NEWWS FLASH
easyJet was forced to cancel its flight from Ljubljana to London Gatwick on Wednesday due to an abusive passenger on board. According to reports, a Slovenian woman became violent after an elderly passenger asked her to take out her earphones and put her phone into flight mode as the aircraft was taxiing towards the runway. According to eyewitness accounts the irate passenger then became verbally and physically abusive, forcing the cabin crew to intervene. The passenger than reportedly dug her nails into a female crew member and bit her. Five passengers assisted other crew members in restraining the problematic passenger. The attacked crew member was unable to continue work and reports suggest they had already dealt with another problematic passenger on the outbound service to Ljubljana. The flight was rescheduled and departed yesterday with 183 passengers. Local police have fined the abusive passenger with 250 euros and have launched misdemeanour proceedings against her.

ReplyDeleteWhat a joke, make her pay for everything Easyjet had to pay - aircraft, hotels, additional crew, EVERYTHING
250 euro for two criminal offence - endangering flight safety and physical body damage? Both combined deserve PRISON, unconditional. Like this, she will do it again, some other company, some other person
DeleteSome people should not comment on legal topics.
Delete@ 11:26 My thoughts exactly!
DeleteI think you guys are mixing up criminal proceedings and civil liability. It's crucial to differentiate between these two legal concepts, as they serve distinct purposes in the justice system.
Criminal proceedings involve the enforcement of laws by the state against individuals accused of committing crimes. The objective is to determine guilt or innocence and, if found guilty, impose penalties such as imprisonment, fines, or probation. And that's what the police have initiated and the prosecution might continue (the article implies that they indeed shall).
On the other hand, civil liability pertains to disputes between individuals or entities seeking legal remedies for harm suffered. The primary aim is to compensate the injured party through financial restitution or other appropriate remedies. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff, who must demonstrate the defendant's liability by a preponderance of evidence - which is a lower threshold than in criminal cases. So EasyJet must sue in a civil case to receive compensation for the cancelled flight.
Well, average person does not understand that… sadly
DeleteIf person suffers physical injuries, and bite wound is physical injury (laka tjelesna ozljeda/telesna povreda), that is criminal offence, and is not subject to civil procedure (parnica), but treated as "krivicno/kazneno djelo". If public prosecutor decide not to sue for criminal activity, private prosecutor (damaged party) can continue with criminal prosecution. In addition to that, it was an ATTACK on Officer on duty in charge of cabin safety, and as such is another Criminal act (napad na sluzbenu osobu/lice). So, maybe after all one and only Anonymous here should finally stop trying to spit on everything I say.
DeleteMaybe you should stick to your county and leave our alone… we are doing just fine, thanks
DeleteWhat the hell anything I wrote has to do with my or your country? Physical injury is criminal offence everywhere. I wasn't talking about countries, I talked about the people and their acts. Is it so difficult to understand? Or you are so chauvinist that only geography of my nick triggers you?
DeleteShe pulled out a Karen move
ReplyDeleteAfter Karen Senior asked her to put the phone in flight mode. Like come on!!! What's that either?
Delete@ 11:02
DeleteThat's actually a good point!
I'm sorry, Karen or not, you should put your phone in flight mode for everyone's safety. There's a difference here, and it's not subtle
DeleteWell it’s for the crew to enforce such rules not other passengers.
DeleteWell obviously the crew tried to enforce the rule when bitten
DeleteIsn’t 183 passengers too much for an A320? Or how many seats does Easyjet A320 have?
ReplyDeleteTheir A320s have 186 seats.
DeleteOh okay thanks.
DeleteIs this a NEO thing? Because the "old" A320s had 180 seats if I recall correctly. 186 feels like they are pushing it a bit too far. I had trouble sitting even on the 180 configuration and I'm not that extremely tall (183cm).
DeleteAs I remember I flew with A320 on a 186 seat configuration but it wasn’t NEO. And I think it was a normal legroom for a LCC
DeleteWizzair has 180 seats on their A320s so the above is a lot. According to SeatGuru EZY uses the 180 seat config. on most A320s, though a few fly with the denser, 186 config.
DeleteMost A320 operated by easyJet have 186 seats. Some are so called "RF - retro fit" others have been delivered in that configuration. Leg room for PAX is identical. What changed is the galley layout. They moved the rear lavatories into the galley and made room for one more room. Some A320 remain in the 180 configuration because they are not owned by easyJet.
DeleteAll of Wizz Air's neos have 186 seats, and many of the newer ceos, due to them being fitted with the cabin flex option, i.e. a half-galley and both toilets at the back (in the tail bulkhead section), just like on the 321 neo. The crew hate it, as the seat is on the toilet door. Google Airbus Cabin Flex A320.

DeleteGood LF for the flight
ReplyDeleteThat's what's most important
DeleteAny article in the UK media? I can't find a single one.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteAlways love a bit of girl on girl
ReplyDeleteHehe, the old man couldn't have imagined that he wasn't going to fly that day because of his unnecessary remark. :)
