During the pandemic we’ve seen an endless amount of unruly passenger behavior, and all too often passengers get away with it. It amazes me how often people aren’t even arrested, and charges aren’t filed. Well, here’s a case where a passenger is facing a serious punishment for his actions.

Since when does an FA leave anything in a sleeping passengers lap? Haven't seen or heard of that before. If you were sleep when the cart passed, you get up and head to the galley when you wake up...
So, no good deed goes unpunished? Not sure if this is intended to be victim blaming, but either way it's a bad look...
What is wrong with passengers in the States ?? You never read about such incidents in Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia and Australia/NZ. That country is just going downhill more and more each day
I'm Canadian and have Exec Platinum status on American. It flies where I need to go...is that an issue?
He is lucky he will be jailed in Canada. If he was jailed in Mexico he would become a "bride" and been groped by his fellow inmates would be the least of his worries.
This is actually a legitimate question. Good thing the creep is in jail, and let’s not assume this is an attempt at victim blaming. I’ve never seen this either. Maybe on a tray that was down. He’ll need those sleeping skills in his new cell.
The irony being that flight attendants are rallying around providing less service due to reducing Covid "touch points." Maybe they have a point!
Meanwhile, in liberal Austin, TX, murder and mass shooting perp walks free with no bail. Clown world.
Firstly he was Canadian. There are also many incidents in Europe l involving intoxicated travellers, assault and abuse. Just because you didn’t personally read it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
That you are Canadian, not really. That anyone is forced to fly places on AA enough to get Executive Platinum, yes.
Was it too hard for the FA to pull out the tray table and place the snacks there? Why did she have to place them on his lap? Also people do worst things like roofie people and get nothing as consequence, so 6 months in jail is a bit too much, 1-2 months would be enough.
That’s because liberal Austin TX has to abide by the last of ruby red Texas which heavily protect 2A supporters.
Imagine a stranger groped your daughter and then another stranger said to you "oh well, it's kind of her fault for not going out of her way to ensure she wasn't doing anything that could be remotely construed as an advance"
yikes at all the people victiming blaming and acting okay with this kind of behavior in this comment section.
Also there is variance with sex. It it was a women touching a male flight attendant, the perpetrator would probably get a slap on the wrist, like a minor fine and some hours of communitive service at most. Rule of thumb never touch anyone without permission (like how fights starts with strangers)
I saw on a TV show that a man had a brain tumor in his frontal lobe area causing 2 incidents of groping.
You are reading a blog targeting readers in the U.S., so of course you read about mostly incidents that happen in the U.S.
ALL unruly passengers that commit assault to either a flight crew or other passenger, don't wear a mask or follow other rules when instructed by a crew member, must be dealt with quickly and HARSHLY with jail time or with permanent bans on flying!! Unruly behavior endangers all passengers on a plane and should NOT be tolerated. PERIOD.
I love what YouTube has done to misinformation spreading Anti-Covid Vax idiots like Dan Bongino when he was banned PERMANENTLY. In addition to YouTube; Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook should do the same and ban him too!! Dan is Fox New's Biggest Dope of a host for evading his Covid misinformation suspension!! That will teach that Moron a lesson...... This guy had a Trump-sized Ego, that only got him into trouble. When will people learn?
Oops! Bad misreading of a situation. Just because someone drops candy in your lap, doesn't necessarily mean the giver is signalling something more.
Six months in the slammer sounds a bit excessive though.
frontotemporal dementia causes this sort of behavior as well.
this dude must be one hard-up perv to do that. Most AA FAs are dried up old prunes. Ha!
First, the passenger seems like a jerk and I am glad he was sentenced to jail term.
Second, in this particular case, I think the fact that the incident happened at 30,000 feet is not overly important. In some parts of the country you can see service stuff (I.e. waitresses ) dealing with this on a daily basis. I wish the same standard of punishment applied there as well.
Please share your experience in both countries prisons so we can know if this is a credible comment.
It is not the severity of the punishment that prevents crime, but the assurance of getting caught.
