Unruly Airline Passengers hit with mass fines

 Even Fox News reports on this bad behavior.

"Rowdy airline passengers have now racked up a record $1 million in potential fines this year, a toll of the tumult in the sky as travelers have returned after most were grounded by the pandemic in 2020."

And one major hub, Atlanta, Georgia. is recorded as:

"A passenger was fined $30,000 for an incident involving a Frontier Airlines flight from Atlanta to New York, N.Y., on Jan. 3, 2021. The passenger was allegedly interfering with the flight attendants’ deplaning procedures upon arrival. The FAA said he attempted to gain entry to the flight deck by physically assaulting two flight attendants, threatening to kill one of them, and demanding them to open the door. The captain called for law enforcement to meet him after exiting."

No one likes to have to wear a mask while squeezed in a metal tube flying 30,000 feet in the air at 600 mph, but it is essential given the fact that many people have refused to get the free vaccination.  Had we been good people this past spring and summer, the conditions in the air would likely have been better.

Grow up people.  It is not about your freedom, it is about your family, friends and neighbors.

Remember Red Green's famous quote:

"Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together."
