CS proves Dunning-Kruger effect
-
The flight attendant should have taken a dive . . . dropped on the floor, moaning and groaning, put all the drama he could into it.
Even if the SC probably doesn't have a conscience to emotionally blackmail, the attendant could at least have gotten out of the job with workman's comp (since according to the article I read he was planning to quit anyway).They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

Quoth MoonCat View PostConsider what would have happened if the bag had hit one of the other passengers, possibly a little kid. They should have arrested the passenger for disobeying safety instructions.
The news here also omitted a lot of the pertinent details. They had an 'etiquette expert' on and she basically said: if people are rude to you suck it up, your job is to serve the customer. (they've had this expert on before, both mom and I take issue with most of what she has to say). There's only so much one can do to placate SCs before the gloves have to come off in some fashion.
Has anyone heard whether anything happened to the passenger? (probably not)"I am quite confident that I do exist."

Quoth Dreamstalker View PostIndeed. I know on approach to Reagan Airport, passengers can't leave their seats for a fair amount of time prior to landing, and that is enforced. Not to the hogtying-with-seat-belt extent, but I have seen an SC escorted back to their seat rather quickly (it seems like they just stood up to be a jerk about it).

I've not hear anythign about what happend to the passenger but I'm going to guess that he's getting a couple free flights for his inconvenience.....

Quoth mikoyan29 View PostYour job is to serve the customer but your job is also to maintain the safety of the aircraft and the passengers on that aircraft. Having passengers moving about the cabin while the plane is moving does not foster that job.
I have a friend who was a flight attendant for about 20 years, and finally had to quit because the SCs were getting too much. Some of the tales he told were"I am quite confident that I do exist."

According to some extra details in this article, the passenger had an oversized bag at the start she ended up having to check in and that's when he was hit in the head. Then she bitched because her bag wasn't immediately available when the plan landed.
After the altercation:
Slater then activated the aircraft emergency slide on door R-2, proceeded to the chute, looked down to ensure that nobody was below it as he had been trained to do, and he deployed the device and went down it safely, his attorney said.
Police sources said that when authorities found Slater he seemed to be in the midst having sexual relations."Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine"

It seems like just about every news report I've seen about this mentions his tirade and post tirade actions in quite vivid detail but gloss over her actions. I mean, I was under the impression that we were supposed to have zero tolerance when it comes to passengers disobeying the safety instructions from flight attendants. How come she isn't facing charges for what she did? It just doesn't seem right.
