Hope they throw the book at him. This type of behavior shouldn't be accepted on the street,let alone on board an aircraft!

Hope he cops the full force of the law,but,he probably won't
Lock him up,I say,and hopefully the airline will recover some costs.

Some of these types need a class action put up against him from each and every passenger for disruption to their transport

Yes, but prefer them to land in daytime to get a good look and a photo or two.

[Jim M]

Jarden,that's a fair call I guess!

As for this bloke,after reading the article that Ryan posted,I believe that he definitely needs locking up. You can't help people like this and he should also be banned from boarding another aircraft - PERIOD!!

May seem tough,but I have no time for this kind of stuff.

Well, he's already got bail, so there goes the idea of locking him up.

Also, how was he able to bring the alcohol on board? Wouldn't it have been way over the 100ml liquid limit?

Agree Ryan, the first part of the legal system has failed by letting him out on bail.

He should pay all costs to the airline and get banned from all airlines for a couple of years as a mininum but I doubt that will happen.

I suspect he must have bought the alcohol duty free past security. I often wonder at what point in time will they ban all alcohol from air travel.

Ryan,he was always going to get bail,that's just the way the soft legal system is. What we need now is a tough magistrate or judge who is prepared to see his crimes for what they truly are and take the required tough action when sentencing occurs.
It probably won't happen,but we can live in hope.

Cheers

A resolution to the matter:

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-...tas-passenger/

"A Qantas passenger whose behaviour was described by a Perth magistrate today as drunken, aggressive and obnoxious will spend four months behind bars and has been left with a $40,000 bill to cover the cost of fuel dumped during an emergency landing for his arrest."
