And this, folks, is why you don't act like a damn fool on a plane.

Why did the FAs keep serving her?

 

[derg]

Not that it's right and not that I would ever suggest this, but sometimes when you have a blistering drunk and you deny them liquor, it gets worst. Most times, they'll get sleepy and pass out.

Also, most of the passenger problems we've had is when people mix muscle relaxers and/or anti-depressives with alcohol and freak-the-hell-out on the airplane so she may have already either been serving herself alcohol or was mixing it with something else.

Near the top of descent about 15 years ago, flying the redeye from DEN to ATL, we had a passenger lose her cookies copmletely blasted on pills (her admission) and booze (only got served one and apparently had snuck on her own) and was trying to start a fight in the cabin with her seatmate and acting like an annoying drunken sorority girl. Non-compliant with cabin crew instructions, but we were already at the point where ATL was going to be our best choice.

I had no contact with the passenger at all other than listening to the situation over the interphone from the crew and acting as the "go between" from the captain and the lead flight attendant. Police meet the aircraft and as I'm walking past the small crowd of law enforcement aroiund her, she points at me and says I was in the cabin calling her "bitch! bitch! bitch!" which caused her to freak.

Humph. Ok. Have a great day guys.

There is nothing worst than a drunk who cannot hold their liquor and freaks the hell out.

Truth. I volunteer for an organization that teaches about overdose prevention, and one of the biggest problems many people face is mixing medication and alcohol; not realizing that in that case 1+1=24. One time at B6, HPN-PBI I met an e190 at the gate, confused as to why all the passengers had remained seated (usually we are briefed 10 mins prior to arrival if there's a situation)...the F1 points to the first row and says "we have a problem".. Some guy was borederline-KO butt naked on the floor, screaming in spanish for everyone to get out of his room.

If I had that drunken sloth next to me, I can guarantee you she would have slept the entire flight after the first outburst. That seatmate deserves an award for will power and tolerance

I always liked when corporate security met the plane. They can do things to people that the regular airport cops can't.

I was once on a transcon from GSP to SEA that changed planes at ORD. It was a 757, and there were something like 12 people on the entire plane on the ORD - SEA leg.

Two girls were seated together across the aisle from me. They'd just been on a taping of "The Jenny Jones Show" that day in ORD. The episode's theme: "My best friend is a PLAYA!" The FAs were handing out free booze and I learned....all sorts of things that night.

THE most unforgettable flight I've ever been on.

There's a time and place for everything. Getting bombed at a buddy's bachelor party in Vegas? Right on, dude! Slam down those mind erasers and AMFs! Oh, and please, for the love of God, do not call them an adios. If you're going to drink it, stop being a little punk and say the name right.

On an airplane? Have enough to fall asleep and then shut the hell up.

I hate flights to Vegas. They are the worst, for me at least. VEGAS BABY!!!! VEGASSSSSS!!!!!!! "Lets go to the roof of Ceasars and toast when we get there!!!!! yeahhh" mmmk, good luck with that.

No so much on the outbound though. Folks are mighty quiet. I always take the red eye out of LAS.

Don't think you want to be that guy. In one of the recent Knee Defender episodes, the gal in the front seat threw a drink on the guy behind her which prompted in the divert. She was also deplaned, and will forever be on The List.

Notice that the flight TO Vegas, it's like a The Cosmopolitan commercial:

The flights OUT of Vegas, they're more akin to an I-15 Indian casino buffet line on a tuesday.

Try the drives out of Vegas. US93 from Kingman to Phoenix, otherwise known as "Blood Alley South" due to the number of fatigued/hungover drivers making a straight shot on the 4.5 hours from Vegas to Phoenix. Get in a car wreck from anywhere south of I-40 to about 20 miles north of Wickenburg.....about a 70 mile stretch.......and it's a no-mans land for Fire/rescue if you are to get in an accident.

People drive like maniacs as well.

Six cars trailing three or four tractor-trailers and the Kia at the end of the train is going to attempt to pass ten cars approaching a hill.

Some people just haven't run the "risk-reward" formula on such a move, but, of course, that's probably when they're driving a Kia.

Get in an accident on that stretch, at least you'll have is DPS to keep you company while you're burning up in your wreckage, or bleeding out. Or maybe both......

Yeah, I've done that one a few times. It is pretty desolate. The 15 to LA is littered with roadside memorials but you have a lot more folks driving around in case something happens. We were on tour one winter and hit a patch of black ice on our way to Flagstaff and nearly lost our trailer and nearly flipped the van. It was late at night so who knows how long we'd have been out there. We pulled over to see if there was any damage and it was like the vacuum of space out there.

You mean kind of like this?

Me, I'm more like, chilling before I get there so when it's time to turn it up I'm ready.

The drive back to SoCal from Vegas is usually packed with cars. And since the 15 has only two lanes for most of it, you get drivers who want to open it up a little trying to work their way around slower traffic. It makes for an interesting ride back, that's for sure.

That movie kind of started it all. NJC this year will only be the 2nd time Ive been to the Strip since last NJC. I actually live back up in Henderson, which is 20 miles away from The Strip.

First person to drop a line from Swingers or The Hangover buys a round. It'll be cool to see how long it takes.

And if someone gets a face tattoo, I'll buy him a round.

A face tattoo that says "hire me" in Hindu. You gotta stick out somehow. "Oh, I can totally cover this up with a pair of over sized sunglasses, dont worry"
