Reported on the Manchester Evening News website:
Jet Pilot Dumps Drunk on Isle
In case the article disappears, it is reported that Monarch flight ZB558 en route from Manchester to Tenerife on Wednesday had problems with a drunk/abusive passenger, so ended up diverting to the small island of Porto Santo in the Azores to kick him off.
The tone of the article suggests that the Captain personally frogmarched him down the steps, and left him on a virtually deserted island - I think both angles have a lot of journalistic license, but it's a wonderful image!
Well done to that crew (though it's a shame they had to put up with the idiot in the first place).
