Unruly airline passengers

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.

They should stop landing the plane to boot them out. If they started kicking them out at 35,000 feet there’d be a LOT less incidents in the future 😂

@Mamapolo2016 Not to mention littering the countryside with rapidly decompressed and then very compressed bodies. 🥴

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

@SW-User they haven’t ran any city-to-city specials lately?

@cherokeepatti not the city to city that I plan to travel. Of course
lol

The last chaos on a plane was caused by an off-duty flight attendant. Imagine that. The passengers had to help take him down.

Oh great news, just as I am ready to get on an airplane for the first time in decades. 🤦‍♂️

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.
@Heartlander It's not like the airlines benefit from delaying a flight. Fewer and fewer are capable of [i]reason[/i].

It will be self limiting as the number of banned flyers increases.
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.
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I've seen a couple of reports about that in India.

United Airlines made a video dealing with these issues a couple of years ago. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRqomRdNUrI]

@Carla We've become a nation of "you're not the boss of me."

@Human1000 right? And by god, I will cut off my nose to spite my face.

@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.
