~ Any passenger who does ANYTHING that in the judgement of the captain warrants a deviation from the flight schedule should be fined and imprisoned, the amount of the fine and time in the slammer to be determined by a judge in strict accordance with laws pertaining thereto. NO EXCEPTIONS!

So you turn the entire decision over to an airline pilot (who BTW, didn’t see or hear anything). The pilots were relying on the word of a flight attendant. So you give a flight attendant the power to send people to jail.

Like I said… I’m damn glad you aren’t a cop.

FAA law, both domestically (14 CFR § 91.3) and in alignment with international standards, grants the captain full operational control and final authority over the aircraft, with the sole responsibility for ensuring safety and compliance during flight.

Your juvenile whining and moaning might impress your Marxist/Democrat indoctrinated friends, but in my world they’re considered nothing more than silly nonsense!
