FAA Asks Airlines to 'Take More Action' in Curbing Unruly Passenger Incidents
The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday urged representatives of major U.S. airlines to come up with ways they can do more to help stop the surge of reported "unruly" passenger incidents – and asked them to lay out those plans in a matter of days.

Even after I was flying post 9/11 there were very few air marshalls.I flew for a regional airline so I don't know about the Legacy carriers. In my job we had to enforce the regs but not really enforce them. Its really a Catch 22. You don't want lose paying pax,, but I did have to ensure the safety of the rest of the pax. I'm not saying to kiss ass to all pax but without them airlines wouldn't thrive.
When they used duct tape the FAA complained, where are the FAA employed air marshals?
roy hunte..most people do not understand that there are NOT air marshalls every day on every airline on every flight..there are ususally 2 such people who remain anonymous except to the flight crew..they do not sit together nor communicate with passengers,and the flight deck crew and the flight attnedants are advised of where they are seated..the flights they are on are random,and you might be seated by an air marshall and not be aware of it..if the faa so chooses to "ramp up" the air marshall program and put them on every single flight in the air,the task would be almost impossible..the only alternative is to train flight crews with police tactical skills in addition to smiling,scarts,serving beverages (where allowed)and being the "smiling" face with a mask of an airline!!!
Mary Susan, does this mean that some of the events that have taken place may have had a marshal present? If so, I guess they may have not wanted to reveal their situation. I have not seen any case where it was mentioned that an air marshal was present.
Making all airports and aircraft Alcohol Free zones would go a long way to start!
Some people can handle and enjoy a drink while on vacation. I hate to think of being punished for the actions of a few idiots.
It is sad that people can not have a meal or be on a plane without alcohol. There is a report out now that almost 20% of people are drinking too much alcohol. Drinking alcohol is not some "right"guaranteed by the Constitution. Too many incidents involve people who would not be legal to drive and there is too much harm that can be done by them.
wut?
