Low fare, don`t care


Ive noticed that when airline ticket prices go down the quality of passenger also falls. When I worked as a air host for a european low fares airline I experienced the everyday threats of poor behaviour in the aircraft. On a flight from a baltic country early at six in the morning the crew experienced a fright when a drunk passanger threatened the pursor to provide him with more alcoholic beverages. When the pursor had decided that the person had had enough to drink already he became ever more aggressive holding the cabin crew member by the neck. The pursor then immediately contacted the pilots and the flight was diverted to the nearest airport and the aggressor was then arrested by local police.
This is one in many experiences cabin crew have to go through everyday. Should cabin crew training include self defence? How can the airlines prevent these from happening, should all passengers be checked for criminal records?
