I guess we all need to stop joking around about battlefield upgrades. It can get worse.

Yes, I am very aware of that. Always got too much trouble at MIA airport. They doesn't listen, they break the law and put them on no-fly list permanently. They refused to listen to the gate agent. They are not cooperating with police, TSA, airlines, and else.

Airlines need to start adding an "entertainment surcharge" for MIA departing flights.
People pay good money to see fights.

This is why we cannot have nice things! No wonder AA and UA have banned alcohol on flights. But I can tell you from personal experience it's a SH*T show at the airports. Everyone is on high alert. high stress. Omicron, etc. safe travels flyer friends. mask up and get your boosters.

I'm not sure why deadly force would be needed when you pretty much KNOW the passengers are unarmed (or have reasonable belief they are).

Then people will make the same argument that justifies lap infants flying for free: If plane tickets become too expensive for some people, those people will probably drive instead. This is less safe and more people will die in car crashes as a result (plus road congestion will get worse, etc.). OTOH if we think that Amtrak is underutilized, convincing people to take trains instead of planes might be a good thing.

This isn't Delta. It's a charter airline --Air Century, a Dominican Charter airline.

Part of me wonders - how is this real life?
And another part of me feels like - Miami? 2021? Anything goes.
