I fully agree.
Failure to be heavy handed on these Covidiots (I liked that term when I heard that one on the other passengers had called them that!) will erode the trust of all the decent travellers and that will help to bring the industry to its knees with resultant loss of jobs. No excuses, that heavy hand is vital. Some lengthy jail sentences would be very useful. Why let a handful of brainless yobs wreck so many peoples' livelihoods?
(And film them for evidence if need be. I don't care if they haven't "given permission" to be filmed. If I was in that situation of being a decent fellow pax, or crew, I haven't given them my permission to wreck my livelihood.)
Yob free aeroplanes will be one of the best ways to build up confidence in air travel.
