Atlantic Southeast Airlines: Watch your F*#@$@%# mouth

I see no posts on here that don't jibe with the linked story. What are you seeing, Blitz?

 

Don't put her on any ASA flights.

 

Not saying it isn't disruptive to everyone else, OOP. Just that an unruly passenger can be taken off of the flight under Rule 35. Mainly for the safety of everyone on the plane. If he's uncooperative and disruptive on the ground, do you really want to be at 28,000 feet with that guy and no way to get rid of him?

Christ, look at the whole picture.

 

I don't question dealing with unruly passengers. I question your definition of what is unruly. Jeez, you'd think on a site full of writers we wouldn't run into somebody so concerned over a guy saying fuck.

 

Well said, Armchair. I think you've got it covered.

 

Apropos of probably nothing on this thread, but ASA is facing a $400,000 fine for flying planes that had been struck by lightning withouth performing required maintenance checks.

but he broke rule 35

 

I laughed out loud at "under Rule 35." But then I read Section 8 -- and realized this was no joking matter.

 

Saying fuck isn't the problem, it's how it's said and what brought it on.

 

All along, my point was that if his story is true, the airline's actions were bullshit. Here is his version of how it was said.

The 37-year-old TV producer and children's book author said he and other passengers on Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 5136 to Newark, N.J., had been waiting at the gate for 45 minutes when he was overheard by a flight attendant telling a passenger next to him, "What's taking so (expletive) long to close the overhead compartments?"

So, he wasn't cursing at an airline employee. Explain to me what the problem is with how he said it.

Or are you saying the problem was that he dared to complain? Because that's pretty damn ridiculous, too.

 

I wasn't there, so all I have is this report.

In that case, it was an overreaction, probably.

But I doubt it was that simple.

 

Rule 35 OOP, rule 35
