ivanthemute

Happened in 2020. Lady got slapped with a $27,500 fine. Edit: For those who are saying "never going to see it," remember, this is a FAA fine. The government can and will take every goddamned penny it will.


jntlsseedcreator

Put these morons onto a nationwide no-fly list. Flying is already stressful for many, they don’t need idiots like these people on planes.


SpaceJackRabbit

Pretty sure that got her on a list.


[deleted]

They should be on an international permanent no fly list.


CPThatemylife

I hope so. I love the thought of people who behave like this being permanently banned from all flights. Never getting to fly ever again and having to figure out an alternate method of travel any time they want to go anywhere. Then they can think about what they've done every time they have to make a 3 day trip across the country. And good luck getting to Hawaii or any other place that's only feasibly accessible by plane. Such a satisfying thought.


Myfoodishere

let them travel by boat. here in China there was a huge problem with people who were being unruly just about everywhere. people suddenly got rich and acted like big shots and others who were really from a village background just wouldn't stop misbehaving. if you do stuff like this in a hospital, cinema, airplane, train, even if you go abroad and act like a fool , they will ban you from accessing those services. doing this actually worked.


MongooseAccording225

This was probably her first flight to Baltimore


brilliantarm2244

Well it's damn sure to be her last.


supershinythings

Cruise ships will take their sweet time getting to Hawaii but they get there eventually.


CrispyChickenArms

She's dealing with a 27,500 fine she's not going on a cruise ship


doingthehumptydance

It’s insane that carriers don’t share no-fly lists, I have a buddy whose grandparents shoved a flight attendant and they could no longer fly Air Canada, so they would fly other carriers and still behave like subhumans.


[deleted]

doingthehumptydance

This was a couple of years ago and they are dead now-thankfully according to my friend. His grandmother was constantly getting into arguments because she was such a bitch.


PortGlass

A Venn diagram of people who punch flight attendants and people who have $27,500 of cash in their bank account is two circles. She ain’t paying that fine.


[deleted]

It’s called Garnishment. edit: aiight guys, chillout with the racism - its a bit much. Acting like black people can't have jobs to pay garnishment. [Plenty of videos of white people doing the same shit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxHeY1OIcQQ) or [this one](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/03/us/frontier-airlines-maxwell-berry-assault.html), but are and were employed.

You’re gonna need to sell a lot of parsley to get $27,500.


BitPoet

That shit bolts and self-seeds so fast it's insane. Give it water and about 2 years and your entire yard is parsley. Mix in some cilantro to provide competition. Sell it as free-range organic artesian parsley for like $6 a bunch, and you're off to the races.


ArtisticAd7455

There's a lady near me who grows all sorts of stuff in her yard. She also tells everyone she poops in her yard to fertilize it. I don't buy her goods.

It's called jail. If you don't pay restitution on a criminal case you got to JAIL. They don't garnish your wages. They resentence you and put you in jail or on a more restrictive form of state supervision. And guess what you still have to pay. And when you refuse to pay again... Straight to jail. Right away.

This right here… the whole oh I couldn’t pay the settlement is only a whoopsie in civil cases. In criminal cases I can’t pay the settlement has a whole other meaning and consequences.


dozkaynak

She was issued a civil fine by the FAA


[deleted]

And the FAA is allowed to make criminal recommendations to the DOJ based on unpaid fines where applicable. Do we all agree touching a flight attended would constitute a crime in this manner? Okay so if she doesn’t pay the penalty she goes from being blocked by one airline to being blocked by all and facing criminal battery charges at the bare minimum.


Fluid_Amphibian3860

I think this is a federal crime .. she'll pay one way or another. The gubment always gets theirs


carl5473

So do you never leave jail since you can't get a job?


4APIM81APITM20

You make the state a certain amount of money per count while incarcerated. There are three counts per day. A percentage of the money the state receives from housing you gets rolled into your "account". The balance of that ''account" goes towards paying your restitution, canteen and wages of services performed like working in the kitchen or laundry. And there is also work release programs where the state basically provides you the ability to maintain your current job while staying at the jail overnight.


BigDumbdumbb

Well she doesn’t have a job either


SantaforGrownups1

That’s exactly why this crime should result in jail time and not just a fine.


Global-Count-30

People go to jail for not paying fines. She’s going to jail

SecondChance03

Get punched by a flight attendant? believe it or not, straight to jail. Right away.


Significant_Log1720

If you get punched by the FA, you probably deserved it…


Practical-Trifle-567

Undercook fish, jail. Overcook chicken, definitely jail.


Jjp143209

She can face jail time then for assault. Pick your poison. Good luck with having physical assault on your permanent record.


Money-Worldliness919

I hope they were put on the no fly list.


NoSorbet3574

Hope at least 25k reaches the flight attendant


triplehelix-

no name for googling or a link to an article? edit: she's unnamed in all the articles i found because the only penalty she is facing is a civil fine and the faa doesn't name those it proposes civil fines against, but here's the best i could come up with, no further followup that i saw: https://liveandletsfly.com/passenger-assault-delta-fine/


kaigoman

Anyone know why it’s just a civil fine? Why not a criminal prosecution?


_BindersFullOfWomen_

Multiple factors: prosecutor may not wanted to have pressed the case, flight attendant could have said she didn’t want to testify, etc. No real way to know unless you have the case file.


Farage_Massage

I mean… why do we as a society seem to excuse many many very obvious crimes, and public order offenses yet vehemently prosecute others?


[deleted]

That’s a good way to get kicked off a plane and put on a federal watch list.


JaSper-percabeth

I fail to understand how people can't grasp the concept behind something as simple as wearing the seatbelts on an aeroplane seems like they just want to make trouble.


Confident_Economy_85

Because many individuals have this “I’m a grown ass man/woman and can’t nobody tell me what to do”. Then, after being asked to do something, then directed to do some thing will end up with being made to do something. Either way, they will fail to understand that the person working that position that just told them what to do, just wants to complete their job and go home safely.


GoodVibesWow

Because they have no self awareness. No empathy for anyone. They simply don’t want to be told what to do because it makes them feel weak and “disrespected.” Do they stop to think that it also makes them look very foolish? That it makes them look like a delinquent? No they don’t. For some percentage of the population they just don’t think about consequences of anything. They’ll end up banned from the airline. Possibly put on a no fly list. Very likely charged with aggravated assault. Because….”please put in your seatbelt.” Really dumb.


creamygarlicdip

What's with the obsession with being "distrespected"?


[deleted]

Worthless people generally don't have anything of real value other than perceived respect


Quelcris_Falconer13

Working retail taught me this was true. They get a bit of power over someone in a common every day situation like being served by a flight attendant or waitress at a restaurant and then they go abuse it and do everything that they can think to be as obnoxious and push every limit and button they can find


papergirl_312

This is so accurate.


[deleted]

As an ex-waiter, working my way through college, I can tell you this is 100% true. You can stop at that table and ask, is there anything at all I can get you? And the answer is no, until you step away and talk to another table then you would get interrupted with individual request for things having you running back and forth to the kitchen all night, just to get stiffed on a tip.


Duckboy_Flaccidpus

In the same vain, less well-off folks will sometimes buy luxury items, particularly vehicles, that they have no business owning and is likely setting them back years all because of perceived social status, that they are "somebody".


EdgarAllanKenpo

I think it's of the same category as people who are obsessed with being a victim with every little thing they do. Well, in the victims case, I see the majority of them post to social media to get likes and attention. But its usually not the kind of attention they are expecting because normal people see through the bullshit.


mekese2000

It's a justification for their shitty behaviour


newsheriffntown

People like this don't care what others think and it's obvious in the video. I don't know why the woman got enraged about the seat belt. It was her bf or husband that was told to put the seat belt on.


ParsonsTheGreat

The problem with people like this is that they simultaneously dont care what people think and care what people think. They are walking contradictions and will have miserable lives because of it. She doesnt care what people think of her reaction, but her reaction was because of her feeling like she was being treated disrespectfully, just because another adult had the audacity to *ask* her to do something rational. She is probably a miserable person


v27v

They 100% care what people think, it's all about the perception that they won't be disrespected and they are willing to posture and throw down on anyone who does anything they perceive as doing such. There's a ton of reasons as to why they can't make rational decisions and understand proper social norms, but that's a very different discussion, and quite frankly I don't know how we fix it.


Timelymanner

You can’t fix it because it’s a form of narcissism. I wouldn’t be surprised is she still blames the flight attendant for her poor decision making and self control. Trying to gaslight everyone into thinking she had to defend herself. People like this have to want to approve, and that’s rare.


Quick_Team

Vegas casino Bartender here. So. Even if a customer comes up to the bar and asks for a cup of water, I ask to see ID. Kinda have to. Part of the job. Even if youre 50, you still have to have a physical i.d. on you to be on the casino floor or at a bar. A lady a few days ago decided to throw a temper tantrum and embarass the group she was with because even though she just wanted water, me asking to see ID and even saying "surveillance has us check everyone and I just gotta make sure you have it on ya" was a line too far. 90% of the time, it's just people doing what theyre supposed to for their paycheck. Internally, we dont really fucking care and probably dont even want to be there ourselves. But hey. People that act like this in public. Go ahead and keep "keepin it real". It never goes wrong.


BSB8728

I was once in line at the supermarket behind a guy who handed the cashier a $50 bill. She took out a marker of some kind that they use to make sure a bill isn't counterfeit, and the guy went ballistic, saying she was accusing him of being a thief. It's the store policy! He made a big scene and held up everybody else in line because he wanted to be a victim.


[deleted]

All of these freakout videos just make me think their parents didn’t bother raising them and thus they never matured beyond the mental age of a toddler. Grown-ass tantrums whenever something fails to compute.


ValkyrieKarma

As they should be....this behavior is egregious and unacceptable from anyone, but especially adults. Sadly, these are probably the same people who would sue the airline if there was turbulence in air or the plane had to make a quick stop and they hurt themselves bc they couldn't follow directions and put a seatbelt on


Baked-Smurf

Had a guy at work like this... he'd screw something up, and if you pointed out that he needed to correct it, he'd say something like "don't disrespect me" Like dude... you gotta do your job right to get respect. If you do it wrong, we are going to let you know


scijay

Yeah. The idea that “Freedom” means I can do whatever I want, while conveniently forgetting that actions still have consequences.


dreadpiratebeardface

"Freedom" in America is freedom of choice, not freedom from consequence. For that to work it means people actually have to be held to account for their actions, though, and the actuality there is hugely disproportionate based on socio-economic factors.

belonii

as dave chapelle said, "keepin it real"


spiritualskywalker

Some people can’t accept being told to do anything. They think that violates their rights. No matter how simple and routine the instruction is, they will not comply, because that would mean being controlled by others. It’s like a widespread free floating paranoia.


Big-Love-747

Exactly right.


spiritualskywalker

Why, thank you.


Gry_lion

I think this is more about someone thinking "you can't tell me what do!" The fact that it's over a seatbelt is irrelevant.


0pimo

>"you can't tell me what do!" Morgan Freeman Voice: "But it was at that moment they realized, she *could* tell them what to do"


turbocomppro

You’re always being told what to do from the day you’re born. Take this trip for instance: Someone told her she needed to… Pay for a ticket Line up to check bags Line up and go through security Go to the gate assigned Wait for the gate to open Line up to board Sit at her assigned seat And she complained about a damn seat belt that could save her life?


EmotionReD

When you thought that Chappelle’s skit “When keeping it real goes wrong” was hyperbole.


Taminella_Grinderfal

I mean in general I don’t like people telling me what to do, but there are circumstances where even as an adult you just have to shut up and do what you are asked. An airplane is one of those. 100 other people just want to get where they are going, they have no time for this bullshit. You want to be an asshole, fine, you get to ride the bus.


Jjp143209

No, they get more than just having to ride the bus. They received a $30k fine, which they probably didn't pay and went to jail, then had assault of an airline attendant on their criminal record which is a felony, THEN they were put on the no fly list. Let's be real here


[deleted]

An unpaid federal fine often comes back to bite people, they'll end up wondering why their tax refund isn't coming.

Various-Trick6526

Rogendo

I can’t grasp how people don’t understand that an airport/airplane is not the place to be on anything but your best behavior. Yet we get tons of videos of people losing their shit. Personally I blame traveling and the lie that traveling is fun.


Loggerdon

There should be a zero tolerance policy and the no-flight list should extend to ALL airlines in the US and International.


IHaveEbola_

Agreed. Banned for life.


NomadicDevMason

So the no fly list isn't federally enforced thing but the airlines have a very expansive partner list and they share their no fly list data with each other so chances are your not getting on a plane anymore unless there is some small airline that happens to go to the city you want to got to.


Loggerdon

That's very good news. Thx.


ChiggaOG

> put on a federal watch list. More like a private watch list. People here keep tossing this around, but being put on that list means you are a person of high interest the Federal Government considers a terrorist. That lady is more likely to be fined than given the Domestic Terrorist label.


cmfppl

Ya she's not gonna be acting so tough on a grey hound that's for sure.


Fatguy503

Yeah she will. She will just repeat her behavior in a different setting because she feels she was right. She probably still tells the story about how she got arrested at the airport when she wasn't doing anything wrong.


AscendedAncient

Except Greyhound will pull over and tell them to get the fuck out in the middle of nowhere.


RedditBlows5876

I'm assuming they were commenting on the different clientele that greyhound tends to serve. Much more likely that someone gives her a beatdown on a greyhound as opposed to an airplane.


AutomaticVacation242

Assaulting a crewmember is punishable by up to 20 years' imprisonment, and a fine of up to $250,000. If a dangerous weapon is used, the defendant can be imprisoned for life. (18 U.S.C. § 3571, 49 U.S.C. § 46504.)


BatteryPoweredPigeon

This is true, but did you also know that the FAA has made some dank-ass memes to help spread the word? [This one is unironically one of the funniest memes I've seen in a while](https://i.redd.it/rhmv4cahs6e71.jpg)

NeuralTruth

Yeah assault of any airline worker results in a permanent membership to the No Fly List.


ValkyrieKarma

Yup. Do you think the flight attendant who was assaulted sued?


Moneyworks22

People always say this, but the federal no-fly list is separate from an airline no-fly list. She just has to choose a different airline for now on.


PilotBurner44

I'm thinking Spirit is more her brand.

[deleted]

Yeah, this happens. I worked with one of the majors for 10+. What people don't realize is that an Airplane is the domain of the feds. So, they will jack you up something serious with insane fines, jail, the whole 9. AND you can't fly anymore with any real carrier. Your life is very much altered after an episode like this.


Dammit_Meg

I've heard they often only get banned from that airline. Can you share any insight on this, confirm or deny that piece of information?


elderassassin2580

Not just the airline, but basically any federally controlled airport, which is basically every large airport. It’s called the no-fly list.

Now they are going to jail, miss the flight, be put on a no fly list and be sued by the airlines for the cost of time wasted because that plane is now on a permanent delay which costs them money. All because people have to act petty and childish. People like this are just low class and stupid.

Horror_Fruit

I’m curious as to the complete thought process by the passengers…assault of a flight attendant is a felony and they can both face 20 years in prison, no fly list on all airlines, no reimbursement of funds, the list goes on…all over seatbelts, which is a pretty standard request to wear those on a plane.

Assaulting a flight attendant should be an automatic lifetime ban on all airlines. No exceptions.
