Aviation Herald is full of tales of flying idiots causing a flight divert. The guy walking up and down the aisles smoking a joint, the drunk Miss Russian giving lap dances, the mad hatter trying to open a door at FL320 etc.
I wonder, do airlines ever go after these PAX to recover the cost of diversion using a civil lawsuit? Or is this just written off at the cost of doing business. Never came across any such news reports.
If it's worth making me pay for $3 packs of peanuts surely a $100k diversion damages lawsuit must be good pickings? Or not?
