Brothers assault Pilot
A man was kicked off a plane for being under the influence, his brother went with him, then they attacked the pilot. Nice. Wonder how many people that delayed.

They're definitely a wholesome looking couple.

nice to see the other passengers and crew subdued them until the police came.

How come the BDO's did not spot their belligerent intent before they got on the aircraft?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Thank heavens they didn't throw penuts at the pilot, otherwise they'd be facing federal charges instead of just state charges.

I was going to ask if Goalie played against these guys, but I doubt there are many hockey players in San Juan.

I hope the two brothers are brought up on federal charges, and if found guilty, serve the higher end of the federal sentencing guidelines.

Glad to hear other crew members and pax assisted in restraining them.
