KENNYR
How do you know that the passenger was being obnoxious?
Please remember that, technically speaking, touching another person is an offence of assault.
I read the full article and unless the newspaper misquoted to law enforcement officer, the other pax interviewed gave the same explanation as the passenger.
I have seen an employee terminated for a very similar action to what is alleged to happen here.
Yes, CC deserve respect and support, but they should act professionally at all times.
