RE: Abuse in the cabin

Like most things in our society we look for blame rather than the truth. A person loses his or her cool on an aircraft and because alcohol is smelt on them the blame falls sqarely on that. There are other contributary factors at work here, stress for example, not everybody thinks flying is the ultimate experience, I certainly dont , but its a means of getting from A to B quickly, so they have a couple of drinks before they board just to calm their nerves( because they cant have a smoke?).
Then there’s the take off, personally I think its the best part of flying, their nerves are now on edge, their body’s tense, then the aircraft levels out, the warning lights go out and refreshments are offered, ah! another couple of drinks’ll do, all inhibitions gone, got to let the tension out, then POW!!! they lose it……….Fortunately this scenario doesn’t happen on every flight,in my opinion alcohol is the end product of a series of events that finally leads to air rage .
