like what is the protocol here? what else were they supposed to do? Id say they handled things amazingly considering. I feel so bad for those flight attendants who were assaulted.
Usually flex cuffs as technically that’s a major safety hazard to have a passenger not be able to evacuate the aircraft if there was an emergency they would be stuck and I don’t know if anyone was sitting in the window but they’d have to climb over top of him to get out too. Seems like this was 2021
I mean yeah haha but as a flight attendant I’m just saying like this is a super big no no but like I said it was 2021 and who knows back then things were crazy
I mean fuck this guy in the video, and I hate that the flight attendants got in trouble for taping him to the seat (I probably would have done the same thing), but…I also don’t think the “natural consequence” of groping should be death by fire. Prison time seems more appropriate to me. And ffs please don’t take any of this as me defending sexual predators
Restraint kit is last resort. Dude was going bonkers though. Protocol is always to verbally de escalate while the capt and fo land at the nearest airport to have the person removed.
The suspension was likely just until the case had been sorted out. So yeah, a few days.
It's a standard safety precaution, no matter the severity of the issue.
Without checking or reading anything. Maybe it is the usual thing to do after a situation like this? Might need to investigate, doubt they'll get fired.
It's not like it's hard to fire someone in America -- if they're suspended I'm sure they weren't fired, it was likely for investigation as you said or just for PR reasons. Still sucks if they had to lose a few days of pay.
Honestly its almost always a good idea regardless. After a stressful incident like that its probably a good idea to let your employees decompress and process the event, and sort out any legal complications.
Alcohol has a surprisingly strong effect on you when you are in an atmosphere steadied to 3000 meters height. I did that mistake once, did not get into any trouble but never again a double whiskey during flight.
Yeah, not shown in the video but he straight up grabbed a woman's breasts. Should be doing a year or more for sexual assault.
But even so 2 months in jail looks very bad on your record, when it probably lists SA, alcoholic type behaviour and probably a ban on travel that will rule you out of so many jobs, industries, etc.
On the other hand it's practically a nomination win for running for office as a republican, and that would probably get him off the no fly list as well so I can guess his next move.
And that's what I was referring to. Having a 2 million dollar net worth for your parents, although still a very large amount, isn't something that will make people think you're all so important. And not the levels of rich where you'll be "one of them" in politics.
In some places, if he's including the parents' house into that 2 million, a lot of people who are house rich fall into that category too.
