Flight attendants are now being trained in hand-to-hand combat.
In addition to fines and jail time for interfering with the safe conduct of flight and jeopardizing the lives of the crew and passengers, a couple of broken bones should add to the deterrent.
Seems like a lot of the problems are caused by alcohol. The airlines should start making everybody take a breathalyzer test before boarding. If they blow more than .03, they don’t get on a plane.
Unfortunately, an aircraft in flight is probably the least suitable venue for close quarters combat. Weapons will injure other passengers and there are no end of obstacles. See James Bond train compartment fight in “From Russia with Love”. Note there is a LOT more room in a train compartment.
Perhaps the flight attendants could add a little bit to their safety spiel, emphasizing how you could fined, jailed and banned from flying for interfering with them or fellow passengers.

And it’s economy class.

Perhaps zip ties and gags should become standard attendent equipment.

The challenger has come out with a renewed sense of urgency. Wait a minute! He’s jammed a small bag of peanuts down the champ’s throat!

Maybe that’s the solution to the problem – big, beefy attendants, gender no barrier.

This should have been done as a Rocky movie spoof.

Heard of another incident yesterday. Dyslexic passengers think they’re on a FIGHT not a FLIGHT!!

It kind of makes me sad that the situation is bad enough to generate a comic about it. I feel sorry for flight attendants nowadays.

My vote is to kick the s**t out of any disruptive passenger on any flight, especially mine.

Or, “He’s the unruly Defendant attacking the Bailiff, and you’re the Judge.” Happened 12/15 in a Houston courtroom.
