Perhaps I’m wrong, but I gotta wonder how prevalent such tactics really are on board a commercial flight. Disruptive passengers are subject to removal by air marshals.
Honestly, I’m not terribly opposed to first class flights (heck, with lots of travel, he’d probably have upgrade privileges anyway), but the explanation comes off sounding like a lame excuse... if this is a serious problem, then there are ways to have it dealt with.
Happens on every flight for my Congressman. Every single flight.
