I was on a flight from Melbourne to Darwin the other day and there was a young lady who was somewhat affected by something, not sure what however her behaviour and language was quite abnormal, even before we got in the air.
Once we got airborne, I had a few words to the cabin crew about the lady whom they were certainly aware of. The lady calmed down for most of the flight and flared up again as we approached Darwin. Subsequently no problems, however there was an opportunity to return to the gate in Melbourne to have her offloaded IMHO. I have no idea what the flight crew knew, however if I was the Captain and knew how this lady was behaving before we departed I would have had her removed.
I haven’t contacted the airline with regards to this event, however I’m pretty sure the cabin crew would have reported this event through their normal reporting SMS/SOPs.
Any comments?
