She's She's described as slurring her words and ring unsteady, and into full DYKWIA on a 691 mile DFW-MLI on a CRJ-900. She's allegedly bragging she's rich, flying first class and grabs the FA, pulls her down on her lap, tells her she'll get her fired - and as the FA rises she slaps her. Lady DYKWIA then bangs at the cockpit door to tell the pilot about the FA.
The pilot turns the aircraft around to DFW, where police remove Ms. Rich Firstclass from the aircraft so it can resume its originally scheduled flight.
Great way to get free lodging at the "graybar lodge"; fabulous career move.
First of all she should never have made it aboard the aircraft - but is may be that the booze had not hit 12 on the Richter Scale at that point. She clearly was a danger to the flight and probably scared other passengers.
I hope that she has the full weight of the law thrown at her and has to pay every cost incurred by the detour and damages to the FA. She might not be quite as rich after that. I imagine that AA will have banned her for life. This sort of conduct must not be tolerated. Disgraceful.
