Passenger removed from flight in Labrador
This could be one of those Mastercard Ads.
- Lawyer: $500 - New airline ticket out of town: $1,300 - Fine for misbehaving and reimbursement to Continental airlines for causing diversion: $20,000 - Look on his face when he realized where he was being booted off: Priceless ======================================== Happy Valley-Goose Bay (That's a remote place in Canada, for those who don't know) Florida airline passenger lands in Labrador lockup CBC News A Florida resident spent Monday night in a Labrador jail, after a Continental Airlines flight made a forced landing after what officials described as an incident of air rage. The man, 47, was scheduled to appear in provincial court on Tuesday in Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP officers were called after a Continental Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. RCMP officers were called after a Continental Airlines flight made an emergency landing at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. RCMP said a man reportedly caused a disturbance that put passengers and crew at risk. Police had some difficulty taking the man off the flight. "The individual wasn't very co-operative with our members," said RCMP Cpl. Paul MacDougall. "There was no real struggle, per se, but he wasn't very co-operative." A witness told CBC News that the man was swearing as he was taken from the plane and was trying to break away from officers. Police said alcohol appears to be a factor in the case. The flight, en route from Oslo, Norway, to Newark, N.J., continued after the passenger was removed from the plane. |

Per Larry in AZ:
when did you ever hear of an unruly passenger causing trouble because of his cigarette..? Every time the fool exhales and people around him eventually have to inhale. -- PeteCresswell |

They've banned smoking, and when did you ever hear of an unruly passenger causing trouble because of his cigarette..? There's been a few...have you not noticed over the years how the spiel has changed..they now specifically mention that "tampering" with the smoke detector in the loo is a no-no because some years back a joker used as his defense for disabling the detector in the john to have a quick smoke the fact that no one had *told* him that breaking the alarm was forbidden. I beleive he ended up acquitted and thus the very specific warning was added. I also seem to recall there was some guy so off his nut for a smoke that he kept trying to open one of the main doors to "go outside and light up"...I suspect he had been drinking heavily also. One of the more classic fun bits of film (to a cruel person such as myself) was that shown after the first coast to coast non-smoking flight landed back when the ban first kicked in...some of the folks shown getting off looked ready for the palsy ward they were shaking so badly...a few were almost jogging (as best a heavy smoker *can* jog) to get to a smoking area so they could enjoy the action-adventure fresh flavor of their favorite inhaled drug.

I would consider having to inhale second hand smoke inside a confined space as causing a disturbance. I don't understand how it could have ever been an accepted practice! |

I worked at one place where perfume was permitted, but if there were any complaints, you would be asked to not wear perfume again. Do it a second time, it was disciplinary action. Third time was fireable. -- Insert something clever here. |

Per DevilsPGD:
I worked at one place where perfume was permitted, but if there were any complaints, you would be asked to not wear perfume again. Never seen that, but once I saw something happen that I suspect happens to more than just a few people. This lady started wearing perfume one day. Then she started wearing more perfume... and more... and more... until after a month or so people were practically gagging whenever she was in the area. From what I've read, it seems like the human olfactory sense adapts to discount smells very rapidly - like within 45 minutes sometimes. My guess is that some people start with a little dab of perfume on day one, can't smell it anymore on day 2, add a little more until they can smell it.....and by day 30 they're positively reeking to people that aren't around them very much. -- PeteCresswell |
