I was on this flight. I know the flight attendant. The flight attendant held her composure quite well. She took a masive amount of abuse before she called the flight deck. It was the pilots decision to land the plane after he described how he would cut off her head in Palm Springs, while on the phone. This was recorded on the flight recorder. Her concern was the safety of the flight and passengers. She did everything within reason to control the situation. Most passengers were not aware of the threat until the plane landed. That tells you she did her job well. He admitted without question to federal agents all that had happened. No witnesses were called to his trial due to his confession. And NO he is NOT allowed on any flight ever again. This flight attendant did a fantastic job at protecting the flight and passengers. Her concern was always her passengers. And she and the crew did continue to Palm Springs, they were late, but they did complete the flight without Mr. Proskin. You should pray that you have a flight attendant like her. Also maybe you should rethink your noise cancelling headphones. the people who were not aware of the threat were mostly those who could not hear what was going on.
