Airline to Cancel Premium Status of Unruly Passengers

Russian carrier Aeroflot says it plans to cancel the frequent flier status of unruly passengers in the future — because passengers with premium status are the most likely to misbehave.

The airline reported nine cases of “intolerable” conduct from passengers, including physical assault on flight attendants and other staff in 2018 alone. And it says that “most” of the cases involved passengers with premium status. Passengers who lose their status will not be able to earn it again.

Good idea and even create a black list of bad passengers shared by all companies with a probation period before being erased of the list. Those people with bad behaviours pollute everybody.

Other airlines already do this, they just don't publicize it.

Right on, Aeroflot! I wouldn't mind seeing an outright ban on future all air travel for these knuckleheads.

And if you don't comply they will invite you and your Family to dine at an Italian Restaurant in Salisbury in the UK. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/06/europe/russian-spy-salisbury-uk-investigation-intl/index.html
