Flight attendants duct tape unruly passenger to seat

A 22 year old man was flying on Frontier Airlines from Philadelphia to Miami and became unruly. The article said that he had 2 drinks, ordered a 3rd, and spilled it on himself but it isn't clear if the drinks were alcoholic. I don't think Frontier offers alcoholic drinks. When we flew them years ago they even charged passengers for soda. Anyway the guy got up to go change his shirt and he groped 2 female flight attendants. He went back to his seat and started screaming about how his parents were worth millions of dollars. (sure--that's why he was flying Frontier ) A male flight attendant approached him and the guy punched him in the face. The crew eventually subdued the guy by duct taping him to a seat and he was arrested by the police when the flight landed. Bizarrely Frontier suspended the flight crew for their actions. The guy was clearly out of control. It isn't like they had many options at their disposal. I think they should all get raises!

I think that parachutes should be used for unruly passengers.

That's not only unruly but a grave misconduct. What did he think of those air hostesses, harem girls?

While I agree I can see why the susmpion was needed. The attendants need to be held accountable for their actions and supposedly undergo training on how to handle passangers such as this.

They did what they could it sounds like. I would have knocked him out

I LOVE this story; and I would have given the crew promotions and a star on their uniforms.

Suspending the crew was a strange decision. He had to be lauded

Also... I just realized that I have a friend who was flying from Philadelphia to Florida on Frontier yesterday. I should check on him.

I hope they were suspended with pay!
