Good Evening All:

I trust when this goes to court the perpetrator will get the appropriate sentence as this behavior is repugnant and not acceptable at all.

I only hope is Team Teal will fully support the crew member involved.

An unruly passenger is accused of striking a WestJet flight attendant in the face during a trip from Toronto to Vancouver.
The woman began making demands about an hour before flight 701 landed on Sunday night, fellow passenger Darlene Jerome told Global News.
"The next thing I knew, there was a sandwich that was thrown backwards," she said.
"The stewardess came up and touched her gently, and said, 'You can't be doing that.' The lady started yelling at her and said 'You touching me, I'm going to charge you with sexual assault.'"
A WestJet spokeswoman confirmed via email that a passenger was arrested after an incident where a crew member was struck, but could not comment further because it's now before the courts.

So let me see if I understand this, when they board a WJ flight they are a "guest", however if they behave badly they become a" passenger?"

however if they behave badly they become a" passenger?"

Correct. "Guests", "cargo" and "freight" do not behave badly, so that only leaves "passenger" as the noun to describe a less than desirable person...

Perhaps flight attendants should be equipped with Taser guns, so they can turn passengers back in to guests.
Also, they can use the Taser to quickly re-heat cold Camembert in first-class.
