25 possibly Irish/British people kicked off a flight

Xcellor · 08-03-2016 11:02AM #1

Wonder if alcohol was involved. Was quite early in the morning tho.

Personally think people involved in this type of behaviour should receive some form of punishment according to article

"Officers escorted them from the aircraft to landside where they dispersed."

Free to disrupt another plane later on.

"Some of the 25 passengers allegedly became abusive towards staff.

Police were called to intervene when the pilot refused to take off with the troublesome passengers on board."

How would you phrase it?

Tigger · 08-03-2016 11:44AM

Well were they Irish or not
Believed to be ? Surely they had passports

'Some are believed to be Irish'. Believed and some.

Still scum though.

14 year old lad in there with them as well.
Their flight got delayed for 3 hours so they were Definetely sipping the bad decision juice.

Probably a handful of the full time mad bastards got too drunk so they all left.
How drunk do you have to be, to be kicked off a plane.
I always go for pints before a flight and bring whiskey or whatever onto the flight.

I would have a couple of pints too but to be so drunk that you cause this type of problem begs the question should they even have been allowed on the plane in the first place?

Can airlines not bring in a "Passengers maybe subjected to breathalyzer".

If you are over a certain limit you aren't allowed on the plane. I'm not talking "drink drive limits" but a sensible medium. Safety should be the primary concern of airlines and letting drunk yobs on planes is not safe.

They would stop you getting into a nightclub why would airlines let you into a small enclosed space where you can't be "kicked off" for hours.

"Irish"

Xcellor · 08-03-2016 12:20PM

It's a british package holiday operator so it's most likely Irish/British.

It does make you wonder.

As an auld fecker, I do have a view. There seems a lot of people "just doing their jobs" - no more, no less.
" I'm here to check the boarding passes - not drunks"
"I'm checking for terrorists - not drunks"

Of course I have loads of sources for this view.

BTW I have a couple of pints before I get on one of those death tubes planes as well. Not drunk, just nicely mellow and relaxed.

So what do you do everytime you get out of a car after a successfull journey ?? - drop to the ground in tearful joy that you escaped certain death in a machine 10000s of times more likely to kill you then a "death tube" ??

Your Face · 08-03-2016 12:41PM

I disagree.

Seeing as you are probably too sensible to attract the ire for translating that, I will take it a little further. These will be mostly British passport holders of an Irish extraction. There will also be a third ethnicity involved.

Cue the apologists coming on to say lots of Irish people have a problem with drink while conveniently ignoring that there were never 25 of them thrown off a morning flight together despite vastly outnumbering this 'ethnic' group. Then the follow up: "there are a few bad apples but whataboutery, yada, yada, yada......."

I'm perfectly, if irrationally happy in a car, bike, bus, train, boat or ship.

Many thanks:cool:

Are you on the same thread as the rest of us, or are you just continuing it by yourself there? O.o What 'ethnic' group? What, in short, are you on about?

I'd imagine these passengers are a part of our ' ethnic ' minority.
The ones that are English but speak with ' irish' accents.

Not even being snarky here, I'm honestly bewildered. Do you mean NI? Or English people who were born in/emigrated from Ireland/second gen Irish?

I assumed he meant Conor McGregor fans.

Or Irish men who work in Oz. I think drinking and fighting is compulsory amongst them.

Bubblypop, from all of the groups in Ireland that have displayed an ability to get drunk and brawl at the drop of a hat, which one were you alluding to?

I think I got the ire going alright and there's been plenty of 'whataboutery' later. It doesn't take long does it?

And the hilarious thing is everyone knows who we are talking about but we are not allowed to say it.

Pat Mustard · 08-03-2016 01:20PM

I bet they're English.

If they are actually Irish people, the names will likely be broadcast news in Ireland within 24 hours.

Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.

Go on, don't stop there. Tell us it's 'PC gone mad' while tugging yourself furiously to a 'traveller gypsy immigrant dole cheat' special on tv3.

No no.

The hilarious thing is you do not know the difference between "knowing" and "assuming". Of course, the assumption may prove true, or again it may be any few people from our nation of drunken fighting Irish...
