The federal government has ordered a tougher crackdown on unruly airline passengers, directing states to prioritize prosecuting rowdy fliers as millions of Americans travel for Thanksgiving.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland issued the directive in a memo Wednesday, saying disorderly travelers are interfering with critical jobs of crews on airlines “that help ensure safe air travel.”

Effin MASKS!!! He’s going after us Deplorables for resisting masks!

From the article:

“Airlines have seen a massive surge this year in the number of unruly passenger incidents, with over 5,300 instances reported.

On Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration revealed the agency received nearly 300 reports of passenger disturbances due to alcohol and intoxication. Well over 3,800 of the total reports stem from passengers refusing to wear face coverings as federally mandated on flights. “

From my high and lofty place, in the airline scheme of things, I observed that the Greyhound Bus Stations had been emptied and that flying was no longer the orderly, “nicely dressed folks in the cabin experience” it had been.
Sitting next to a man, who was dressed like he had just left the gym and having to “enjoy” his hairy legs, armpits and odor meant flying was no longer the luxury it once was.

Do the math folks. It is SO much cheaper to fly today and it is the airline’s fault that the “undressed” show up, flip flops and all. It is revenue and the “load factor” has to be over 90% to pay for that Jumbo Jet! It used to be 50% or better, resulted in profit!

Now, How do we like flying “coast to coast,” wearing an unhealthy mask for two hours in the airport, to 5+ hours in the airplane?
And our airline falls in line with the Fauci led gestapo!

If passengers didn't tick off the pilot the night before there wouldn't be so many problems.

The main stadium in Philadelphia has a jail cell in the basement, for football rowdies. Maybe airplanes need a cell in the cargo hold.
