Flying The Gestapo Skies: Woman arrested for refusing to delete unflattering video on airplane.
I take the bus. Much easier and cheaper. Going from small town to small
town in 800 mile trips is just as fast. Just make sure you get in line cause having a ticket doesn't always guarentee a seat. wrote: http://consumerist.com/5036981/jetbl...rrested-for-re fusing-to-delete-an-unflattering-video-recording ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Really? 800 miles by Greyhound is just as fast as 800 miles by plane? I don't quite believe this is the whole story. I doubt she was "arrested" for not deleting a video. |

I don't quite believe this is the whole story. An hour and a half to drive to the airport. Three hour check in. Three hours in delays. Two hour flight. Hour bag claim. Hour and a half driving home. 12 hours. I doubt she was "arrested" for not deleting a video. She was in fact arrested, so you don't have to put it in quotes. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

I don't quite believe this is the whole story. An hour and a half to drive to the airport. Three hour check in. Three hours in delays. Two hour flight. Hour bag claim. Hour and a half driving home. 12 hours. half of your 12 hour estimate involves check-in and delays. Quite an exaggeration. Give us an estimate of the bus trip that includes such gross exaggerations! 1-1/2 hours to and from bus station (3 hour total), getting stuck on freeway: what? maybe 4 hours? plus 14 hours driving with rest stops. That's 21 hours. I drive an 800 mile trip rather than fly, but I would never claim it to be just as fast. It's just easier to have my own car once I get there. And I can take all the luggage I want. |

then a flight of 800 miles would probably last half an hour, That's 1600 mph which would rip the wings off your DC10. Don't you mean 2 or 3 hours? ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

I doubt she was "arrested" for not deleting a video. I don't. However, the crew was on extremely thin ice. Federal law prohibits passengers from assaulting, threatening, intimidating, or interfering with crewmembers. It does not prohibit passengers from refusing to obey unreasonable commands unrelated to safety of the flight. The same is true for disobeying the captain. If this were not true, then crewmembers could give any command, including those that violate passengers' civil rights ("all blacks aboard must move to the rear of the aircraft"), with impunity. This lady obviously didn't assault anyone. She made no threats. The only intimidation that occurred was of the passenger by the crew. And she didn't interfere with any duty of the crew. As for operating an electronic device, if they were at the gate, no restrictions apply. And if anyone else was operating a video camera, the crew would have to explain why this passenger's video camera was the only one presenting a danger to the flight. And so on. The captain is the master and commander of the flight, but his orders must also be justified by safety, and not arbitrary. Additionally, until they leave the gate, the captain isn't in charge. The number of abuses by crewmembers seems to be increasing exponentially. |
