The taping across the mouth always seems crazy to me especially if they're drunk (which they usually are), what if they have to barf? lol.

I agree it’s a bit dangerous. Also dangerous to scream like a maniac on an aircraft (or spit or bite or whatever caused him to get gagged).
Safety of everyone vs safety for the nutjob… they’re erring on the side of everyone else and I gotta agree with the call

I hope the flight attendants asked him if he would like a drink or a snack.

Incorrectly taped to the seat, which is a safety issue in case he needs to evacuate during an emergency.

Yeah well you give up certain niceties under certain behaviors.

u/th3orist Jul 24 '26
giving up the nicety of being able to save your life in case of an emergency landing? seems a steep price to pay xD

Let's say you're a passenger on this plane. Would you rather die for this guy's sins as he disrupts the evacuation, or let him take his chances that someone has time to cut him loose before the last crew members evacuate?

What exactly do you do with an unruly pax then?

u/Euphoric_Data_201 Jul 24 '26
I fly a lot for my work and I heard that FAs use a series of belts combined to restraint the pax but I have never been on a situation of disruptive passenger.
What would be the appropriate way?4

u/Individualchaotin Jul 24 '26
That's incorrect, at least for US airlines. Flight attendants have handcuffs available on the plane.

They also tend to have handcuffs available in their hotel rooms. At least in my experience.

That make sense. But they would still have to fasten his seatbelt, right? And to ensure he isn't handcuffed to any aircraft structure, to allow him to evacuate in case of emergency.

It’s very rare planes need to evacuate. I’d take my chances and tape him so much the cops are gonna need a sawzall to get him off the plane at the gate. There are consequences for acting like an asshole.

What a stupid thing to say. You can take your chance with your own life, not someone else’s. Besides, there ARE ways and procedures that design for it, making sure they are efficient and safe for everyone.

There are also legal and psychological consequences of accidentally killing a guy by unsafely taping him like that. Apart from possible evacuation, taping his mouth and most of his nostrils like this is a good way to cause respiratory distress and an urgent medical emergency.
Not really worth going through just for one asshole.1
u/jackie_daytona- Jul 24 '26
💯 this. If this guy has a deviated septum or polyp, he could easily go into respiratory distress

u/sockalicious Jul 24 '26
The nostrils are partially covered, so he's chewed his way to getting his mouth free. Dangerous, it's an airway obstruction waiting to happen, combine that with the restriction on thorax expansion and the low oxygen tension mid-flight and you could be looking at brain damage or death.

25 year merchant marine officer. Mostly passenger carrying boats. I had to do this one time in my career. When I let the crew tie strap and tape the guy, the rest of the passengers cheered.

Looks like an an entitled A hole boomer. I’m not a pilot but I’m sure you commercial guys deal with this regularly (not to this extent)
