American Airlines ‘outraged’ after flight attendant allegedly assaulted
An American Airlines flight from New York City to Orange County, California, was diverted to Denver on Wednesday after a passenger allegedly assaulted a flight attendant, according to reports. (www.foxbusiness.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
this is a well documented assault on a flight crew member, with broken bones and lots of blood, done in front of witnesses by a man upon a female crewmember. This is a outrage that the man who did this is not sitting in jail, even though there are questions about jurisdiction here. The FBI has offices and agents in all states, federal prosecutors are likewise positioned, so the Department of Justice ought to get cracking on having clear responses to these increasing examples of passengers running amok. ANother example of the FAA being unresponsive .
The FAA does not control the FBI. And just as with aircraft - as soon as it leaves the ground anything that happens in the air is federal.
There is no reason why these numb-nutted, poor excuse for adults could ever pay for the cost of an aircraft diversion. They should be Federally prosecuted, found guilty and given a non-negotiable jail sentence AND then they can carry around a Felony Conviction on their permanent record to brag about! You do this and I guarantee all this will stop in a month. Except for the ones that belong in jail?
Not only the direct aircraft costs, but for each passenger too. Many have missed flights/appointments, etc., that all have a monetary impact as well.
Agreed but these are the same people who complain about a checked bag fee or a $30 ticket change so you know paying for “everyones” out of pocket expenses for a diversion due to an irate passenger is out of the question.
That's not really the problem of the other passengers. Why should they be responsible for possible hotel accomodations, missed connections and other consequences arising from the diversion?
This has to stop. AA says they will prosecute unfortunately this POS will be let out on no cash bail by a prosecuter that won't prosecute. This crime must be federalized with harsh minimum sentences. In addition, passengers must declare they have no problems wearing a mask on board. If they have a problem they don't fly. If they cause a problem later, then this strengthens the evidence against them.I hate masks and I'm for individual rights and freedoms but when you buy a ticket or enter an establishment you abide by the rules. If you don't like the rule you don't fly or enter the store. The government has rewarded a lack of self control with no punishment and we are paying the price everywhere. Kudos to those passengers that were assisting. Beware the person who tries this on one of my flights. Don't mess with my safety...
