Unruly passenger in airplane

[Msmith]

Watch this video: http://news.yahoo.com/video/unruly-passenger-arrested-allegedly-causing-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?

[BullJunkandIron]

Old cranky flight attendants set them off.

[Prison Bitch]

I've never seen one person misbehave over probably 200 flights.

[Dante84]

Fuck the entire airline industry.

[Msmith]

This was a really scary encounter: http://www.kgw.com/news/Plane-with-unruly-passenger-makes-emergency-landing-at-PDX-248858451.html

Need to go back to the days of the hot stewardess. Now dumb hot chicks have no alternative to stripping.

[Mennonite]

maybe there was something on the wing.

People generally don't understand how severe the penalties can be for this sort of thing, and being drunk or grumpy is not an excuse. They probably think that maybe a cop will sternly warn them and they'll be let off with a slap on the wrist. The penalty for "interfering with a flight crew" is EXTREME compared to what little you need to do to break that law. If you simply block the aisle and ignore requests to return to your seat, you can be fined a whopping 25 grand.

If you are stupid enough to actually assault a crewmember, that carries a maximum punishment of 20 years and $250K. (life if a weapon is involved)

It doesn't matter if you think you are treated badly or you think you are in the right, just sit down, shut up, and obey all commands until you land. Feel free to complain to the airline, write letters, go to the media, or whatever after you are off the plane.

edit: oh and you won't be going to a local court, you'll be handled by the FBI and charged by a federal attorney.

I've only been on one flight where a person got arrested, and I didn't even notice it happening.

I've also never been seated next to an attractive female (spousal flights aside, of course). Tonight's flight was completely typical. On my right is a woman who looks like a man and has a weird and disturbing laugh, and on my left is Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

Jim Jones would have enjoyed your flight.

[Rain Man]

Jim Jones would have enjoyed your flight.

Actually, I kind of wondered that, except she had a husband on the other side. But even then it wasn't completely out of the question.

[Psyko Tek]

eww, you sat in the middle seat?
always thought rainman was in first class seating

[Rain Man]

Aisle seat, fortunately. Comic Book Guy was across the aisle from me.

[TambaBerry]

I've sat next to hot girls a bunch of times. Even got a girls number after a flight.

[Dayze]

the man's not made of Dane money for god's sake!!!

[Eleazar]

What possesses people to act like idiots like that? A mind-blowing sense of entitlement? Are they all drunk? Even if they are drunk, I can't imagine being drunk and acting like that. Then again I can't imagine anything that could possibly happen on an airplane that would cause me to shout and rave.

[SeeingRed]

You have to be kind of stupid to lose total control of yourself in an airplane because you KNOW you are getting arrested. Having said that some flight attendants are straight up assholes and don't help matters :-/

You would be too if you had to deal with some of societies finest every day...

[Eleazar]

I have never had a flight attendant be rude to me. Then again I'm never rude to them.

[Reerun_KC]

I have never had a flight attendant be rude to me. Then again I'm never rude to them.

Me either. I airline all the damn time and yet have had one be rude or cranky...


But then again I am not a lifetard when I get on an airplane either... But most broke dicks feel that when they purchase and airline ticket that they automatically become someone or something of importance. No you are not important you are a still a lifetard broke dick on a plane.. Shut your low rent ass, take your drink and peanuts and shut the fuck up...

The amount of stupid I have sat next too on plane is dumbfounding.

No kidding. You're not some celebrity. You're cargo.

[Why Not?]

Amazing how it works like that. In most life situations.

[Reerun_KC]

exactly...

Hearing them bitch about the seats, service, drinks, luggage or lines, etc... That shit gets very old. Either buy a 1st class ticket or charter a flight if you are so fucking entitled in life...

You bought and coach/economy class ticket. Sit down, STFU and listen to your ipod...

[Lzen]

Last flight I was on a few years ago they made us wait after landing to remove a passenger who ignored the no smoking rule. While he wasn't unruly, I'm sure he probably got a big fine.

[Donger]

I've only had it happen once and I've probably flown a thousand times.

Flying from SAN to DEN on a 10:00am flight. A man and woman get on the plane very late in the boarding process. He sits in Row 1 and she sits behind me in Row 4. After taking off she starts yelling his name. He just raises his hand up. The flight attendant kept coming up to her and whispering. She eventually settled down and was quiet. It turns out she was very drunk and passed out. When we landed, the FA woke her up and told her she wasn't going to be allowed on the next leg of her journey.

Pretty mild, really. But, HTF do you get blitzed that early in the morning?

[Nzoner]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

[Nzoner]

Speaking of drinking and planes we once flew Southwest to Vegas on St Pat's Day.A sold out flight,last flight of the day and pretty much everyone already hammered and somewhere over Denver they announce there's not one drop of booze left on the plane.:eek:

No one got unruly but if there was ever a possibility.

Southwest 358: Denver Center, Southwest 358

Denver Center: Go ahead Southwest 358

Southwest 358: Roger, we have a bunch of drunk assholes up here heading to Vegas, they are cause quite an issue with the flight crew. One guy keeps calling himself Ozoner or something and says he knows how make flaming aids shots , requesting vectors and assistance.

Denver Center: Southwest 358 change call sign to Con Air 1 and squawk 3541

Southwest: Changing call sign squawking 3541

Denver Center: Con Air 1 change heading to 180 and change routing to read. Direct from present position joining Ironhorse NDB approach into Fremont County, expect radar vectors next sector.

Con Air (formally southwest): Roger, left 180, direct to Ironhorse NDB.

Ozoner (formally Nzoner) gets off plane, looks around...... This is Vegas?

So how did the story end? Did you call her?


I've told the story before, but my only unruly flight story is from many years ago, back when Southwest had the rows of seats facing each other. My boss at the time and I ended up sitting across from a guy who had lost both legs and one arm when trying to jump aboard a freight train as a hobo. He was suing the freight train company, because of course this was clearly their fault, and he was on his way to the trial or some other legal meeting.

He was not quite lucid and was ordering alcoholic beverages and claiming that my boss was a celebrity, so when we had a stopover in Phoenix we switched seats at my boss's request. Personally, I found the guy entertaining.

Apparently on the next leg of the flight the alcohol started kicking in and he ended up hitting a flight attendant with his one remaining arm, so they kicked him off when they landed. I don't know if he was arrested or anything. I never even noticed anything happening, and I think we found out from the stewardesses or something.

With a name like "dingleberry"? Bullshit.

I wonder if he sued the airline

[InChiefsHeaven]

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.

[teedubya]

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.

[Marcellus]

This was a really scary encounter: http://www.kgw.com/news/Plane-with-unruly-passenger-makes-emergency-landing-at-PDX-248858451.html


The affidavit included a statement taken from one of the FBI agents who arrested Rogers. Agent Jake Green said Rogers told him "things were bad" and the "people on the plane were evil." He said Rogers also admitted smoking purple hash before boarding the plane and said any gang signs he displayed "were for Jesus."

You cant make this shit up.

Yeah, it's a challenge on multiple fronts.

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 want to see a report compiled on how many times alcohol prevented some stressed out travler from round housing a pissy flight attendent for nothing else other than she/he hates her job and likes to take it out on people. Or prevented some guy from losing it because he was seated next to a Jehovah's witness that won't shut up about being saved or losing it because of a baby screaming for 2 hours straight or one of the other million reasons to hate flying. I know it's saved me a couple times and I doubt I'm the only one.

[GloryDayz]

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!

[Eleazar]

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.

Well, when that happens, I always fart a lot. They always think the fat guy did it...
