Most of the obnoxious people I’ve seen on planes have been drunk (and men). But not always. Some people are just *ssholes without any drink.
In any case, there should be severe penalties for behavior like this, especially disobeying a safety request from a crew member. I think that is a felony isn’t it?
The plane was landing. During takeoff and landing (and in turbulence) everything has to be locked down and strapped in, including the flight crew and passengers. If the woman had lost her balance and fallen she could have hurt someone else. I hope she was arrested and charged to the full extent of the law ... but she probably wasn’t.
Besides that, who needs all that nastiness when you are trapped in a metal tube and can’t get away. I have NO tolerance for people who make air travel more unpleasant than it already is. And there seem to be more of them theses days.
I agree. There are few situations more disagreeable than being on a airplane. All decent people will be as considerate as possible of others.
