Travel boom puts US on track for most unruly passengers ‘in history of aviation’
Travelers, newly-liberated from lockdowns, are bringing both luggage and bad attitudes on their trips out of town. As of June 29, there have been over 3,000 incidents of unruly passengers on planes, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with nearly 500 investigations initiated. In comparison, there were 146 investigations in 2019, prior to the start of the pandemic. (finance.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Commercial US air travel is a bus trip, it only takes a few crazies' to screw up the flight for the rest, if its not on the plane, its in the terminal. glad my days of flying the " Friendly Skies " are over and my flights are just in my J-3 with the doors off on a warm sunny day at 1000 to 1500 feet VFR
Travel boom has nothing to do with it. The problem is selfishness and being self-centered. People have no respect or consideration for those in authority or others anymore because this behavior is being allowed and even condoned.
I'm risking downvotes I bet, but wondering if it's a generation thing factoring into this.
Is this really surprising? People have forgotten how to act decently since being locked down for a year. It's not just on airplanes....there's been a lot of video of people acting like idiots at sporting events. A whole lot of pent up energy coming out in ridiculous ways.
America.
Who knew that getting them to wear something over their mouths and noses would drive them so easily and completely insane? I traveled the end of April, and was damn glad no passenger let their mental illness effect the two plane rides I took. I had dreams the night before of having to restrain an irate 'passenger' who was freaking out endangering everyone on the plane. And also confronting a passenger who refuses to respect the rest of humanity by wearing a simple mask over their nose and mouth for 3 short hours.
But I totally agree with the current end of alcohol sales on some carriers flights. It should be curtailed on ALL flights, and in airports themselves too! Alcohol helps people procreate, and be flaming butt heads. Sure, it helps calm some people, but for others, it's a stick of dynamite, ready to go off.
The TSA should distribute handcuffs, and ball gags to ALL planes, and more marshals should be on suspect flights. They need to stop babying these fools...

I have seen some of these new f/a's being confrontational and trying to enforce what they perceive as their right to POLICE the aircraft and then I watched one go to the aft and he was asleep when I went to the lav. I think some of them need to return to the class on being nice. I flew for 40 years and we used to see lots of dumb people but we didn't confront, we tried to handle it with a bit of sugar and a smile.
I hate to go by air these days and drive whenever we can.
