Via Drudge...

A couple who forced a plane to land in Bermuda after they attacked cabin crew who stopped them having sex are facing a $34,000 bill for their pleasure.

SNIP

Bermuda Airport manager Jim Howes said: "It's always the joke among us pilots, and I am a pilot, about have you joined the mile high club?"

When asked if he had Mr. Howes said: "I can't comment – and you can quote me on that." Although he did say that on that long haul flight the couple had probably joined the seven-mile high club.

$34,000! Wow!

I got mine a lot cheaper!!!!

"Mile High Club" Ping List Don't ask to be added to or dropped from this list; I know what you like.

[Bender2]

Did not know there was a pin list for this...

That would be 34,000 pounds sterling, over $60,000 US.

[Saint Reagan]

I think, at least. The story uses both dollars and pounds.

Now the pair from Luton, England face being charged with air rage – and the £34,000 cost of diverting the plane.

Although the title and last sentence use dollars. Who knows. Either way it's more than I'd want to pay.

That would be 34,000 pounds sterling, over $60,000 US.

The article mentions "$34,000" three times but "£34,000" only once.

[Bender2]

At that rate they could have bought 3,000 pairs of Mile High Club wings from me...

I would have even given them a discount!

Is that a description of your Mile High experience?

Sometimes the screwing you get, ain't worth the screwing you get.

[goldstategop]

Yeah - that's A LOT of extra zeros added to that airline ticket. If they had only sat down and shut up, their bank account might still be full. When will people learn to avoid rage? Its never healthy for you even though the sex might be.

Ummmm.... know - but it sounds good...



This is a direct quote from one of the Red Bull Air Race pilots. Those guys are tougher than this Sex Rage Couple. ;-)

That's probably the best way to get a mile - AGL - but.... if you "did it" in Denver or Reno, for that matter, you'd be a winner if we are talking MSL.

[Dashing Dasher]

Know = no....

Darn Jet Lag.

[gakrak]

You know if they had chartered a jet for this purpose it may not have cost as much as the fine. Amen.

Darn Jet Lag."

Maybe that's what you call it, eh?

The only people alcohol seemed to make me more interesting to were decked out in badges and guns...

"Doing it" at the Marriott near the airport terminal before or after the flight is more comfortable. You can feel free to make more noise and there are hot tubs to relax in afterwards. And the second and third time you avoid the suspiciousness of the same two people walking back the aisle to the smelly mothbally spot-a-pot. [irony]
