ICTChris Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I can’t imagine anything worse than being on a plane where a bunch of drunk people start fighting. If it happens the flight should divert into international air space and then, freed from the constraints of the law, the cabin crew should be allowed the brutally restrain them and throw them to their deaths into the open ocean. Maybe they could be hanged from the fuselage like that bit in Scarface as a warning to the other morons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The closest I've come to seeing a fight on a plane was on the Wonky Sheep flight to Georgia last November when some steaming loudmouth kept calling out all of the bald Scotland fans for their lack of hair (despite him only having about three patches of it). One of the passengers had enough of it which resulted in a shouting match between various voices across the plane, all directed at the loudmouth, but it all fizzled out by the time everyone got off. The majority of the flight were in the same hotel and shared buses to it, but I was both relieved and disappointed I didn't get to see if the shenanigans carried into the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I missed a kerfuffle on a flight from Singapore to Amsterdam once which ended up the dutch polis coming on the plane at Schipol as soon as the doors opened and lifting some boy.In my defence Id been working 72 days straight and had partaking in many free vodkas in the lounge and was fast asleep as soon as I sat down which in turn was a waste as I was up in business class and never even got fully reclined.Heard a few folk speaking about it as we were waiting to get off and seemingly the boy had a meltdown at a stewardess over a meal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The B&B landlady asked me if I've got a good memory for faces. I said "Yes, why do you ask?" She said "There's no mirror in the bathroom." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I rang the bell of I think the same B&B, whereupon the landlady appeared at an outside window. “What do you want?”, she asked. “I want to stay here”, I replied. “Well, stay there then”, she said and closed the window. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit soft for someone flying a jumbo jet half cut. Apparently it used to be all the rage for pilots to be up all night with the stewardesses and a bag of coke. Hardly any crashes, so clearly it's fine. Probably say they drink better when blitzed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
