I am gobsmacked. A $400 smack on the wrists? If (and that is a big IF, unfortunately) this story is 100% accurate, then the whole legal system is a farce.
I will only add - knowing the quality of journalism these days, I'd hold fire on the issue of the "Captain" confronting the pax in the galley. That's what the newspaper told us. In reality, it may well have been a male cabin-crew member, who knows? Not that this
pr!ck could likely tell the difference, nor most pax, sadly!
It would indeed be a of major concern should an independent investigation determine that the Captain did, in fact, come out and confront this guy! Then again, maybe the skipper sent out the cadet, sorry, the F/O.....
