Several years ago I worked at CO. I went to the daily operations meetings. In the almost 2years I attended there were very few incidents.
The two that stand out in my memory.
During the strike a FA paid for her tkt from LAX - HNl. When they were exactly 1/2 way she went to the FC lav, disrobed, entered the FC cabing and squatted and pooped in the middle of First Class. (as you can imagine a few vouchers were given out that day.)
The second one - PAX stood up in coach - read a few verses from his Bible then proceeded to charge the cockpit... it took several of the crew to restrain him.
The funny thing was- a few weeks later I had lunch with a friend who was on the flight. In fact she was the row behind him.
She said, the first clue was when he picked up his meal and walked back to the lav and locked himself in to eat. ha ha.
All in all - I agree with most postings. The news will blow a few incidents out of proportion.
