East Coasters??

It is true that I've had more behavior problems with passengers from the Northeastern parts of the USA (NYC, Philly and Boston). One schizophrenic gentleman on a Syracuse flight comes to mind. They can be a challenge.

However, I've had more drunks flying out of Las Vegas and Reno. But my favorite episode occurred in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Prior to boarding our ticket plucker (puller) FA came into the cockpit to explain that we had a possible "overserved" passenger in the boarding area. He told us he was going to board him last and explain to him that if he didn't behave himself he was going to miss his flight.

Later on our FA came onboard laughing to himself and he told us that when the "last" passenger walked up and said,"What the hell's goin' on?? Why the f--k am I the last to board!?", our FA just said,"Buddy, you just said the wrong thing." and called security to send escort him out of the boarding area.
