I'm sure most of the US carriers will also add him to their list. Such DOT lists, especially those result in prosecution/conviction are accessible to the other big US Carriers. In fact, I wouldn't be surprise if their insurance policies mandate that such individuals are added to their own lists. Way to shoot yourself in the foot for life, buddy. We all have bad days, but losing it to the point of violence (classy move BTW attacking someone from behind), is especially sad.

Wow! He was too crazy! He assaults with flight attendant. He asked him if he can go to First Class lavatory, but he says no. He punching his head. He will never be allowed to flying American Airlines ever again. Ban him for life! No-fly list permanently.

Heard he moved up front to a better seat..then stood up towards the front of the plane. It had nothing to do with a restroom.
Definitely a NUT JOB.

I see Y pax using the F lav all the time, and nobody tries to stop them. If I'm in F, it doesn't bother me if Y pax use the forward lav.
But I would never assault anyone over it! Maybe a little side-eye...

If the guy doesn't have a big stash of cash, it may not be worth the time and money it would cost the FA to go after him. Unless he could find a lawyer willing to take his case for free, he'd probably spend more money suing the guy than he'd ever get back.

Thanks pal! 
Yes, he have to go to hospital. He will stay in hospital for overnight observation. He will take an MRI and he need a surgery on his head. He is expecting to be okay. He will be all right.
Yup! 20 years in prison, not 10 years. Without a possibility of parole.
Actually, 20 years in federal prison, not 5 years. He will be charged with interfering of the flight crew.
There needs to be severe penalties for people like this. This moron put the lives of people in that metal tube in jeopardy. Until the Court system starts handing out significant sentences (like 10 years in jail) for these actions they will continue. Trash human beings tend to be like birds of a feather. In other words, the word gets around that assaulted an airline employee will mean you're going to big house for a long time.

Disagree. If I'm at the front of the Y cabin and the aisle is blocked by FAs and their buggy, and I gotta go, I'm going. Otherwise I usually use the aft potty. Mostly.
I see Y pax using the F lav all the time, and nobody tries to stop them. If I'm in F, it doesn't bother me if Y pax use the forward lav.
But I would never assault anyone over it! Maybe a little side-eye...
