Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

Those rabid anti-vaxxers will be revolting!

 

An American Airlines plane travelling from Miami to London has had to turn back because a passenger refused to wear a face mask, the airline has said.

American Airlines said flight AAL38 with 129 passengers on board returned to Miami where police were waiting.

They escorted a woman in her 40s off the plane, reports say.

She has been placed on a list of people barred from flying with American Airlines, pending further investigation, the airline said.

The Wednesday flight turned around about an hour into its journey, according to tracking service FlightAware.

The woman was sitting in first class, another passenger Steve Freeman told Miami's Local 10 news.


"There was a lot of drinking involved and I was nervous. She sat behind us in first class," he said.

"I could see the writing on the wall - they gave her a lot of warnings, so we were kind of ready for it."

Passengers on the flight to London's Heathrow Airport were re-booked on to another flight for Thursday.

"Everyone was shocked," one passenger told CBS station WFOR-TV after getting off the Wednesday flight.

Another passenger said she was disappointed.

"They wouldn't really say anything, and I don't believe they told the flight attendants anything either, because they said that all they could say was there was an extreme incident with a passenger and they had to turn around," she told the station.


Airlines reported nearly 6,000 incidents involving unruly passengers last year and 151 in the first two weeks of this year, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Most of them involved passengers who refused to wear masks.

 

Little harsh on the other passengers, finish the flight, have the passenger arrested on arrival and sent straight back on the next flight etc to face the music. The passenger should now in my opinion be liable for the financial implications for causing the flight to turn around

 

My son works as cabin crew out of Gatwick. He’s had several occasions where passengers have refused to wear face masks despite several warnings and despite them being fully aware of the regulations. It’s only when they inform the passenger that the police will meet them off the flight and that his airline won’t be flying them back from their holiday that they become tearfully apologetic and compliant.

 

Sorry - posted by accident!!

 

Been in place a while that.
My Mum is one who has been sent a PCR to keep at home ready because they work best if they’re administered as quickly as possible so if she tests positive on LFT she has to post the PCR straight away and they’ll process and then get her the drugs ASAP if that test is positive.
Seems a sensible way to do it

 

It certainly does
Putting all the resources into the most vulnerable
Instead of imprisoning the fit and healthy

 

How would that affect you?

Well done to this officer.

Unless City are playing at Bramall Lane, arrest plese.

 

Natural immunity is as effective as the vaccine.

 

Saved me a few quid next month!

 

Snap! Just wish other countries would follow suit and save me a little more

 

Still have to lash out to leave the country. Maybe that’ll go soon too.

 

Doesn't that depend on where you're going to?

 

Dunno. All I know it applies when going to France.

 

Also applies to the USA where you have to test negative the day before you travel ( approx £30 per person ) or show recovery from covid in the last 90days ( approx £95 per person )
