FWI is the charge, and all the complaining passengers get $100.00

Too bad the did not have some cable ties, or they could have just ask him to step outside...watch out for that first step sir....

I always quietly hope for a PDX diversion on my SEA-bound flights. Figure I can get home at least an hour early and get ORC. A $100 flight credit would be icing on the cake .

This is why Alaska doesn't serve full PDBs and there's a three drink limit in the BR!

I know you were semi-joking but I wonder if they would let you get off the plane at PDX in a situation like that.

i won't lie...i've had my share of fun on flights. but if i ever feel i'm hitting the limit, i just go to sleep.

add on top of that, some of the AS flights i've had recently, the FA won't stop, and with a smile to boot!

Exciting update...or not

"Alaska Airlines Passenger Demanded Hugs from Flight Attendants Who Wouldn’t Serve Him Beer"

by Gary Leff on May 13, 2016

"A passenger pleaded not guilty after becoming belligerent and demanding hugs when flight attendants refused to serve him beer."

From KTUU

Would be interesting to know what and how much and where he drank, prior to boarding in the first place. If he wasn't stumbling-bumbling, it might have been hard for crew to deny boarding.

Flying While Stupid...who really knows
