I'm good with that. They apparently ran out of zip ties. Bummer. Oh, and no 300 pound guy sat on her for the duration of the flight. You have a right, with a ticket, to be on that flight. You do not have the right to scare the hell out of most of the other fliers, and to violate federal regulations. And duct tape holds the universe together anyway. It works.

I'd probably recommend gaffers tape, but, tape is tape. Gorilla Tape tends to tear skin and hair.

Skin and hair grow back -- might be a good deterrent not to try it again....

Just ANOTHER crazy passenger that's going to be added to the growing list of people who seem unable to just sit and enjoy the ride from One Airport to another !!!!

This wasn't some selfish jerk refusing to wear a mask or put their seatbelt on. This woman completely lost her shit for no apparent reason. So my question is did you at any point consider a legit medical reason as possible cause then immediately dismiss it, or did the possibility never enter your mind in the first place?

Still don't know...

It's reassuring to know that airlines carry masking tape in their standard emergency response kit.

Probably another case of bad reporting. It was probably speed tape. :-)

“Speed tape”, “duct tape”?
Doesn’t matter, as long as it worked!

These news articles about passengers freaking out and trying to open doors never mention that opening a door midflight is impossible. They should.

The news folk don't know squat about aviation, or much else that they "report" on.

Nope!
They don’t even know the rules of flying!

considering the headlines the past few weeks, the article didn't say which NFL team the woman played for nor the position.

She probably don't need to wax her upper lip in the near future after removing the duct tape :)

This crazy person is actually taped to a Jumpseat!
I can remember using cuffs and tape only once in my 40 year career and that was on a guy that was punching others in the face. When he hit a Marine the party was on!. We subdued him and taped him to his seat with other Marines surrounding him until we landed.
People are just crazier now and feel empowered to get what they want regardless of what impact it has on others.

Dear Mildred:

Thanks for your 40 years. Hope I flew with you.

Considering the number of passengers having to be restrained lately (and as much as I hate to agree with a TikTok account holder) it seems like american airlines could do better than a couple rolls of duct tape. Like four zipties and a mask maybe?

I don't know.

If she was a danger to others as well as herself, I kinda like the duct tape route. Should be made into a large poster as a reminder to the travelling public…….we have signage for just about everything else these days!

Zip ties tend to cut skin. I'm sure some flower child could make a case that zip ties are 'cruel punishment'. Velcro is unreliable. Duct tape, or a harness like a straight jacket maybe?

Maybe they could use drugs? Yeah, some of those drugs are dangerous to use on just anyone, without having a way to determine if they are going to have a bad outcome on them.

Duct tape works...

cuts skin? cruel punishment? too damn bad! That's what one gets for trying to down a plane. Because that wouldn't be cruel punishment to 150 people.

How about putting some kind of law enforcement on all flights?

Bring back the Federal Air Marshals!

Marshals will NOT react to this type of thing. They are on board to keep the C/P and aircraft safe, not to solve crazy people behaving bad. Your crew are trained to take the crazies down.

you don't think someone trying to open the door mid-flight is placing the aircraft or passengers at risk? OK - stay off my plane.

And then many would complain about the increased ticket prices!

that's paid via tax dollars, not airline tickets

And you don't thing think the airlines will add a "security" fee/surcharge?
These fees were sure added to my flights goin in and out of DCA after 9/11.

Link to TikTok video shows completely different video(s). And link to TikTok's user account who posted mentioned video says "this account does not exist on TikTok". What about checking stuff before you putting it into newsletter which arrived 32 minutes ago? ;)

"link to tiktok video" doesn't even go to tiktok... it goes to another article on a completely different news web page.
