Flight attendant loses 2 teeth in assault by passenger
A Southwest Airlines flight attendant was assaulted by a passenger and lost two teeth in the attack last weekend, according to a union president, who complained to the airline’s CEO about unruly passengers. “Unfortunately, this is just one of many occurrences,” said the union president, Lyn Montgomery. She said there were 477 incidents of “misconduct” by passengers on Southwest planes between April 8 and May 15. A Southwest spokesman said Tuesday that the incident happened Sunday morning after a… (www.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Very Sad that people have no respect
Ladies and gentlemen...please secure your seat belts and loose items around your seating area. We have a passenger who will be leaving our flight at flight level 280. It may be a bit windy in the cabin for a few minutes.
In the meantime... we'll be showing a movie: Gone With The Wind.

It is a sad trend to see all of these violent acts accelerating over the past year and yet the answer to the problem is this, people are sick and tired of mandatory masks from the moment they set foot on airport property until they leave. It is enough that we give up our rights the moment we enter the airport and must go through ever lengthening lines of security to be subjected to warrantless searches on our bodies as well as our property and then herded into the waiting areas like sheep to be cajoled by masked employees treating the customers like so many sheep.
It is time to treat people with respect, treat them like the customers who fund their salaries and pay for the fuel, airport, and even the security protocols. It is imperative that the TSA end these requirements as per the mask for good and all. Masks were never intended to be worn for a lengthy period of time yet these archaic rules prevail in the flying industry. Oh yes, until the mask requirement is ended it is important for passengers/customers to show respect to the airport employees as well who have the duty to enforce these onerous regulations and it behooves the customer to bear in mind that the airport and airline employees are doing what they are required to do, ie, make certain everyone has a mask and is wearing the mask 'properly' though these employees should never have this requirement as part of their job description to enforce these archaic regulations
That is my suggestion as to how to end the problem of people becoming unhinged on aircraft.

Mr.Finn. Valid points. Fortunately..I have pre-pass. I think that all of this is a sham. But they have discovered that people can be controlled, easily. I respect the employees of security, airports, and airlines. Sheep? Exactly.
"Warrantless searches"?
Take all 169 members who commented on this post and put them on a flight together. What is the over/under that they get off the ground before a fight breaks out?
this act is outrageous, and all the commenters who come up with their personal ideas about proper punishment could remember there exist statutes, rules, regulations on the books that if fully followed result in unpleasant and costly results for this offender. The FAA rule about interfering with a crew member and that penalty for example. Just don't water down the penalty, and that ought to be a signpost to future duplicators of this kind of action is costly and to be avoided.
