Two US Flights Diverted After Unruly Passenger Incidents

Wish articles like these named the passengers rather than allowing them anonymity.

Maybe during the preflight safety briefing they should include pointing out the legal ramifications of becoming an unruly passenger on a flight. Might just bring the thought of it to the forefront on everyone’s mind. You can’t talk to any phone representative these days without first hearing the fact that any abusive language or rude conversation won’t be tolerated.

You put 100 or more people together anymore and the odds are 5 of them are drunk or stoned and 5 others are just plain nut cases.

Welcome to the forever "No Fly List"
The Airlines, and Law Enforcement need to do something about these
A-holes.

The first case is ridiculous, absolutely no need to turn the plane around.
The second case, make the pax pay the cost of the emergency sliders deployment.

The Hawaiian airlines flight was particularly unlucky with the incident it had. The disruption happened around 2hrs into the HNL-SEA flight. That would put the aircraft nearby the equal time point, in this case just before it. That means the crew had to deal with the disruptive passenger for at least another 2.5hrs more as they needed to turn around and fly all the way back to HNL.

Time to require manadatory brigs on all trans-ocean flights. Equipped with straight-jackets.

As the article states, since the pandemic this problems seems to have gotten worse. Since you have to deal with the currenrt situation of increased potential neurological problems among passengers, the cabin crews need better training and tools to quickly subdue disruptive people, along with reminding everyone before the flight of the consequences of disruptive behavior.

Bring back them air marshals.

Maybe airlines should be doing alcohol testing before letting passengers on the plane!!!

This is what you get when all of the Greyhound Bus Line passengers start using airlines for travel.

It should be in the terms and conditions when booking the flight, IN LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS, and as an on-flight statement before the safety briefing before take off, that any passenger(s) causing disruptions on any flight should be MADE to pay, by law;
1. restitution to the airline for further expense incurred for damage to the aircraft,
2. the cost of refuelling,
3. reimbursement to the airline for having to compensate the remaining passengers for the inconvenience,
4. any personal injury caused to other passengers or crew member by/as a result of the unruly/drunk/stoned passenger(s) actions.
5. given a permanent "No Fly" order for life for EVERY airline in the WORLD, not just the one on which the incidents(s) occur.
When I first flew;
a. drunk passengers were NOT allowed to board an aircraft. If the boarding desk staff could smell alcohol on the passenger's breath, it was enough to prevent boarding, confiscate their ticket/boarding pass and be handed over to security to escort the offender away from the airport building. Their hold luggage was unloaded and handed over once they were out of the building.
b. duty free items were delivered to the plane, not given to the purchaser, and only handed over on disembarking the aircraft.
Why/when where those rules changed?

Maybe Mister Trump will start deploying National Guardsmen on every flight?

There needs to be training on the use of duck tape and/or tasers!
