I do not miss the trouble makers

 It has been quieter now since I disallowed anonymous comment on this blog. It is better to be quieter than to have the irritants come here and talk rubbish. Some of them think that without their presence my revenue from this blog will drop drastically. Frankly, I do not much from blogging. I hardly get enough to buy myself a cup of coffee and so I don't miss much. As for now I am "blog fatigued" as I have been blogging here since 2006. I am turning now to YouTube, trying to be a YouTuber. It's a tough just to earn a few bucks.

How the crew of the 60s, and 70s handled unruly and aggressive passengers

During my time as a cabin crew there were hardly any passenger giving the crew a hard time. If they dared to, they would have met with the same treatment. In the old days, there were no social media and few reporters were around to pick up stories of crew fighting back the abusive and aggressive passengers. This embolden the crew not to cowed to the bullies. There were many stories of how the crew handled the unruly passengers. I won't want to elaborate as it is not in the interest of anyone since it happened about 40 to 50 years ago.

A reader's comment on pax abusing crew

That guy is indeed lucky from the legal point of view.   If I am not wrong,  for one to be charged for a criminal act, or an attempt to do so, there are some legal requirements to be met.  From what I see, the following transpired:-

1.  Apart from his arrogance or rude request, there was no actual physical act to assault the cabin crew or any other person.  Hence, he cannot be charged for assault;

1.  It would also be difficult to charge with him an attempt to commit an offence.  This is because to do so, the Prosecution must prove that he had taken a substantial step towards completing the crime.  From what I see, he did not threaten to cabin crew by saying "I am going to beat you up" or show a fist in a threatening behaviour causing the cabin crew to be in fear of being assault.  He was "merely" asking for more alcohol and got rude for being refused.  Rightly or wrongly, Prosecution probably treated it as a customer service matter.

 As I said earlier, I could be wrong and there might be other reasons to issue a warning only.  The law is very rigid and can sometimes be unpractical.  Charles Dicken, in referring its rigidity, once said, "The Law is a Ass".   And there was even a book on it (see photo).
