Hers a reason why some pilots wear a plain jacket over their uniform. I’ve been cussed at , insulted but never hit.
A passenger assaults a uniformed crew member and gets a ticket??
While I'm not advocating he gets dragged out of sight and beaten to a pulp, can a passenger expect a ticket for the same behavior once in flight?
Would punching a police officer result in said ticket?
You are required by the FOM to be in uniform while on duty. It is the responsibility of the airline and authorities to ensure you are safe and protected to go about your duty. Hiding in plain North Face should not be the solution.
Airlines in much less litigious Europe are beginning to take unruly pax to court for compensation, I think we should consider that too, as a way to set an example, and ensure this individual is never allowed within 100 feet of a US airport again.
