一名空乘所在的工会在给美国西南航空公司(Southwest Airlines)的首席执行官的信中写道,她在上周末遭到一名乘客袭击,并因此失去了两颗牙齿,作为西南航空的乘客录制的“错误行为”之一,此类事件在4月8日至5月15日期间发生了惊人的477次。

可能更令人吃惊的是,西南航空此时尚未重启其机上酒精饮品的销售,但此类事件的数量依然在增长。

西南航空乘务员的工会组织TWU Local 556的总裁琳恩·蒙哥马利在信中写道:“我今天给您写信是因为我们无法容忍自己的成员遭到如此无礼的虐待,而且我希望得到您的帮助,并通过您的领导力来结束这些闹剧。这类事件的数量已经创下历史新高,而且发展到了令人忍无可忍的地步,同时,乘客不遵守规定的事件也变得越发暴力。”

上周事件中的乘客在落地后便被收监。

工会要求航空公司在航班上增加联邦空乘保安的数量,并更加明确地告知乘客不良行为带来的后果,包括罚款和入狱。此外还要求公司制定更有连续性的政策,例如不允许从上一个航班被驱逐下来的乘客轻松地登上另一个航班。

信件写道:“我们希望您能够保持强硬立场,以确保这些不守规矩的乘客将不会受到西南航空的欢迎。”

几个月以来,美国联邦航空管理局(Federal Aviation Administration)一直在针对不守规矩的乘客加强其执法力度。一名乘客因为在2月搭乘捷蓝航空(JetBlue Airways)时拒绝佩戴口罩,于本月早些时候被罚款32750美元。

今年1月,另一名西南航空乘客因为拒绝佩戴口罩而被要求离开飞机,该乘客“称这两位空乘是‘可悲的人’,并用其书包击打了其中一位空乘。”随后该乘客被罚16500美元。

“面对那些在航班上制造事端,或不遵守机组人员指令的乘客,美国联邦航空管理局将严格实施零容忍政策。”这家政府机构表示。(财富中文网)

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant was attacked by a passenger over the weekend and lost two teeth in the incident, according to a letter from the flight attendants's union to the carrier’s CEO. The assault was one of a stunning 477 incidents of “misconduct” recorded by Southwest passengers between April 8 and May 15.

Perhaps even more surprising, that rise in cases comes as the carrier has not yet resumed on-board alcohol sales.

“I write to you today because we cannot tolerate our beloved cohearts being abused in such a manner, and because I am asking for your help and leadership in ending these travesties,” said Lyn Montgomery, president of TWU Local 556, in the letter. “This unprecedented number of incidents has reached an intolerable level, with passenger noncompliance events also becoming more aggressive in nature.”

The passenger in this weekend’s incident was taken into custody upon landing.

The union is asking the carrier to increase the number of federal air marshals on flights and more clearly inform passengers about the ramifications of bad actions, which can range from fines to jail time. It’s also asking for more consistency in company policies, such as not allowing passengers who are removed from a flight to simply board the next one.

“We ask that you take a strong stance to ensure that unruly passengers are not welcome to travel with us. Period. Full stop,” the letter read.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been increasing its enforcement against unruly passengers for several months. Earlier this month, a passenger who refused to wear a mask on a JetBlue flight in February was fined $32,750.

In January, another Southwest passenger who was asked to leave a flight after refusing to wear a mask “called each of the two flight attendants ‘pathetic,’ and hit one of the flight attendants with his bags.” He was fined $16,500.

“The FAA is strictly enforcing a zero-tolerance policy toward passengers who cause disturbances on flights or fail to obey flight crew instructions,” the government agency said.
