Sense of Proportion
Agree with some of the posts that this matter seems to have been totally blown out of proportion. If anybody needs to be dealt with it is the petty council officials who saw fit to take an ill judged remark like this to the police.....hmmmm me thinks they were getting there own back because the individual concerned had the temerity to question their authority. I also agree with some others that just as these council employees were guilty of the big I am approach...many in aviation including pilots and groundstaff....can be guilty on occasion. We should show the same degree of realism and understanding when pax make unfortunate and stupid comments in the heat of the moment. A moment without thought should not condemn anyone to a criminal record, except where actual physical harm takes place. As others have quoted 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone' Myself included!!!!!!
