In such a small sealed environment? That may feel satisfying after the gents are deboarded and isolated from the passengers & crew, but for in-flight use I was thinking of tasers.

I was just thinking “Ryanair to Tenerife is probably the same vibe as Spirit to Cancun.”

… as I recall, passengers are not allowed to drink on Greyhound — some do anyway, and yet the company has not abandoned the whole concept of “having rules”

I would make an exception for children…people don’t learn how to act places if you never let them go there. But as to the rest, honestly, I don’t think serving guns and cars on airplanes is really a good idea either.

They were better behaved. And their brains were larger.

I rarely visit Scotland.
You see, the whole extended family came to Canada in the 1950s. I was born in Canada, and grew up in that family.
So now when I hear someone with a Scottish accent, my brain tries to slot them in as family, someone to be trusted, and that could be fatal!

Arguably cave people needed to have much better social behaviour than this in order to be able to survive as a relatively small group in a very harsh and unforgiving environment.

The RyanAir staff comment is a classic
From a flight attendant perspective, she thinks a ban would have one big plus: “The less of anything we serve, the more free time we have to just do nothing.”

I’m pretty sure the unruly passengers that were escorted off, will be footing the bill for the detour, which often amounts to a five figure Euro sum.
The matter is also brought before the courts by the airline in order to recover that money, and to ensure that the person is banned from flying for X amount of years.
That doesn’t stop a completely different clown from doing the same thing six hours or six years later, though.

I seem to remember that the two worst airports in terms of disruptions by unruly passengers are Tenerife Sur (Tenerife Norte is more domestic flights), and Alicante, with the vast majority of those specific passengers coming from the UK.
I think it’s a fun mix of really, really cheap flights and binge drinking (most of which isn’t happening on the plane itself - “food and drink are expensive on there”. Ryanair seems more interested in trying to sell you perfume and lottery tickets).

Perhaps no surprise when you are moving people from a cold town renowned for drinking problems to a warmer town renowned for serving alcohol.

Several things in play:
There’s a culture of a pre flight drink, or drinks, in British airports. Loki knows, you’re expected to turn up three hours before the flight and there’s naff all else to do in the terminal. This is seem as the only place where drinking at 6am is acceptable.
Ryan Air is quite The Worst airline I’ve ever flown on. You’re really crammed in, charged for everyone, made to feel like dirt. This does not mesh well with the pre flight driving.
I don’t know if this has ever been studied, but I wonder if the generally reduced cabin pressure on cruising airliners exacerbates the drink in the system.
It’s probably not drink served on the flight though.
