Flying the Friendly Skies

 

Good Morning Everyone!  Weirdness is everywhere and the friendly skies are not immune. Lets take a look up and see what's going wrong in the great blue yonder!

-- A Southwest Airlines flight landing at Midway Airport had a female passenger strip naked, run around the cabin yelling, tried to enter the cockpit, and finally shit on a passenger seat.

-- On an American Airlines flight from JFK to Milan a male passenger upset because he couldn't get the meal he wanted runs down the isles and charges the cockpit door causing the flight to turn around and return to New York.

-- Last month another Southwest flight taxing for takeoff in Houston had a passenger strip naked and dance around requiring the plane to return to the gate.

-- Air India flight as it was landing in Bangkok had a drunk passenger urinate on another passenger even though the bathrooms were working.

There is an endless supply of these stories of airline passengers acting badly. 

I started flying at an early age and took my first Airline flight alone back in the 60's (It used to be a thing to drop children off at a flight without a parent accompanying them). People use to actually dress up when they went flying rather that looking like a Walmart reject. This type of behavior we are seeing now was unheard of!

So what do you think? A symptom of societal collapse? A result of low air fairs allowing a class of people to fly that otherwise would be found at the back of a Greyhound bus? Is it the Airlines fault for treating people like cattle?
