Why don't they just ban them from flying for 5 years, then 10 then forever?

The ones who caused a disturbance should be banned. But how to tell who's going to be the next troublemaker?

[ToraToraTora]

you don't but at least you can take those that do out of circulation and deter most.

[ummmm]

I doubt much will change. They might just get stricter with who they let on.

[sandyRoe]

I never liked flying. A row kicking off would make it seem like hell above earth.

I just watched the video regarding that Tosh guy: Your Police are just too, too polite and almost apologetic...Wow.

[Tilly2]

They were being filmed, Stuey. That might make them a tad more polite.

[Zacs-Master]

It's the way of the world Tora. The vast majority are penalised for the actions of a very small minority. Again, we agree. Crikey.

[stuey]

Good point, Tilly.

[Tilly2]

I thought they were very restrained when he spat at them. Fat, drunken slob!

Who is Lord Ahmad?

[Zacs-Master]

He's the first Life Muslim peer and has, on occasion, done some very strange things, allegedly:

[sandyRoe]

Could he have just come off a flight where the refreshments were flowing too liberally when he did that?

[ToraToraTora]

not entirely sure how that would absolve him sandy.

OH Yeah, ! Two airline pilots ,about to fly an aircraft with many passengers on board to Canada, just a few weeks ago, were taken of the aircraft and made to take a breath test = result Positive, Eejits, Why don't they ban them from flying for 5 years then 10 then forever. And they were Flying the aircraft?

[ToraToraTora]

[Khandro]

I wish to volunteer to be part of the examination.

[gulliver1]

BINGO!

[Zacs-Master]

The drummer in Banana splits?

[gulliver1]

sorry TGT, did not mean to upset you. LOL.

I don't fly these days, and its unlikely that I ever will again. But being stuck at 30,000 feet with a drunken twit like that Scottish guy fills me with utter horror.

If anyone turns up for a flight and is obviously drunk, then he shouldn't be allowed to board the aircraft.

I understand the Scottish slob was sentenced to 9 months in prison, which sounds good but lets not forget that he ruined the flight for everybody else.
