I had to spend my two days of during the next month in court as the pax sued us for whiplash and God knows what else, the judge was not impressed and gave him a large fine for deliberatley ignoreing a lawfull order.
Thank you for the explanation, and I am pleased the judge stuffed in in that fellow's eye.

Beyond that, I'll comment as I like, given the crap sandwich air travel has become in the past ten years. It sometimes takes an observation or a comment to evoke the response that leads to enlightenment or understanding.
@ Juud: thanks as well.
