Maybe it’s time for FAs to start carrying pepper spray during the flight. If anyone gets out of line, they’ll remove it from the holster at point it at the disruptive pax. Sounds like a good idea, right?

Do you have the numbers to back that claim up? How many FA training classes have you attended? Are you serious with the "uneducated" comment and "tell them they're there primarily for safety" comment? If so, i suggest you get a clue from someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Jesus!

However, if you’d like to share som data that points towards FA’s being a highly educated demographic subset I’d welcome that.

Not only FA’s who can mishandle a weapon.
Public tar and feathering before 3 years in the booty house should calm some of these mutants down.

Let us know when you have time to show us your statistics.
