Are you watching videos of people out of control on airplanes? There is something addictive and I admit I love watching them.
Not wearing a mask? Using profanity at staff? Refusing to sit down? Being an obnoxious copycat with a political agenda? Since February 2021, airlines reported 1300 incidents to the FAA. This is a huge increase but still rare. Just be aware of the trend; maybe be more sympathetic to airline staff?
Since April mask wearing in airports and on airplanes has been federal law.…
