Comedy or Drama?

[Steve M]

This happened several days back still worth reading. The farther into it I read, the more I started to laugh. Anyone here ever get that drunk?

I don't find it amusing.

"At one point a flight attendant walked by me and rolled her eyes and said, 'Have you been hearing these guys?' I asked her what was going on and she said they were just drunk and rowdy, so I said, 'Maybe you should stop serving them?' and she told me they hadn't served them anything. They were just already lit."

This sort of thing is getting boring. I blame Air Canada. If they were already drunk they shouldn't have let them board the plane.

I agree with Doug, these imbeciles should never have been allowed on the plane. What a pair of brain-donors

The fact that this was real is not funny. If someone had written this into a comedy sketch it would get an audience. The blame could go to Air Canada, but it should really go to the bartend in the airport lounge and most of all to the two nimrods that couldn't control themselves.

There's no accounting for taste.

In the end it's up the airlines to decide who to allow on their aircraft. From the stewardess's comment it's nothing unusual to have drunken, rowdy passengers on flights. If they don't take a stand & prevent these drunken louts boarding it could end in tragedy.

The stewardess's comment is new news to me. I've flown Air Canada a dozen times and never saw anything that bad. Bartenders in most provinces here are held legally liable for getting patrons drunk beyond dignity.

It is a bad situation for the bar tender (as usually they're to blame for it). It's their job to get people a drink and provide them the substance to become drunk, but you're not usually allowed to give a drunk person a drink. The borderline for that is incredibly subjective... I have only ever had to enforce that once in the past year because the person became abusive and unwell... It isn't always obvious when someone is drunk and how they respond to alcohol.
