Airline crashes are. And at least in this country, when an aircraft
diverts due to drunken passengers, that's reported too, as are reports
of passengers being arrested on non-diverted flights, celebrities or
not. Personally, I'd want to make sure I was never on a flight with
Penelope Cruz, but I might be in a minority.

In the United States, it's illegal to board drunk passengers.

And it's against the policy of any airline I've flown on. Did you have a
point, caller?

It's illegal for drunk persons to board in the United States. But perhaps you
live in a country with no such safety provisions.

Perhaps you don't have a brain. Drunk people board flights in the US,
regardless of the laws in force, including the US case I mentioned in
another post you responded to.

I'd find a place for her to sit...

Do airlines actually allow her to fly any more? I suppose you're allowed
to go bonkers on an aircraft if you're famous.

Then perhaps they should be prohibited from serving alcohol as well.
I know of some flight crew members who would welcome such a change.

So, if someone gets a headache they shouldn't give them an aspirin
then genius?

Are there airlines that actually sell aspirin aboard flights?


I've been on several flights where the FAs gave (not sell, you moron)
aspirin to passengers who asked for them. Only in your brain dead world
of
MSFS does that not happen. You're an blithering idiot, Anthony.


Isn't he though? Just another idiot who would like to impose his
stupid views on everyone else.

Pot? Kettle? Black?

So why don't you take a vote of all airline passengers and see if they
want that? You probably will find at least 5 out of millions that
will agree with your absurd views.

I'd go for it. And make the sale of alcohol anywhere within the airport
illegal as well.

So join his club of social outcasts then.

What's "social" about dunken slobs on an airp[lane..?

So everyone that drinks on an airplane is a drunken slob huh? Funny,
I haven't seen one onboard in years.

Because you haven't been sober in years to notice.

Here's one for ya...

And why do you keep injecting "everyone" into this..?

I know this happens occasionaly, but I fly at least 50-60 times a
years and the last time I saw a real drunk on board was on a flight
between Sydney and Fiji about 1976 or so. In first class no less,
where they handcuffed the guy and threw him off in Fiji. In my
experience, young children are much more of a nuisance.

It's not that important to me.

Actually, a significant segment of the public doesn't drink, and a significant
part of the remainder probably doesn't like the idea of people getting drunk
on aircraft.

Probably this, probably that. Where did you ever get the idea that
people that don't drink care where others do. I drink little and I
don't care.

People who drink alcohol rarely or not at all aren't that exceptional
in the United States. And even those who drink may not consider it a
smart idea in the confined space of an aircraft in flight, where
drunks can cause serious problems.

BULL ****!

When he's not wanking while playing MSFS, Anthony is too drunk to have a
point.
