Flight diverted after NYC woman - drinking, smoking, screaming racial epithets, and punching a flight attendent in the face - now in jail facing a maximum of 250K fine and up to 20 years in prison.
Now picture her with a drink, a cigarette, swearing racial comments - and swinging fists.
‘Years ago’, there was an airline Nordair with a small fleet of B737’s here in Ontario. In the middle of winter, at a northern Ontario airport, a small Cessna from a flying club landed and contacted the tower to say, there was a man on the runway hitch-hiking.
The police went out and picked him up. Turned out a departing Nordair B737 flight that just departed, this guy - ex passenger, was drunk, disorderly, and beligerent to passengers, and crew, and the aircraft was just taxiing out for departure.
The pilot got into an argument with this guy, the pilot got mad, opened the door of the B737 and tossed him out.
I do recall the pilot was immediately terminated, but it was funny news up here.
