When a passenger gets disruptive on board a civil passenger aircraft, why is it necessary to get the RAF to escort it back to an airport??
What is the RAF pilot supposed to do that the crew on board the civil aircraft can't do?
Seems to me to be a total waste of taxpayers money and RAF time and resources.
I hope that the RAF claim back the total costs involved from the airline concerned.
