Jenna Talia you are correct, I am an F/A, thanks for your support!

I am aware that part of our job entails dealing with people who are nervous fliers, and often people seek to deter that nervousness via a combination of sleeping pills/alcohol/assorted medications etc. Unfortunately, this combination can occasionally turn an otherwise rational person into someone who has the potential to endanger themselves, the a/c, the crew, or the pax around them. Obviously from a crew point of view this needs to be dealt with swiftly but appropriately - as the CX crew apparently did in this instance.

With no disrespect to anyone who suffers from a fear of flying, I still agree that the magistrate made the correct decision, but again I reiterate that I don't believe terrorism should have been mentioned in the judgement, as it was not relevant to the case.

That said though, I am no legal expert and am not attempting to sound like one!
