In-flight bathroom emergency leads to felony charge

[doh]

The flight attendant is going on her third divorce...

OMFG! A virgin?

 

[Mr Wu]

If he touched the FA and moved her arm away in any way, he's toast...

We just cannot have passengers assaulting crew members.

She touched him first, some people would call this self defense.

Also, from the legal dictionary...


Generally, kidnapping occurs when a person, without lawful authority, physically asports (i.e., moves) another person without that other person's consent, with the intent to use the abduction in connection with some other nefarious objective.

If he touched the FA and moved her arm away in any way, he's toast. Too bad, feel for the guy, he was probably desperate to go, and not in the aisle.
However if you recall ever having to do the rectum squeeze, how would you have the ability to do close combat with a woman at the same time?....

We just cannot have passengers assaulting crew members, even if the crew was unreasonable or uncaring...he should plea and do community service....

She touched him first. I wonder if there is a policy on physical contact with passengers.

Agreed

 

[Speedtape]

Touching anyone--unwelcome--could be considered assault and battery.

 

[belchfire]

I think the FA should be reprimanded for having no common sense.

Her, Delta, aircraft manufacturers that place lavs at the opposite ends of the aluminum tube and so on. There are generally emergency exits in the middle of the aircraft aren't there?

Why not lavs?

 

[Headfake14]

you are all assuming we are hearing ALL the facts and hearing them correctly. The media will twist it the way it wants to.

 

[relief tube]

If I got poo dripping out my butt, I am moving whoever is in the way.

if thats what happened, then the dude shouldn't have been arrested for moving an arm. 2 nights in jail?- I'd hope you do a lot more than that. I thought most when they go up the jetway with a cop just get a talking to.

This flight attendant is some snide fat bitch who needs to be given a training job. She deserves all the ******************** that is coming her way. A flight attendant should never put her hand in the way of a much-needed bathroom.

Once again a Cat Hearder makes more work for others then she accomplishes!

 

[Speedtape]

I guess he could have been immune from prosecution if he had simply "Declared an Emergency" due to Dire Physiological needs. His behavior conforms to the legal question, "What would a reasonable person do?"

If he has the right lawyer, this will turn into an embarrassment for this airline. The flight attendant attempted to do her job, however, she ignored his plea for relief. This was mismanaged. Even some of the original statements about the FAA rules were not accurate.

Power trip FA. Nothing new. If it's not taken out on a pilot then it's a passenger. They look for opportunities to take jabs in an effort to boost their deluded minds.

 

[acaTerry]

They tolerate passengers grabbing their butts all day without claiming harassment, but they defend those lavs like they are gold, and risk physical confrontation for no good reason.

Nope. You can't get sued for tolerating ass grabbing. But if someone violates the seatbelt sign, etc, and gets hurt, a lawsuit WILL rule in favor of the plaintiff. The courts are full of them. BTW do a search on "seat belt" in the ASRS database before you guys call the FAs nazis.

I've noticed most airlines have "blocked" the front lav for the first class passengers. This guy obviously was in need. I'm tired of old galleyhag flight attendants who take out their own pathetic lives on passengers.

After all, its not like the front lav is any different than the rear lav, unless there is a golden throne up there I don't know about.

Woman in lav during severe turbulence breaks her neck, now paralyzed, seat belt sign was on. I'm sure a lawsuit will be coming.

That's horrible. Hopefully it's not permenant.

I have flown as a passenger and been caught in a similar situation as this pax, but fortunately there was an understanding FA and I didn't have to assault her.

Could someone tell me why many airlines leave the seat belt sign ON until the airplane reaches cruise altitude? This is without a bump. Did I miss a reg change ? From push back to level off, that can be over an hour at some airports.

I can't imagine standing in the boss's way if he wants to go.

+1

It seems anymore that at the first little bump someone's hand up front is going Mach 3 for the seatbelt switch.
