Overserving flyers before a trip continues to be a problem, as evidenced by the latest in-flight incident aboard Spirit Airlines.
The Nashville Tennessean reports a 42-year-old woman was arrested at Nashville International Airport (BNA) on accusations of attacking other passengers and crewmembers.
Flyer Claims I Didnt Do Anything Wrong at Arrest
The incident happened after the Spirit flight departed Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) for Nashville. During the hour-long flight, the unnamed flyer reportedly became aggressive with both the crew and those around her. According to statements from the attendants, the passenger allegedly attacked two crewmembers with punches and hair pulls.
The flyer was subdued by a combination of the cabin team and other passengers. Zip-tie handcuffs were utilized to tie the travelers feet together, and police were called to meet the flight upon arrival. The police report states the flyer exhibited signs of being drunk, including smelling of alcohol and speaking with a slur.

Never have any anxiety issues.
Or aggressive impulses.
Just seem to doze or stare out the window at the pretty clouds.

Then charge/fine them to the max and widely publicize it.
