I’m not being judgmental, but I think their relationship just might be in trouble.

Both were intoxicated and acted like savages on the flight, but that is all I can share.

Not even the burning question whether it was Level 2 or Level 3?

"PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION"; fair enough.

I guess we'll find out soon enough when it gets adjudicated...maybe.

Alcohol management we are taught to watch for signs of impairment. At the ballpark you can buy from many locations the analogy of different FA’s serving these individuals.

So, level 2.

I see from this report that the gentleman who caused the disturbance will pay United $20,000. He also enjoyed some time incarcerated; is banned from flying United and was deported back to the UK. Deportation under these circumstances likely means no entry to the US.

There’s no word on how the relationship has panned out.

Seems surprising to me that such a diversion would be valued at only 20,000 USD?

My guess is that it’s designed more to hurt him financially rather than truly compensate United.
