That was a bandwagon jumper. The REAL fan was in the Bengals cap, sitting quietly minding his own business.

What the hell is up with people going nuts on planes.

Seems like I see something like this every day now.

Clearly this dude most recently hopped off the Steelers bandwagon.

Well..

There are people who can not handle alcohol. That was certainly the case in Jesus' time as well ..

So now the cuckoo is ashamed, as well as having the dubious pleasure of having to do with the authorities. What a start to this weekend, for this "fan"!

To paraphrase coach Wyche: That’s why he lives in Cleveland NOT Cincinnati!

I would say #1 alcohol drinkers but yes the decades of misery have been very beneficial to the distilleries, breweries and vineyards

Every single one of them makes news now, is why. One drunk in Idaho or two people fighting in New Mexico would never have been news here in Ohio in the past.

In 2019 there were 176,000 commercial flights per DAY in the US. So even if your hyperbole of "every day" was true, that's still an absolutely miniscule percentage.

Don't know about #1, have you seen Bills fans?

Why did you go to the trouble to learn the number of flights per day but refuse to educate yourself on the increase in problems with passengers?  What was the point of that?  Just a simple Google search proves that it is a real problem and not just a matter of them being more publicized.

Unruly passenger incidents on the increase | Airlines. (iata.org)

Airlines are reporting a significant rise in unruly and disruptive passenger incidents. 

In 2020, the rate of incidents doubled, and that trend is continuing in 2021. In an informal survey of IATA’s Cabin Operations Safety Technical Group, one member airline reported over 1,000 incidents of non-compliance in a single week. Another calculated a 55% increase in unruly passenger incidents based on the numbers carried. 

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) had more than 4,600 incident reports between January and early October 2021. Some 849 of these reports have been investigated versus a yearly average of 142 over the last decade.

The incidents I see reported are always related to consuming too much alcohol and/or not wanting to wear a mask.

I think the fines are pretty heavy on this stuff, meaning they have been increased.

Damn rights.

"Go through the trouble"..... I literally just googled "how many flights per day in the US". It's not exactly like I had to go out of my way, Fred.

Of course there's an increase in a pandemic when people and employees are masked, scared, cramped, and the increased scrutiny on rules and rule enforcement compared to any other time in recent history.

You highlighted 849 investigated, but again we're talking out of ~60,000,000 in a year if that daily number I saw was correct. I honestly don't care to spend more time on a such a stupid subject.

Well, he's certainly created a weekend for himself that he'll never forget and will have a lifetime to ponder countless times, regardless of the game's outcome.

Captive audience.  I had a gf who would always start an argument while we were in the car for the same reason.

I am lost.

I claimed there was a big increase in the number of problems with airline passengers.

Then you claim that the only reason I thought there were more was that they were being covered more by the media.

Now you seem agree with me that there is a huge increase.  So why not just say that in the first place?

I bet that guy was wearing a ChiefsPlanet shirt underneath.
