....and yet again, why should the vast majority of us who drink alcohol responsibly be deprived of the facilities to do so - at the airport or on board - simply to accommodate those who don’t or won’t? I deplore this tendency to blame everyone and everything rather than the culprit. No question in my mind, he should have to pay the FULL cost of the diversion. One caveat here; IF the ground staff let him on board, aware that he was likely to cause disruption, then they should shoulder some of the blame but this is not always obvious at the time.
I can't believe we have reached a point in our society where the word of an individual is taken as the truth without a proper investigation to establish the true facts.
