>>Woman's occupation described as "door person". What kind of a job is that? Is that a polite way of saying bouncer?<<
Yep, that's it and perhaps predictably, she alleged that it was a case of racial profiling. From the article below: "She had claimed the crew were picking on her because she was black."

Woman bouncer jailed for headbutting airline crew

An air passenger who was challenged about smoking in the lavatory on a transatlantic flight has been jailed for nine months after she lashed out at cabin crew.
Zoe Campbell, 27, a bouncer, made her fingers into the shape of a gun and threatened one crew member, Vanessa Martinez. She then scratched a second, Lisa Johnson, and headbutted a third, Mark Whittaker, and Ms Martinez on the Airtours International flight from Florida to Manchester.
The captain considered turning back the A330 airbus, which carried 350 passengers.
Yesterday Campbell, from Withington, Manchester, who had been travelling with her son aged 10, was sentenced at Minshull Street crown court. She had pleaded guilty to charges of endangering the safety of an aircraft, affray and interfering with the performance of cabin crew in an incident last May.
John Wishart, prosecuting, said Campbell became abusive soon after take-off. "Her language was appalling. She was warned as to her conduct and things generally settled down until three hours into the flight." She then became abusive after the smoking rebuke. She had claimed the crew were picking on her because she was black.
Judge Adrian Lyon told Campbell he regarded her as being of good character. "It's difficult to understand how such a person behaved as you did on this flight," he said, but only a custodial sentence could be passed for such behaviour.
