There's kind of a pseudo-blacklist for CPs too--ones that other FAs will call in sick when staffed with them. Last month, there was a TPE-SFO flight where they only flew with 9 FAs of which 7 of them were CPs! They couldn't find anyone on standby willing to fly with L1.
That's illegal. There are 10 emergency exits on a 777, they must have a minimum of 10. Do you mean there were 9FA's+1CP? The fact that they called in so many CP's is scary; any IRROPS would of sent the network into chaos because they would be short CPs.
The man in 2009 started off by demanding a CP give him 10 meals, one after another, after a crew member accidentally woke him up during meal service on TPE-HKG. After that, he berated the CP. She resigned right after the flight, citing psychological trauma. It made the news at the time and his excuse was he was helping to train her. Then, he demanded he be served a meal prior to takeoff a few months later so he could sleep on the TPE-HKG sector. They refused, and he demanded he be offloaded. He delayed the flight almost 40 minutes. Then, he also was notorious for checking in a ton of luggage that was overweight and he often refused to pay the sums. They waived it for him because he was a CG. The last straw was when he was caught breaking into the galley carts during boarding to get juice. He was escorted back to his seat, and the flight continued smoothly. Upon his arrival in HKG, he was blacklisted and he could not return to TPE the next day because of "safety concerns". It took BR 2 years to finally stop him from flying with them; by that time, he was already infamous in and out of the company.
