Agree.

Agree, or at the very least, I would have tried.

I never said it was "all attributable to the carrier". I wrote:

I felt the need to post as I note that according to this report, Frontier crew were suspended.........
Given all the time I spend up in those fun aluminum tubes (as some people call them), I've seen all kinds of things, not all involving fighting, abusing cabin crew or forcing diversions.
And Jon Ostrower was also right in his tweet, that bad behaviour existed in the old days but no one had phones and cameras to record it all and share it almost instantly with the world.
I certainly agree with you that on this flight, that guy had way too much to drink (and no one yet knows how much he may have had before he boarded).
It seems airlines are struggling with what to do with pandemic pax. No one is testing them before boarding to see if they are in any condition to fly (and I'm sure there are some U.S. or state laws preventing this). Some airlines have refused to serve any alcohol in coach for now. Doesn't matter, people are loading up at bars in airports. Some are carrying their own onboard.
I certainly don't blame Frontier. The exact same idiocy has been on exhibit on all the other airlines and in a number of airports. I posted this thread because it bothered me that the crew were suspended. It may be airline protocol, but it looks bad when they were the ones who had to find a solution and with limited resources while the flight was in the air.
