Passenger plane diverts after family bust-up onboard

I found this in the papers today.  Now how can we stop this type of thing from happening?  Is it time to look at banning alcohol on flights? 

What would you do to stop this? Have you had disruptive passengers and what did you do?

A packed plane was forced to make an emergency landing after a drunken British passenger allegedly became involved in a bust-up with his wife and father-in-law at 30,000 feet.The pilot of the UK-bound Virgin Atlantic jet had to divert to Canada after cabin crew said a male passenger was being 'disruptive' and had been drinking and arguing with relatives.

You could not believe the things I have seen when I was cabin crew on a charter company. I have seen fights, mile high club joiners and people trying to open the emergency exit.

All the major problems I have seen have been alcohol related. Alcohol should be treated as a controlled drug, as dangerous air cargo. What the airlines do is pour it down people until they are in a stupor. If anyone boards a plane drunk they should be off loaded.

This makes me so mad and these idiots are destroying the profitability of the company!

I found this and it made me laugh....And Trolley Boy it was CABIN CREW!!!!

A "mile-high" sex romp on Australia's flagship airline, involving a female employee and a male passenger, is under investigation, the Herald Sun reported Friday.

Sources said the pair were sitting side by side in business class on a Qantas flight from the Australian city of Melbourne to Los Angeles on October 6 when passion got the better of them.

The woman, not a flight attendant, was traveling to the U.S. on a discounted staff ticket and drank several glasses of champagne before the incident.

Passengers complained when the pair began to get intimate after the cabin lighting was turned down during the 11-hour trip, with the two apparently trying to hide the encounter beneath a blanket.

They were ordered to desist by the senior flight attendant, then ordered to sit in different sections of the plane.

Qantas said: "The matter is being dealt with. The employee has returned to work."
