We can hope that NO guns slip
by and get onto the planes. so many resort to guns these days to settle their arguments.

Insider reported that the Department of Justice has only filed criminal charges over in-flight violence once. Nelson said the current trajectory of cases could make 2021 the year with the largest number of incidents in the entire history of aviation.

'At 38,000 feet, we are all you have': Flight attendants are fed up with a growing number of violent in-flight encounters

The Federal Aviation Administration has logged 4,837 incidents of disturbances on flights this year.
Prosecutors brought criminal charges in only one incident.
Flight attendants told Insider they're burnt out and don't know what to expect each day.


Since the beginning of the pandemic, disturbances and violent incidents on planes have been on the rise, and flight attendants have had enough.

The rise of incidents — and what some flight attendants described as a lack of accountability — has forced some to reconsider whether or not they want to remain in the industry.

Mary started as a flight attendant for an ultra-low-cost carrier in January 2020, right before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. She spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, but her identity is known to Insider.

She said the incidents have only gotten worse with each passing month since she started.

1. Only ONE federal prosecution? WTF

2. I'm flying an ultra low-cost carrier after Thanksgiving. My first post-vaccine flight.

I'm not looking forward to any shenanigans.

3. I read that one pilot announced to passingers that if anyone created a disturbance or

assulted the crew, the police would be waiting when they landed.
