The $81,950 fine proposal is tied to an incident involving a passenger who flew on American Airlines on July 7, 2021, from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas to Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to the FAA, the passenger "threatened to hurt" a flight attendant who had offered to help her after she fell in the plane's aisle. After pushing the flight attendant out of her way, she made an attempt to open the cabin door. Two flight attendants then attempted to restrain her before she"repeatedly" hit one of the flight attendants on the head. Once restrained she head butted, bit and spat at other passengers and flight crew members. She was detained by law enforcement upon arrival in Charlotte.
The second fine, for $77,272, involves a passenger who flew on Delta Air Lines from Las Vegas, Nevada to Atlanta, Georgia. The agency said that during the July 16, 2021 flight, the passenger tried to"hug and kiss" the passenger in the seat next to her and attempted to exit the aircraft mid-flight. The passenger, who refused to return to her seat, then bit another flier"multiple times." She was restrained by the flight crew.
"Federal law prohibits interfering with aircraft crew or physically assaulting or threatening to physically assault aircraft crew or anyone else on an aircraft," the FAA said.after receiving a letter from the agency. . And while the agency's Zero Tolerance policy may be making a difference, there are still incidents occurring. 1,081 unruly passenger reports, and 707 mask-related incidents on flights this year.
Who needs professional wrestling when you have American airline passengers?
Without the names of the unruly, the penalties are toothless. Anonymity has great value. And they’ll hire lawyers to get the fines deferred or dropped.
A shortage of pilots in USA is causing routes to be cancelled due to shortage of pilots. A South African pilot with worldwide Airline flying experience has to wait 2 yrs for a visa to live and work in USA when he is ready to relocate as Aviation in RSA is non existent! Why?!
The entitlement is through the roof, and shocker it isnt the the “entitled millenial” acting out, its exactly who you imagine when you think of a public freakout. Karens and Kens.
