A Delta Air Lines flight's unruly passenger shows how we apply frontier justice in the skies

Maybe they could start installing a larger, human-size version of the sonobuoy ejection tubes that are on the Navy's patrol aircraft. Then the cabin crew could just pop them out the bottom of the aircraft.

The aircraft CAPTAIN used the intercom to ask for all able-bodied males to help subdue the disruptive passenger. Being the captain, and therefore the ultimate pilot in command, seems to me that his request while in the air is has the same authority as a ship's captain at sea to direct anyone he or she deems capable of helping to solve a problem.

Oh yeah, what a good idea.... keep the whole class after school due to one misbehaving kid.

FedEx Express retires world's last MD-10-10 freighter jet

A tribute to those who designed her?? What an idea... don't count on getting the families of relatives they lost on AA191 out of KORD or United UA232 due to those designers being dumb enough to route both primary and backup systems through the same engine areas, creating a single-point failure whenever metal starts flying around in the engine area.

I share your opinion -- the L-1011 was by far a better aircraft, for sure from a safety design standpoint, and from the relative ease that custom STCs could be added for private customers. If Lockheed had just managed to beat MacDac to the market earlier enough, in my opinion we'd see a WHOLE lot more L-1011s having the long lifetime that the DC-10 has had.

Flight attendant loses 2 teeth in assault by passenger

Mental health services? Really? Don't waste my tax money on someone that just can't control themselves - period. A long stint in a federal prison and both criminal fines and a big civil suit award that bankrupts her sounds about right to me.

Belarus Scrambles MiG-29 to Divert Ryanair Flight to Arrest Opposition Leader

Or as an escort for just a bomb threat.

But the flight info suggests that Vilnius was the "nearest" airport.... so the ATC person must have meant the nearest Belarus airport (so the guy standing behind him wouldn't shoot him in the head...)

And I'll bet those 4 passengers had their KGB tattoos well covered...
