Unruly passenger in airplane
Watch this video: http://news.yahoo.com/video/unruly-p...001607829.html
It said that there were 8000 cases like that happened in 2013. Have you guys come across such experience in flight? What ticks off these people? |

One time a few years ago I was chaperoning a youth football team to a tourney in Vegas. I don't do well in tight spots, I guess I might even be a little claustrophobic, but it's never been a problem. Well, we had a layover on the return flight in Albuquerque, and they wouldn't let us off the plane. We sat on the tarmac for like 45 minutes to an hour, and these damn kids started getting unruly (as teenagers will do when there's nothing to do). I felt myself getting a little surly, but I wasn't going to blame the airlines or the flight attendants. Though, I WISH they served alcohol when you are on the ground...would have taken some of the edge off...

With the high amount of human idiocy in today's society, the stress and irritability of modern day air travel, and the amount of human beings on one airplane, I am surprised this kind of thing does not happen more often.

There was a guy kicked off the Southwest plane I was on, last night. He was sitting right in front of me. The flight attendant asked him how he was doing, he said, "Oh, I'm drunk." They had a security guard come onto the plane and escort him off.
There's apparently a new FAA regulation that if you tell someone on a plane that you're drunk, that you can't fly. |

1. People are more rude and demanding these days. And as air fares got cheaper over the past decade, airlines got a little more of the Greyhound crowd that doesn't play well with others. 2. Airlines treat passengers as dollars and not as humans. I'm talking about corporate, not the customer service people on the plane and at the gate. This is about leg room and ticket policies and hidden charges. 3. The airport experience is necessarily unpleasant these days due to security, which increases stress going into the situation.

I think more than half the anger is created by the flight crews and airlines. Between silly delays "for your safety", and those delays being poorly communicated, it's not hard to understand why people who only know there's a "mechanical issue" (which at times is a light bulb) is keeping them from making a connecting flight.
Occasionally I've had pilots who announced the status every five minutes, but more often than not they're more than happy with 30-45 minute updates. And the usually-fat-ass "flight attendants" sure do make those of us who flew in the 60 and 70 long for the days of stewardesses... The angry hungry-hungry hippos they have these days that make up 60-70% of the flight attendants usually suck. Add TSA's useless existence that only seems to hinder the innocent traveler and almost never the terrorist, and you're already pissed off by the time the first hippo has you in their sights! |

For every one drunk that can't handle their liquor and wigs out on a plane, there are probably 99 drunks that just sleep through the flight. It's not like alcohol is the issue.
Personally, I buy the cheapest ticket I can find, so I don't expect the royal treatment. The only thing that makes me think I am getting a raw deal in coach is when I get seated next to someone who's so fat they take up part of my seat. I realize I am flying economy, but I bought 1 whole seat, I should get to use 1 whole seat. I paid like $20 a square inch for this chair, tubbo. Stay on your side of the armrest. |

It might make the person lean in the other direction.
