Airlines, flight attendants, and pilots are calling for the US Justice Department to prosecute unruly and violent passengers. 

 

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday, the trade group Airlines for America and unions for pilots and flight crew cited a "substantial increase in and growing escalation of passengers' unruly and disruptive behavior onboard aircraft, particularly toward crew members. These incidents pose a safety and security threat." 

 

In January, the Federal Aviation Administration announced a zero-tolerance policy toward passengers who cause disturbances aboard aircraft or violate federal rules by refusing to follow flight crew instructions. 

 

Since then, the FAA has received more than 3,000 reports of unruly behavior and opened 465 investigations into assaults, threats of violence, or interference with air crews, the AP reports.

 

Many cases involved passengers who refused to wear masks aboard aircraft during the coronavirus pandemic. 

 

Through May, the FAA has sought some kind of enforcement action more than 400 times this year and pursued 57 civil penalties. 

 

So far, it has announced $368,000 in fines on 21 passengers. 

 

Noting that federal law calls for up to 20 years imprisonment for passengers who intimidate or interfere with crew members, the letter urged "that more be done to deter egregious behavior, which is in violation of federal law and crewmember instruction ... the federal government should send a strong and consistent message through criminal enforcement that compliance with federal law and upholding aviation safety are of paramount importance." 

 

The Justice Department confirmed that it had received the letter but declined to comment.

 

 

 

QUESTIONS:

1) Why are the calls for the prosecution of unruly and violent passengers becoming stronger?

 

2) Talk about the Federal Aviation Administration's zero-tolerance policy. How many lawsuits have they pursued?

 

3) What is the proposed punishment for such passengers? Why is there a strong necessity for this?

 

4) Do you personally find the long imprisonment reasonable? Why or why not?

 

5) Are uncontrollable and riotous passengers commonly problematic for the Korean airline companies and on flights? Provide some details.

 

 

 

VOCABULARY:

zero-tolerance policy - forbids people in positions of authority from exercising discretion or changing punishments to fit the circumstances subjectively​
