The FAA is asking airport concessions to stop selling liquor in 'to-go' glasses to reduce unruly behavior on planes. hugomartin reports:
“We have received reports that some airport concessionaires have offered alcohol ‘to go’ and passengers believe they can carry that alcohol onto their flights or they become inebriated during the boarding process,” according to a letter Tuesday from FAA chief Steve Dickson to airport administrators across the country.
The surge in unruly and violent behavior has been attributed by flight attendants union leaders primarily to frustration over the passenger mask mandate and excessive alcohol consumption, despite the nation’s two largest carriers, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, temporarily halting all alcohol sales.
The rising trend prompted Dickson to issue a zero-tolerance order in January against unruly behavior. Instead of receiving warnings or being required to seek counseling, violators now face criminal prosecution or fines of as much as $35,000. “In some cases, flight attendants have reported being physically assaulted,” he said in the letter. “Nevertheless, many of these passengers were interviewed by local police and released without criminal charges of any kind.”released last month found that a vast majority of attendants said they had dealt with unruly passengers, and nearly 1 in 5 experienced a physical incident, including shoving, kicking of seats and harassment of flight crews at airports.
