Family of four caught smoking on airliner

- Start date
I am not sure of this but as a business the Airline has the right to refuse their business. Try getting a flight after that one. Try getting put of Cape Breton after this one. May have to drive to the US. I hear the causeway to Europe is out so that is their only choice.

And far too often, that's what happened when WestJet started, (It was co-founded by the same guy who started SouthWest), then of course Greyhound. We now have bus people travelling by air, because they can afford it. I don't want to sound snobbish, but air travel is in a race to the bottom; wages and working conditions are in a steep decline in order to woo the WalMart passenger who wants that $49 YUL-EWR ticket, before taxes of course. It cost me $450 in airfare to travel from YYZ to LHR return, in 1974, $h!t, you can get there and back for less now, and everything else costs 10X now what it did then, WTF? Oh, and trust me, morons also sit in J class, so you can't excape them there either, but they are a better class of moron :roll:.
BTW, an ashtray is required in each lav believe it or not, It is an MEL (Minimum Equipment List) item. If it is missing the lav is no longer serviceable. So don't remove them, expecially on long flights, eveyone else's bladder will thank you.
Oh well that changes it a bit.
Diverting the flight because you think a passenger smells of cigarette smoke... that's a bit ridiculous.
I was under the impression that the passengers had set off an alarm or caused smoke in the cabin.
I think we're going to hit the point where grumpy passengers get tossed in plane jail at the back of the cabin.
Last I heard was that their fine was now over $15,000.00. It is now Sunwing's turn to grab their pound of flesh.
I have no problem with this. It was Sunwing's passegers who got the bloody run around because of a family of
nicotine addicts. Their biggest mistake was verbally abusing the crew. If they had just quietly obeyed the crew
there would have been no problems.
I'm a former three pac a day man, I can understand a bit of where they were coming from but they were comepletely
beyond reason.

Two astronaut bottles of vodka and a zopilcone. Out cold before hitting 30,000ft. Tested and proven effective.Ron and I have that covered, we devised, last year sometime, an intravenous alcohol drip package that can be purchased for long journey's, lol. I'm awaiting word from Seagrams for some prototype seed money, then I'm hitting the Dragons' Den.
the 15000 number sounds suspiciously like the other airline fine leveled against an Alberta man recently. Might be crossed wires in the news reports.
That's true- there's no easy answer, short of putting them on another flight bound for the Falkland Islands. -
Actually there's probably a lot worse places to spend a day of your vacation than Bermuda.

I'd rather spend my vacation where I paid and planned to spend my vacation.
Like I said.... plane jail in the rear of the cabin. That's the ticket right there if flights actually have to land over unruliness and rudeness.
