She got nowhere near being able to storm the cockpit! How would a petite drunk 25 year old alcoholic be able to gain access to the cockpit?
Also even if unchallenged, would that same drunk, alcoholic female be capable of opening an emergency exit at FL300?
Blown out of all proportion from start to finish including scrambling fighter jets as an escort.
This young woman has a history of alcohol abuse and crimes associated with its effects.
A heavy custodial and or financial sentence will do nothing to castigate her for something she probably does not remember too much about.
A short custodial sentence suspended if she attends very regular AA meetings, miss one or two then put her inside.
More needs to be done to monitor in flight drinking!
