Frankly, the unruly passenger should be removed from a flight no matter what the reason is for their unruliness. They are a potential danger aboard the aircraft. Besides, since the aircraft is private property the flying public must follow their rules no matter which airline you’re flying. No one has a constitutional right to fly just like we don’t have a constitutional right to drive a car. Your PRIVILEGE to do either CAN be revoked.

It all depends upon what the definition of "unruly-passenger" is. At this moment in time it seems to be anything the cabin crew feels they don't like. So my feeling is no, not until there is a clear and reasonable definition.

You will know unruly when they sit next to you.

David Loh -1
There IS a clear and reasonable definition. It is in all the crew's manuals. As long as the crew "Considers" the pax as unruly for any reason, the Pax is Unruly. No debate. For example, a boarded pax, who is a doctor going to a scheduled surgery, sitting in his allocated seat waiting for departure can be ruled "Unruly" and dragged off the plane merely for refusing to give up his seat to a "Positioning" crew due to a cockup by the airline.

Violent & obnoxious passengers are not just an unwanted distraction & annoyance for the other passengers, they endanger the safe operation of the aircraft, but returning to the departure airport or diverting to another airport is expensive for the airline & a major inconvenience to the other passengers, especially those who may have a short time to catch a connecting flight.

It's only a fantasy solution to be sure but the pilot could just bring the aircraft down to 8000 feet or so & "deplane" the passenger/s engaging in loutish behavior.

I mean don't be cruel or inhumane: put them in coveralls a bike helmet & googles, strap them into a static-line opening parachute & give 'em a bottle of water.

Are we just going to wear masks forever now? ENOUGH already!!! Let people friggin breathe.

In my country we all wear masks because we trust our govt (do YOUR people trust YOUR govt?) when it tells us wearing masks helps to REDUCE (as much as possible) the spread of the virus. It helps us protect ourselves and people around us from the virus. I NEVER EVER once had problems breathing, or fainted, or anything, even while going on a brisk walk (I don't jog, bad for the knees). So, why do you say you can't breathe through a mask? How about a surgeon operates on you Without wearing a mask because he says he can't breathe with a mask on? He wears the mask to protect YOU!

There is no reason for anyone to be disruptive on a commercial airliner. And if they decide to do so they should be carried away to jail plain and simple.

Let’s use some common sense here. If a small child refuses to wear a mask it’s because they don’t understand and may be frightened by it. They are NOT UNRULEY passengers.
Mike101361
Lloyd Sharp 4
I do believe that an "Unruly passenger" for WHATEVER reason(s) they become Unruly, should be permanently banded from flying. They should loose that PRIVILEGE, and be placed on the No fly list. They endanger not only themselves, but everyone on-board the aircraft. I am very intolerant of passenger(s) becoming Unruly. There is no room allowed for anyone who doesn't feel that they are subject to the rules that the rest of us follow-- Not on-board an Aircraft.
If any passenger(s) give my Flight attendants any sort of grief....they are off the aircraft.
Think about this....If a passenger doesn't feel / believe that they are subject to the rules of normal behavior...How do you think these people are going to behave in an Emergency?? They endanger everyone's lifes!
No room for people like this on an Aircraft.

Good Job, FAA! It's not that hard to wear masks, so thanks for keeping it mandated!
chiefaviator
chiefaviator 3
Well here is the issue.

Studies have shown the masks that are "mandated" have no significant effect in protection or any virus.

And the "mandate" specifically does not allow any real, effective protective masks to be worn on flights.

So while I do not fault the FAA for being strict with disruptive passengers, the mask "mandate" is far from a "good job". More like a political side show.

I never cease to be amused at those who insist a medical team wearing a mask during surgery is somehow "different" from wearing a mask in public to limit the spread of an airborne pathogen.

Study medicine, then you’ll understand there is a big difference. And surgeons don’t go into theater with a virus. Bacteria is something different that masks do help. Read the studies by Dr. Blaylock, neuro surgeon

Blaylock was a thoracic surgeon. He developed the so called blue baby operation.
clandel
Carlisle Landel 1
Hey Carl, you don't need to study medicine, you just need to look at the scientific literature. Here, I'll help you out: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=effectiveness%20of%20masks%20against%20covid

I'll give you a short version of the review of the literature: N95 masks are approximately as good as surgical masks are better than cloth masks, with effectiveness of cloth masks varying in effectiveness (not surprisingly) by quality.

Now, if you are arguing that cloth masks are not 100% effective at preventing viral spread, then you are of course right. But they are clearly not 100% INeffective.

If you persist in claiming that masks are useless because they aren't 100% effective, then let's test the logical limits of your argument in a way that is relevant to this forum.

Pilot training does not prevent 100% of air crashes due to pilot error. Do we therefore declare pilot training useless?
chiefaviator
chiefaviator 2
Well the obvious question is why do NBC personnel not just wear an N95 mask when dealing with viruses instead of expensive suits and masks?

And why doesn't the FAA allow the use of actual protective mask be worn by passengers?

It's a good thing the illegals crossing the border aren't trying to fly across, because what would they do? It's a conundrum.
The President says "come on in, who cares about COVID (or Polio, for that matter)", and the FAA say's you will go to jail without a mask.

You're missing the point too. We are ALL descended from immigrants.

They sure missed the opportunity to stop the steal of their land, and death of their culture. Instead, they allowed those people to stay, and they spread like a virus... Yikes...

Do not relax the mask rules. Its hard enough to fly with coughing or sneezing people around you with colds, or obnoxious loud people and crying babies, but COVID is not something to get relaxed about. Let's act like adults and just do what is the best for everyone until we can get through this. People who don't follow the rules need to be taken off the plane.

Its a matter of protesting forced compliance with BS that is unnecessary, never scientifically verified as necessary, and where there have NEVER been any data that air travel has ever resulted in meaningful disease transmission except in very small sporadic case reports. The Covid numbers absolutely clearly show that in the aggregate masking and all the other forced requirements did NOTHING to stop the epidemic. The paradoxically caused the US to have the WORSE numbers. You would think that would raise questions. No the government burocrats dont want to be questioned. Could masking actually make things worse - absolutely, you get a mild case and keep rebreathing your own infested air, then of course it might very well set you up for severe pneumonia. Furthermore it is crystal clear that in exceptionally well ventilated places like airports and planes the risk of transmission even without masks is extremely low. The danger is vastly greater in minimally ventilated homes and apartments and in ICUs with heavily infected coughing covid pneumonia patients. The rest of this is ineffective unnecessary BS to placate the irrationally narcissistically fearful and the childishly compliant that apparently believe everything they are told and whose imaginations are too constrained to imagine thst there might be far better far less intrusive focused solutions.

If you follow actual science, when a virus mutates, it becomes weaker.
A virus is already dead. It needs help to “infect” you. Something has to help it enter your system.
You have a wealth of information at your fingertips, but obviously you prefer to be spoon fed the narrative from MSM.

You are an idiot. Where did you get your degree in Immunology? Trump University?

Virus mutations can go either way. Just the fact that the South African and UK variants are more contagious, and infecting younger people put a bullet in the head of your statement.

All this virus needs is a higher degree of lethality, and it could be the end of humans on this planet. And if it's not this virus, it could be the next one. (There will be a next one)

I guess the best part of the deaths from this virus is that people that think it's a fraud are likely dying at much higher rates, and those that have severe cases of it, and 'recover', are less likely to follow the illogical and insane bleating of the 'pro-death' crowds.

Rupert Murdoch figured out how to market hate to stupid people. It used to be that 'sex sells', but who knew that hate sold better. Hat sells people out of their jobs, out of their homes, out of their healthcare, out of their place in the economy.

While you absorb Fox News and their lies, the ultra rich laugh their asses off. You are making their job of upending the country so much easier, and you are too full of hate and false self righteousness to even see it! Congratulations. For everyone that thought that Trump was the 'useful idiot', they underestimated the 'uneducated people' that Trump said he loves so much. They are so blinded by faux rage, they will escort the new aristocracy in, and willingly walk themselves through the door of the slaughter house they setup.

Enjoy your hatred, the heady rush of screaming at people smarter than you that they are 'Nazis', and 'elites', as the country crumbles and falls on your neck.

Mr. Cowling, That says it all. You are one of the very few who understand the big picture. Unfortunately, you are arguing with brainwashed morons. You'll get nowhere. The U.S. has the highest disparity between the wealthy and the poor; the highest maternal mortality; the worst health care; the worst education; the highest rate of its citizens incarcerated than any other advanced industrial nation.. But the Fox brain washed idiots, who for the most part have never read Karl Marx (or likely any other book) are the firs to call any attempted changes in the corrupt kleptocracy of the rich as "Socialism," or, God forbid, "Communism." As for the morons who refuse to wear masks on aircraft or anywhere else, think of it as Dawinism in action. More of them will end up in ICU's (on the public dollar) and die. Perhaps Covid is God's way of improving the gene pool. It desperately needs it. Unfortunately, there's a lot of collateral damage.

What does my having money (or not) have to do with anything?

Would you trust me more if I lived in a $100,000,000 mansion, rather than living in a $30,000 mobile home? I read an article that had a surprising minority conclusion that I found amazing. Undereducated people tend to trust, and believe, what 'rich people' say more than the same ideas coming from 'poor people'. So it was an interesting moment of clarity for why so many uneducated people were blindly following the most corrupt, and corrupting, person to ever run for president. I was stunned, actually. What a bizarre effect in the human psyche.

And people without a 'pot to piss in' continue to show him with money and attention. People committed federal felonies based on the outrageous LIE that the election was 'stolen' from him.
