I dread flying on planes these days seem so overcrowded I usually pay for first class just to get little more room and less idiots like that usually alcohol is the cause of most of this.

People who cause a flight to return to airport or chanhe destination for non-medical reason should face severe fine and/or 30 days in jail. It is a huge cost to airline and completely disrupts schedules of fellow passengers.

Should have at least strip them both naked and force them to run down the aisle while the others pelt them with refuse.....that's the least they can do to make up for the inconvenience of others disrupted travel plans.

You are very kind. It is expensive for the airline and the other passengers.

More like mandatory $5,000 fine or six months in jail.

1. $5k fine
2. 6 months in jail
3. Strapped to your seat for the duration of the flight. If you continue to disrupt, you will be tazed.
4. Get over yourself, sit your azz back down, stay there and shaddap.

Your choice.


Jeez, with all the noise, commotion, etc it sounded like a flying animal kennel

True and some revel in causing problems... 15 minutes for fame.

Flying comes with enough interruptions without people adding to it.

I remember my Grandparents flying to see us kids for the first time in California...

Bad weather in San Francisco caused their flight to be diverted to Los Angeles!!!

Another time we were flying and strong head winds resulted in a unscheduled stop in Bangor to refuel...

It does seem flying is little more than riding the bus today with all that entails...

I don't know. I would have to watch the video, which I will admit I did not, but it seems anymore anything is a "disruption" if you do anything at all other than Goose-Step like you're a nice little comrade and the airline crew are Joseph Stalin. I totally agree that people shouldn't let drama mess up other people's lives, but sometimes I get the sense that it's like we're little kids in class having to mind the teacher or like it's the atmosphere of the "Soup Nazi" in "Seinfeld." No one wants to be treated that way, flying should be pleasant and everyone should be pleasant to everyone period.

Then again, I've flown three times in my life, twice in 2004 and once in 2007, with no issues, so I don't have much experience to base my thoughts on.
