[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The woman was restrained aboard a flight from Dallas to Charlotte last July

  • The FAA says she fell into the aisle and threatened to hurt a flight attendant

  • She allegedly tried to open the cabin door, struck a flight attendant 'repeatedly' over the head and kicked, headbutted and spat at others

  • The woman was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation, before being placed on American Airlines' no-fly list.

  • Her record-high fine was announced alongside another fine of $77,272 for a Delta passenger on a July flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta

  • Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has warned passengers not to be 'jerks'

#3 
Only placed on American Airlines' no-fly list.
Hell the judge should have locked her up for 10 years for endangering the other 100+ passengers.
Then placed her on a Total Airline ban list for life.

The Mega Karen's & Daren's of this world need to be sent a message.

#4 Why should they, people committing REAL crimes are being slapped on the wrist and let go. Not to mention the stewardesses seem to have gone the way of the teacher, go against their little bit of authority and they go overboard.
