Brawling pax!
Fight on Auckland to Wellington flight
11:06AM Monday August 06, 2007
A fight erupted on an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Wellington this morning.
It is understood the brawl started between two people as the flight came in to land.
It escalated when others became involved.
Police were waiting on the tarmac when NZ417 touched down, a passenger said.

A tour bus full of tourists visiting New Zealand stops by a farmer holding a sheep. One of them calls out "are you shearing?".
The farmer yells back, in an unhappy tone 'NO, **** off and get your own!'

Don't you just love great journalism?
Yep, it usually takes two people to start a brawl. It's a bit difficult for only one person to accomplish. And these things usually do escalate when other people become involved.

The great trans tasman rivalry reaches dizzy new original comedic heights! Imagine that! Jokes about sheep and stretched vowels. Sux.Seeks.Penn.Pin.Fair suck of the sav sheila. Woy is it called Woy Woy?. etc etc ad nausem. I wanna hear more about the Biffo.

Passenger apparently didn't take medication and got a bit agro at the guy sitting next door. Had to be restrained by cabin crew and a couple of other "sane" pax. Imagine that happening on a Beechcraft

Surprised it doesnt happen more often especially on long haul in cramped quarters and a free flowing supply of booze at altitude? Surprised after all these years there hasnt been an all out riot involving nearly everyone somewhere in the world (although I suspect there must have been).
Agreed the last thing youd want is a nut/druggie running loose in the cabin..... especially in the 1900 where the cabin is the same thing as the cockpit anyway.

Few years ago I got onto a flight in Whangarei for Auckland - Bandeirante I think. During an election campaign, maybe 2000.
Sitting up near the front was Winston Peters and across the aisle an opposing candidate.
Captain comes to give the pax briefing, does his spiel and then looks at Peters and the other guy: "you two shut up, don't look at each other, don't talk to each other and keep your hands to yourselves". Turns and gets into his seat and we're off.
Nobody batted an eyelid!
