What to do with Drunk Passengers

You are flying on an airplane. The passenger sitting a few seats ahead of you had a few drinks too many and started speaking with a loud abusive voice. Shouting at the stewardesses, swearing at the passengers around him and just making a fool of himself. Don't you wish you could just open the aircraft door and shove him out with a napkin for makeshift parachute? He can try to be McGyver while rushing down to earth at 600 km/h.

Well on a quiet flight from Manchester - UK to Tenerife - Canary Islands, one passenger got drunk and abusive and became a nuisance, so the pilot, fed up with his behavior, dumped the drunk to 10 x 3 mile island off the West Coast of Africa, then continued on his planned journey.

I think the pilot deserves a medal. Full article here.

  1. Another way of handling an abusive passenger is to set him up with an anger management program.

  2. Ha ha! If I was there, I would have knocked him out, fast and to the point.

  3. I don't believe in the anger mnagement thing. I think throwing the arse off the plane is the best thing to do.
