. I am incredibly laid back so I rarely escalate things but I have had to break up a fight on a plane, subdue a drunk on a plane, intervene in a racist rant on a plane and occasionally, hold the hand of a terrified co passenger to keep them…

This is the reason why the no-fly list was created. Get DHS to permanently ban them from air travel. Either people start to think twice and begin to act civil again, or you just start picking off these assholes one by one until they’re all grounded.

The uptick in violence isn’t really that suprising.

Sooooo, y’all remember how this past year saw an alarming rise in the number of harassment complaints taking place in restaurants? Do ya think it’s possible that the rise in bad behavior is linked to, perhaps, the kind of people who have been totes cool with still going to restaurants, still flying recreationally,…

They already said: Lifetime ban on flying.

The reason is not merely the politicization of mask wearing. The higher incidence of such attacks and behavior is linked to the fact that the majority of people traveling in the last several months (after the lengthy bans on travel) are Coronavirus deniers. So not merely political objection to the mask, but believers…

Conservativism at least used to pretend to be about “cut taxes, small government, religion in public life” and other stupid things like that....but now they have no platform besides “Be a Belligerent Obstructive Dipshit.”

Visitors at work have been extra levels of trash lately and essentially it’s because the sane good people are staying home until things settle.

If I was the flight attendant I would take her to civil court and sue the shit out of her. Ruin her financially for life. Fines that go to the FAA does nothing for the person who just got punched in the face, that money should go straight to the person who got assault (and part to the man who stepped up and defended…

But seat belts are a tyrannical attack on muh freedom of movements!

Yeah, I saw that the perpetrator was going with the “self-defense” argument. Problem is, now that the video is out, it doesn’t really back up her claims.

I’m wondering if this is related to the rise of extra-shitty restaurant customers. Most reasonable people cut back on eating out and flying, so the people who are left are disproportionately terrible.

How many times was “flight to/from Ft Lauderdale” listed for separate incidents? 3? 4?

I think in many cases they do get banned from the particular airline they were flying on, but I like the idea of an across-the-board, all airlines no-fly list for these d-bags. Enjoy Greyhound!

It’s right wingers losing their damn minds. Being a conservative in 2021 means you are proud to be a jerk, proud to be a liar and you are always the victim in any altercation because freedumb.

Amazing how immediately the assaulter’s friend/sister/mother(???) starts accusing the flight attendant of having “went after her first”, which I believe is also the story they’re telling the press. The video is right fucking there.

Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

Fines? That’s it? People who act like this, and especially anyone who assaults a crew member, should be banned from flying for the rest of their lives.

They should be put on the no fly list.
