Rowdy passengers in brawl on Ryanair flight
This reported of a Ryanair flight from PIK to TFS today on the Evening Standard website,
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...cid=spartandhp
2 things need to happen as a result of this.
1 Those allegedly involved arrested and detained.
2 Should any of those present themselves at the check-in for their return flights they are told in no uncertain terms they will not be allowed to fly, and they have been banned from flying with Ryanair for life. Other airlines should also refuse them carriage. How they get home is their problem.

Mind you, I once sat next to a high ranking officer (in uniform) belonging to the armed forces of a very large country of the western hemisphere. During the flight he emptied a one litre duty free bottle of burbon by diluting the coke with it that they were serving him... No one dared tell him how totally illegal his action was! The worst about it was the he didn't offer me any...
Ban sale of Alcohol in airports and on planes. If you wish to buy alcohol the airline will have it ready for you to collect on arrival. This would actually make a huge difference as no more carrying of a couple of hundred kilos of booze on flights.
Appalling behaviour - life-time ban for total lack of respect for the etiquette required for flying as a passenger.
Obviously us pilots can continue to behave disgracefully.

Drinking one’s own alcohol onboard is not illegal,
Alcohol or Drugs — Passengers
- 602.04 (1) In this section, intoxicating liquor means a beverage that contains more than 2.5 per cent proof spirits.
- (2) No person shall consume on board an aircraft an intoxicating liquor unless the intoxicating liquor
- (a) has been served to that person by the operator of the aircraft.......

A fine line, but I see the nuance. I imagine that a flight attendant would refuse to handle or serve alcohol not owned by the airline. Refusing to serve it to the passenger owner of the alcohol creates a dilemma of "I won't serve it to you, nor return it to you, I know that you own it, but I'm keeping it for now.". I can see an argument arising out of that. Best avoided entirely by insisting on serving only airline alcohol.
The next line of the same regulation reads:
Though not a factor on a commercial flight, this was a problem when I was crew on a corporate Piper Cheyenne, and the people in the back brought booze aboard, and got terribly drunk, while we flew. The Captain and I declared that we served zero booze, we were flying. The drunken passengers asserted that they were the "operator", and as it was their corporate aircraft, that was a little hard to argue back at them. Ultimately, the wise corporation declared that people onboard were "working", and as such may not consume any alcohol, so it was banned entirely from the plane, though as said, but company policy, rather than regulation.
The next line of the same regulation reads:
(b) where no flight attendant is on board, has been provided by the operator of the aircraft.
Don't open airport bars until 11.00 to stall this sort of behaviour. Simple.
If the tattooed shorts-and-T-shirt-clad morons needs five pints of lager at 05;00, then they won't be fit to fly. They could be blocking my exit in an emergency, never mind causing anti-social cabin problems.
Not going to happen though, is it...

To a first-class or business-class passenger? Of course she (or he) would not refuse. I fly bizjets and we have had customers who only want to drink certain types of Cognac that cost nearly 500 Euros a bottle. No airline serves this kind of stuff, not even in first class. So if they want to have it they will bring it themselves. Also in Canada.
