The airline industry says if the current increase in unruly, problematic passengers continues, they are on course for [b]SIXTY TIMES[/b] the number of annual incidents over previous normal.
Cause some of these flights are cheaper or quicker than riding a Grayhound bus to get where they are going. Imagine having an entire plane full of typical Grayhound bus riders and the chaos that would ensue.

@cherokeepatti they’re definitely not cheaper. Airfare has gone up near 40% from this time last year
We've come a long way. I remember 4+ hour delays on the taxi-ways in sweltering heat where everyone just kicked back, visited with one another, and exchanged life stories ... and no incidents. A few times 6+ hours waiting for takeoff.
I believe it. I also expected that the healthcare industry in places w/socialized medicine are having the same problem. In fact, pretty well everywhere that they treat customers like crap, they are probably having to deal w/angry, abusive clients.
@Carla Laid off crew members, for months; now called back to work ... like shuffling the deck and a new hand. But that's the entire industry, from commissary to the cockpit crews. I imagine there are quite a few who are going back to work with an attitude.
