The Red Eye

Restraining dangerous passengers is something no cabin crew ever wants to deal with. Being trapped in an enclosed aircraft with someone who is threatening safety is scary.
Recently, a member of the flight crew had to be restrained after stabbing the captain with a crash axe and attempting to take control of the aircraft. That is a definite cause for restraint. But sometimes you have to think outside the box and look at the individual passenger causing trouble. Could it be something else causing the behaviour other than ill intent? A diabetic in need of sugar? Mental health issues? Or perhaps a drug abuse problem. In which case, is there a better way to stop the passenger causing injury to himself or others?
In this episode, we hear the true story of a flight crew who were about to restrain a passenger who looked like he was trying to access the flight deck, until one flight attendant noticed something that changed the way they treated him.

On today's episode, we hear Susan's blog entry for October where she looks back at her flights for the month and breaks down what she's been through. This month, it's dealing with a passenger who dropped a hot cup of tea on her lap...

When the hot passenger on board becomes a disruptive passenger!
We're back with another passenger behaving badly story today and we loved the twist at the end!
When the crew member who donated this story told us what happened, we knew we had to tell it - but would have to use the censor bleep button quite a lot. Because the pure filth coming out of this passenger's mouth would have us all turing down the volume and wondering what sort of podcast this is!
If you like short audiobooks, true stories that sound like fiction or a glimpse into the crazy lives of cabin crew - then listen to The Red Eye podcast!

Passengers board a plane for many reasons. A single plane can hold honeymooners, stag and hen dos, families, dream vacationers, people moving to a different country, pilgrims, and business travellers. People also fly for sad reasons, visiting a sick loved one, a death in the family or leaving a broken relationship. It's one of the reasons I used to ask my cabin crew to chat a little with their passengers during service - to see if anyone needed a little extra attention, help celebrate or provide comfort.
The person who donated this story told us that this passenger that boarded their flight was a firm favourite with all the crew. He was kind, full of fun and flying back to visit the island he was born on 94 years ago. He touched the lives of all the crew that day for many reasons.
Listen to this free short audiobook, based on a true story, with a guest actor - David Monteith playing Earl.

Cabin Crew are not always saints, sometimes they do things they shouldn't do, and there's even been times when they've broken the law!
This story is one of those times. A true story where a crew member thought she was getting away with a crime but ended up having to face some serious consequences, along with all the other crew on that flight. Guilty or not!
