attendant's skirtShortly after departure from New York on May 24, a JetBlue passenger was accused of throwing his carry-on luggage, lying down in the aisle and refusing to get up, and grabbing a flight attendant by the ankles and sticking his head up her skirt.
After the crew restrained him with zip-ties, the plane made an emergency landing in Richmond, Virginia, where he was removed.
He may be fined $45,000, according to the latest announcement of proposed civil penalties released today from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The JetBlue passenger was just one of 34 against whom the FAA proposed fines against on Thursday for a total of $531,545, bringing the total for 2021 to more than $1 million.

Ha, silly me.

and a permanent ban from the airline - and possibly other ones. And some criminal charges, starting with assault.

People trying to overthrow the government by storming the Capitol, and taking Shits in the Halls of Congress, are getting slaps on the wrist.
I wouldn't expect it to be different for this dirtbag.
He'll get some insignificant fine, a few hours of community service, and perhaps a lovely parting gift.
What he Won't get, is a $45,000 fine. I can 100% guarantee you that. Won't even be close.
