After thirty odd years of teaching at a comprehensive school my wife only have to give them THE LOOK ps it works on me too !
Are the Spanish police less forgiving and Spanish jails worse? Might be helpful if so to finish the flight and get the lot banged up.

This is a guess but I think that the Spanish authorities are likely to overlook such incidents due to the fact that Spain needs every centimo it can get from tourism. As far as Spanish jails are concerned, I have it on good authority, although I have no personal experience you understand!, that Spanish jails are extremely comfortable and well staffed and maintained.
Sunnyjohn,
A Pity!
It really needs them in a good African jail........
but I'm an admitted woolly minded liberal. Guinea, is I believe, a place where jail is somewhat more than uncomfortable, so that might do for them...
if they happen to die there, it saves a lot of problems of repatriation....

Is this what flying is all about these days?
BBC News - Ryanair stewardess punched in face
Is that the best our laws provide for the safety of crew - a stupid caution. Why wasn't this b***h thrown in jail. It seems to me that the law is 'watering down' assaults on crew. This in my view gives thugs the green light to do what ever they want onboard an aircraft.

@crewmeal: I absolutely agree (see my earlier post). This is not only about respect for people doing a job, it is about aircraft safety. Inadequate prosecution gives the wrong message.

Figures I have for 2008/09.
3,529 reports of disruptive behaviour onboard UK aircraft were received by the CAA.
44 of these were 'serious', 29 caused a passenger to be restrained, and 13 resulted in an aircraft diverting (one incident involved both restraint and diversion).
73% of disruptive passengers were male, and 27% female. Incidents of disruption generally fell into one or more of the following: verbal abuse 37%; passengers disobeying cabin crew 28%; general disruptivness 28%; passenger seating, use of seat belts, or passengers refusing to be seated 18; arguments between passengers - often caused by seats being reclined 13%; mobile phone or lap top use 5%; stowage of hand luggage 3%.
7% of all incidents resulted in violence, 44% of which were directed towards cabin crew.
Alcohol was involved in 37% of all disruptive incidents, and smoking was a factor in 21% of which 95% involved smoking in a lavatory.
