Drunk Passenger Headbutts Flight Attendant Over Face Mask Policy

7달 전 제출됨

A Ryanair passenger has pleaded guilty to criminal damage, assault and entering an aircraft while under the influence of alcohol following a drunken rampage on a flight from Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, to Manchester, England last month. According to the Manchester Evening News, 24-year-old Daniel Hendry refused to wear a face mask and was seen with an open bottle of vodka that was "three-quarters consumed" before he later headbutted a male flight attendant on the January 29… (www.travelpulse.com) 기타...

Time for airlines to mandate valid passports for travel. A nice reminder that any bad behaviour that results in denied boarding, forced de-planing and forced intermediate stops due to unruly passenger (s) will require the airline to notify all government agencies worldwide, USCBP included. A no-fly listed pax will have to apply and get interviewed before reinstatement. Safety and civility has to be the norm not the exception.

Because of the COVID restrictions between the UK and Europe, they could not divert and stop at another airport on the way to kick him off.
So the flight crew had to put up with him the whole flight.

Needs to be international law: Assault flight crew, you are grounded for 6 months. Do it again: Life.

Stop coddling the idiots. Stop ignoring the problems that will surely come in the near future.

You get ONE strike. Blow the next one and you are out. Life's a bitch. Can't control yourself, you take a boat, or You Do Not Go!

No Assholes. No toleration of them. I wouldn't ban drunk people. I'll need a few shots of 'courage' to take a flight on a 'Max'. But I sleep. NO fight in this one.

Pax was not necessarily drunk when he boarded in Spanish territory (Tenerife). Could have bought vodka in duty-free and its a four plus hour flight. Could have started drinking in the a/c. Might not have wanted to wear facemask so he could continue drinking.

Handling duty free is apparently not very consistent. I've had duty free confiscated upon entering the plane, and other times they have been fine with me keeping it. I don't know if there are regulations that apply in certain circumstances, but if the guy did have duty free, why did he have it? Good question... The last time I flew, they duty free had to be placed in the overhead bin, and we were not allowed to remove it from the bin until we landed. (And then someone from TSA was going through the line telling people they had to toss their bottles because they 'wouldn't make it through with them'.) Several people actually DID toss their bottles. I'm sure it was a plot for the employees to get free booze.

We just went to the 'bottle check', and were cleared and kept our bottles.

But other flights, all the duty free was held at the front of the plane, and we claimed them by name/ticket. *shrug*

Even duty free also jil should have to remain sealed. It would certainly help avoid these instances.

Robert, as you said duty free protocols. I've been in several scenarios where I had access to my duty-free during the flight.

I wonder why at least two people downvoted my observation. Does anyone have an explanation ?

I think it's because you appear to be making excuses for him Frank and there just is NO excuse whatsoever

Thanks Alan. Now I understand.

To clarify,I was not excusing this behavior. I have had bad experiences with drunken pax, among others, drunken American adolescents on BA flights from EGLL to KPHL. Such abhorrent behavior is not limited to any nationality.

I was explaining how a pax might have access to excessive quantities of alcohol. Unfortunately some people, including some Americans, cannot control their use of this drug.

As Robert said above there seem to be different protocols over access to duty free items during a flight. If duty free, or any other, alcohol, irrespective of where purchased, was not permitted to be carried by pax with their cabin baggage, and was to be collected by them only on disembarking the a/c, consumption would be limited to only such alcohol as might be provided by the carrier's flight attendants.

Not only is a glass bottle in the hands of a pax a potential injury hazard, but a quart or more of overproof (for example 151 proof rum, available in the Caribbean) is a very serious potential accelerant. These days it is risky to allow pax access to such items not just for safety considerations, but much more importantly, on security grounds.

If you read the post again, you'll see that he had an almost empty BOTTLE (liter?) of vodka. I don't think it was one of those one-shot bottles. The fault falls on security screening.

I take that as tailoring things for the 'lowest common denominator' -which is an unnecessary handicap to the 99% who are competent, considerate, and compliant with the rules and regs..... With freedom comes responsibility, some fail and miserably, like this individual. The FA's didnt serve a full size bottle of Vodka, BTW- it had to have been brought onboard. Zip tie him to a seat......

Recor10 I have my own ideas about wearing a mask as well but I will follow the rules when in public places or when requested just out of respect for others. You will not see a Single person without a mask in public places over here in THailand. And I just put it on before I enter the place or leave my house.

The 'actual' main protection from wearing a mask is to prevent the person wearing it spreading airborne particles when coughing. Wearing it to prevent inhaling them is very dependent on the mask and how it's worn. Since the first SARS outbreak, it is very common in Asian countries to wear a mask when you have a cold, so you don't give it to other people. A courtesy that hasn't made it into the western world yet!
