£85,000 bill for disgraceful misbehaviour on a Jet2 flight

Seems like a good outcome. £85,000 bill as well.

That’s an old looking 26 year old. Certainly hasn’t aged well.

That will get appealed for sure. I agree she should get a prison sentence for that but I bet you she appeals under "mental health" act or something and get it suspended.

Out of interest what is the reason for the 2 RAF jets being called out ? What exactly can they do in a situation like this ? I know if there is a hijacking with intent to crash into a landmark or something they can be used to shoot down the plane before it reaches said landmark but when it's just some mental drunk woman having a barney what is their purpose ?

In the report it said they were used to escort the plane back to where it came from but why would it need an escort, if she went mental again what are the jets going to do about it ?

The pilots were probably aware of an incident, but Jet2 flights often only have 3 air stewardesses, and they were probably struggling to get information whilst the incident occurred so maybe had to assume the worst.

Most likely standard procedure after 911, they don't take any risks.

great, now we have to foot the bill for her upkeep. can't we just deport her to Wuhan?

Rroff · 12 Feb 2020 at 17:21

Says in the article the jets were sent in error but better to be safe in that kind of situation and be sure IMO.

Mr Saxby said she had been diagnosed with mental ill health and had not touched alcohol since 22 June.

Lol 26 more like 46, That will be the poverty and alcohol it is the one thing that will guarantee a womans looks go down the toilet. I have seen many go down that route first thing to go is the figure, Then the face.

She's clearly got a drink problem, as she seems to do a min wage (or close to) job and lives with her parents I don't think they have any hope of collecting on that apparent bill. I guess it perhaps does send a message to people who are property owners and/or have more assets... but then again they're probably less likely to have that sort of issue to the same extent as this woman who already has previous for assault several times.

If the government scraps benefit cap she may be able to pay some back. Proper loser.

Would she have been able to open that door? I was under the impression it's impossible to do mid flight due to the external pressure? Let's say she had opened, I guess anyone local not tightly buckled would be sucked off, lots of blowing and many ears popped, but for the most part wouldn't a quick reduction in height and then landing been the outcome?

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

malachi · 13 Feb 2020 at 07:20

She be out in 6 months or less probably.

not possible when pressurised.

Might not be possible to open the door but the last thing people on a plane want to see is some nut trying to open it whilst screaming 'I'm going to kill you all...'

Does sticking "some nut" in prison for a year seem like a particularly good idea?
