Very sorry for whatever ‘ails’ him, but you know what we all have issues though few of us act on them and try to harm others. You should only get one chance on a flight; mess up (for whatever reason) and threaten said flight, you should be ghosted and permanently grounded. If he has already been released and again flown, as has been suggested, then that is a joke and says a lot about the current state of our world.

But why would you think it in this case? Surely this is not the first time the couple have flown. So any underlying condition to set him off seems a bit ludicrous as a reason for his actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they should go a step further and have very powerful tranquilizers on board to just knock the guy out, so handcuff him, knock him out with tranquilizers. When they land there should be a mandatory prison sentence of 10, perhaps 20 years. Flights are one of those areas where you need a certain amount of order and security, there's just too much that could go wrong lock him, and too many people are affected by a numbskull like this guy. I think passengers over the age of 14 or whatever age required to have fly unaccompanied should have to sit for an online course followed by a license exam. This in order to board any plane. The subjects to include their rights, responsibilities and important stipulations of the treaties and conventions adopted by ICAO member states. If they misbehave fine them and suspend their license for an appropriate period of time. Airlines are mot interested they just want “bums on seats” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still have fuel in them as well. They have confiscated quite a few of mine over the years. They are not allowed on planes. FYI: Confirmed on TSA website. They are very specific about matches and lighters. Not allowed. Edited December 2, 2023 by cjinchiangrai 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try riding in planes full of Americans. Liars with fake service dog?. Karens who fight you for looking at them. Trespassers who refuse the instruction to deplane the aircraft when their paid seat is no longer available. Kids these days development appears to be delayed and many have no or bad role models.

Kids these days development appears to be delayed and many have no or bad role models. Flying in the states does sound like a nightmare... everyone so bothered about the slightest slight and demanding their rights, genuine or perceived... but it probably seems that way because of social media... That said - the US airlines do seem to treat customers terribly... 'the paid for seat' issue you mention is a perfect example... Perhaps thats social media again - but it seems customer service of the airlines in the US quite terrible. The 'kids these days' comment is a bit boomer-ish... Kids these days are fine... Again, we see the outbursts on social media or the 'naughty ones stand out' and we don't notice the quiet well behaved ones... I fly a lot and when deplaning I'm often surprised at the amount of kids on a flight that have been 'unnoticeable' because they are well behaved.

GinBoy2 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The long term consequences are yet to manifest. Regardless of his legal and financial liabilities for his little escapade, his name will filter through the system and he'll end up on a bunch of airline 'No Fly' lists. Best he start planning on his next road trip from Munich to Bangkok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyguy Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 If he kicked off just a few hours into the flight why did they fly all the way to Indian before ditching him, That must be 8-9 hour flight from Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(getting laid, sweet waves, "partying") But your anecdote of 'you'... means nothing on the general scale of your implication that kids these days are worse than they used to be with delayed development and no role models.... A lot bias comes with such opinions and is often backed up when viewing the worst of the worst on social media... It would seem there are many older folk from every past generation who'd argued 'kids of today.....' etc etc... but really, if kids of today were worse than kids of yesterday then after 100's of generations of behavioural degradation only the evil would be left... unless of course the opinion was that 'their generation was the peak of manners, respect and behavior' which of course is flawed thinking. The reality is - kids are no worse than they were 'back in the day'... its just that many older folk like to moan about kids because they look back on the past with very selective memories... they always have and always will and hence we get the 'kids of today... ' type comments made by those who haven't really critically considered what they are trying to state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire in an airplane is life threatening. and then there is failure to follow aircrew instructions. Surely as a bare minimum he is guilty of that. and an apology is sufficient punishment. SMH Hold on! Dont be so quick to judge! Could be that he suffers from schizophrenia or manic depression which can also cause paranoid delusions, and forgot to take his medication.
