Alcohol air-travel side effect: failure to maintain an

My husband, a prominent attorney was flying to Texas from Washington and had a bit to drink before his flight. While we were in the gate area, one of the flight attendants arrived and was standing at the check in counter to speak with the ticket agent. I approached the flight attendant and asked him if he would please allow my husband on board due to an important trial that would be taking place the next morning. It was imperative that my husband was in Texas that night. After assuring the flight attendant that my husband would be very calm and probably sleep the entire flight, the flight attendant agreed. However, when my husband was at the boarding door of the plane, the male attendant we had been speaking to denied boarding to my husband after he had agreed to allow him on the plane! Why would he do this when my husband was not causing any trouble?

 

 

 

The Sky Steward would like to congratulate your husband on his manipulation skills. He has somehow managed to have you project your anger onto the airline staff rather than where is should be, on him! Airlines are prohibited by the FAA (FAR 121.575)  from boarding any passenger who is intoxicated. Any passenger or crew member for that matter that is under the influence is strictly forbidden to fly.

 

After further research, The Sky Steward discovered that this passenger verbally assaulted the male flight attendant at the door of the plane. It should have never reached this point since an airline must never knowingly allow a drunk person on board an aircraft ($25,000 fine)

 

The Sky Steward suggests that you find another attorney besides your husband to file your divorce papers.
