Stricter punishments for passengers behaving badly – CNN
I can’t help but think the airline corporate and the staff on the planes precipitate and exacerbate some of these incidents. How empowering it must be to the staff who cant talk back to their supervisors but have free reign to abuse passengers under the guise of security. I have heard of the mother whose child ran into a restricted area being tackled by an airline employee then her husband who tried to defend her then they both were charged. The airline attendant who told a mother to drug a baby who was crying. Then the passengers who are held on aircraft in holding on the runway for over 6 hours…that is unconscionable.Flying can be hazardous to your health if you have respitory problems, I know airlines have been shorting passengers on oxygen for many years but Southwest Airlines denied it in writing to me when I complained.
Flying coach is a real punishment I avoid flying unless absolutely necessary. Corporate greed is the cause, deregulation is the cause of the poor service.
I think there’s enough blame to go round. While I certainly do not defend the airlines, and I find most of their practices self-serving, certainly NOT customer service centric, it has to be said that a lot of what we read in the media may be fact based, is almost always written in a way to grab reader attention. The media are as much to blame as the airlines themselves. I have a good friend who recently had a run in with an international airline (I’m hoping to get him to guest blog his experience for me) when he advised the airline of his severe allergy to peanuts, and asked if they could refrain from serving peanuts on his flight. This is a request that gets accommodated by a large group of airlines, but not all.
