Best guess is you're probably right..if it is now as it was "back in the day" the crew ( ground and aircrew) would have been in the Q shed anyway, and they can possibly put ticks in a few training boxes and also get a few hours in towards the Wing Commander's DFC
as a result of the scramble so I reckon the overall cost would be pretty small.
That said I'm still all for throwing the book and bookcase at the disruptive passenger.
