Maybe the corporate office ordered the flight diverted...
...and maybe they didn't! The quote that I have is from the Review Journal in Las Vegas, "The flight, which was on its way to Honolulu from Las Vegas, was diverted to LAX about 10:20 a.m. after the man told the flight crew “he needed to take someone behind the woodshed” for the blanket fee.

I don't subscribe to the L.A. Times, so perhaps you know something else, like the crew allowed him to call corporate HQ from the aircraft so they could explain their "Take No Prisoner's" position. I highly doubt any crew member hooked him up to Mr. Big, and then told the captain to GO FED, on this guy.

All this over a $12.00 BLANKEE?
