With all due respect there is no debating the said passengers were in violation of Federal Law in refusing to abide a crew direction. On this ground alone they can find themselves not only on an airlines “No Fly List” but also the Commonwealth Governments “No Fly List”. My advice to them is to admit their wrong doing, apologise to all those affected and promise they won’t do it again because if they do decide to pursue their perceived rights, it could very well blow up in their faces.
