A Sky Marshall (Aircraft Bouncer) would at least have taken the flak off the Flight Attendants on the aircraft, probably have been the one assaulted and both sides of the fence involved would probably quite happily 'Hang this Person Out to dry'. Maybe they are not a bad idea after all.
May I add to what Grantm has said
Whilst I do not agree with a lot of what MOL has stated, in my opinion he is putting forward a different point of view which he has chosen to stand by and defend. I can not see where his opinion is offensive in anyway, it just differs from the majority, which does not make him wrong. If we only had one point of view the forum would make very pretty reading and everybody could slap each others back and say how good the aviation industry is.
I have also listened to this subject being debated on the radio where general members of the public have viewed their opinion and MOL is not alone in his line of thinking.
