I'm really curious what the "proper policies" are for restraining a passenger that physically assaulted people. At first I thought it was just standard "suspend until investigation, which they definitely won't be found of wrongdoing and will get back pay", but this is some bullshit if it's suspended for "not following proper policies for restraining a passenger".

I've been on two trips since June. Three of four flights had some type of nonsense on them. Yesterday, some guy got in trouble over an Mask. Also, someone let their three children sit alone in an section. The oldest child looked no older than 10. She was trying to take care of an 8 year old and an two year old. The infant cried 5 hours straight.

It might be the use of duct tape. There are apparently cable ties on the plane for this specific purpose.

Doesn't it require taking them to the back of the plane or just not in the main cabin?

That video has a definite "fuck around and find out" energy.

Those flight attendants should be getting medals, not suspended though.

He is not treating others like a human being and was restrained as such, even without any violence.
You need to reward those guys and not suspend them.

It's policy whenever there's an incident.

"During a flight from Philadelphia to Miami on July 31, a passenger made inappropriate physical contact with a flight attendant and subsequently physically assaulted another flight attendant. As a result, the passenger needed to be restrained until the flight landed in Miami and law enforcement arrived. The flight attendants will be, as required in such circumstances, relieved of flying pending completion of investigation of the events."

I'd hate to be a flight attendant in these times.

Next time I'm in a bad situation I am going to shout about how rich my grandmother is too, that seems like a real power move.

In an additional statement, Frontier took a shot a the flight crew, though.

Sounded like a flight from Philly to Miami or Frontier.


Which sounds an awful lot like a subway ride from City Hall to Pattison Ave for an Eagles game.

So why did we fire victims who were sexually harassed in front of everyone by a giant bag of shit?

Sorry if I missed it somewhere but were the proper policies for restraining a passenger ever clarified anywhere?

The more stories come out like this, the more I'm glad I stay with either Southwest or Delta.

And I want to know what proper procedures were supposed to be followed after getting attacked?

I'm sorry, what is the procedure in this instance? Dude is literally STRIKING an employee after GROPING two employees. You have to restrain him.

I feel like they DID follow the procedure... like, this seems to be what happens everything I read about violent passengers.

The suspension is bizarre

Reading the Twitter comments from other stewards it's more about obstructing his ability to breath. Wrists and ankles, not chest and mouth. Fug this dude anyways.

Good, fuck that guy. But also, why do we keep seeing duct tape incidents, do they not have other restraints?
Maybe they use duct-tape to fix all kinds of things on the plane, and so they avoid buying other methods to restrain passengers as there's always plenty of it around.

It just teaches kids that adults can't and won't help them. Because even if you get beat up, you still get in trouble.

Hopefully ends in charges for the little shit stain who pulled this crap, and the suspended crew getting a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again in the form of "re-training". Wonder if his family are the type to defend their scumbag spawn, or the type that'll publicly slam them? Hopefully the latter.
