| Drunk flight crew beat up sober passenger |
| 2004-07-20 |
| EFL DRUNKEN passengers often give air crews trouble, but Russia's leading airline today reported an 'unprecedented' reversal: a passenger was assaulted by intoxicated flight attendants. Heck, you've gotta be drunk to willingly fly on a Russian airline. Two crew members on a domestic Aeroflot flight beat up a passenger who had complained that the flight attendants were drunk, airline spokeswoman Irina Dannenberg said. The passenger, identified only as A. Chernopup, was aboard a recent flight from Moscow to the Siberian city of Nizhnevartovsk, Ms Dannenberg said. Heck, you've gotta be drunk to willingly fly into Siberia. Seeing that the crew were intoxicated and were not fulfilling their duties, Chernopup asked to be served by a sober and competent flight attendant, Ms Dannenberg said. He was then beaten up by two crew members. Vodka afterburners. |

| #2 How did I guess that this incident took place in Russia before opening to the article? They beat up Churn-a pup 'cause this flight didn't have any sober, competent flight attendants on board. My,the demands that some people make! |
