There should be handcuffs in the cockpit available for use in situations like this. Passengers can hold him down, handcuff him, and leave him on the floor (it won't kill you to lay on the floor during landing) until the cops arrive to physically pick him up and carry him away.
And no jail time for this?

Either way, I don't think he is going to be able to get on another plane anytime soon.

Wow! He was too drunks! He can't drinks a beer anymore. He had enough already. I do not appreciate for his behavior. He cannot be threatened to FAs.

I need this attorney's business card.
Y'know, in case I ever get all beered up and decide to fight the cops. Need this guy on my team. ^

Hopefully the guy will be banned for life by WN on top of whatever else befalls him.

Absolutely! He will be banned flying for life. He cannot threatened to flight attendant. His behavior is not acceptable.

I hope this guy is permanently banned from flying WN. I am sorry that he has PTSD but he should not be flying if he doesn't take his meds (and they don't mix well with alcohol).
