I feel like this was an extremely common thing happening on flights than we know, but thanks to constant news and social media coverage, we get to know more about it.

But this also show the stark difference in the way both the crew reacted to these type of incidents. When the victim was convinced it was a mistake and forgave the pee-man, AA decided to escalate the issue and get the cops involved upon arrival, whereas AI was awfully quiet (even when the victim decided to raise a complaint against the offender). Although yes, the purser did send an email and now we don't even know if the ex Wells-Fargo dude did even commit the crime in the first place.

Surreal times.
