23 yr old girl vs 50 yr old frequent flyer
Hi bealine,
i absolutly agree with you concerning your scenario.
As flightcrew its my primary target to remove her/him at departure or even at a diversion airport (wouldnīt hesitate at all), or at least have him/her seated in a backrow for the reminder of the flight, even restrain him on the galley floor to guarantee the aircrafts and passengers safety.
But the drunk in an emergency row would have been a big mistake by the crew(!), same case with disabled or elderly in this row (donīt want to put them on the same level, the one chose to drink, the other one didnīt).
I am the last guy who accepts any aggression, even verbally on the plane.
As a pilot, my responsibilty ends here. What follows is my opinion as a pedestrian.
Concerning the POSTFLIGHT jurisdictional point of view, I still believe it is a BIG difference if a 50 yr old frequent flyer in First Class is the aggressor, or if it is a 23 yr old girl in Eco on one of her first long-haul flights.
