Frontier Airlines says it is now 'supporting' crew who restrained unruly passenger

Frontier Airlines now says it is "supporting" its crew who restrained an unruly passenger with duct tape after groping two female flight attendants' chests and punching one male flight attendant in the face.

"Frontier Airlines maintains the utmost value, respect, concern and support for all of our flight attendants, including those who were assaulted on this flight," the company said in a statement Tuesday.

"We are supporting the needs of these team members and are working with law enforcement to fully support the prosecution of the passenger involved," the company added. "The inflight crew members' current paid leave status is in line with an event of this nature pending an investigation."

The statement comes after the company faced backlash for initially saying the crew would be "relieved of flying pending completion of investigation of the events."

"Management suspended the crew as a knee-jerk reaction to a short video clip that did not show the full incident. Management should be supporting the crew at this time not suspending them. We will be fighting this with every contractual and legal tool available, but we would hope there will be no need for that as management comes to their senses and supports the people on the frontline charged with keeping all passengers safe," Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, said in a statement Tuesday.

The incident occurred on July 31 during a flight from Philadelphia to Miami.

Maxwell Berry drank two alcoholic drinks before assaulting the flight attendants and yelling on the airplane, the police report states.

Berry was then duct-taped to a seat on the plane and arrested when the flight landed. He was charged with three counts of battery.

Good...

I'm guessing duct tape is going to be standard equipment on flights soon
 
Pretty sure flight crews have the authority to subdue disruptive passengers...

By any means necessary, under any and all circumstances? I don't know, TBH. I'm not exactly rooting for the guy, but I don't think it's lawful for them to just wrap him up with duct tape.
 
Thats hilarious, good on them. Maybe its time to stop serving alcohol on flights

I think it already is a month ago, after that lunatic tried to open the plane's door midflight and bit the American Airlines flight attendant who tried to stop her.

The only difference here is the Frontier crew taped the drunkard's mouth since he wouldn't stop screaming at other people, where as the other woman was actively biting people. I'm pretty sure he's gonna claim that it's a choking/suffocating hazard or some shit.

Yeah but his parents are worth 2 million dollars.
What a weird flex, like 2 million moves the meter anymore.
Also play stupid drunken boob grabbing games win stupid duct tape prizes.

Haha right?

You mean they got a nice state job and have a pension to add to their net worth?

whoopdie do
 
Flight attendants need heavy duty zip ties, unless airplanes would be more unsafe with those on board at all should one of these unruly passengers get ahold of them off a flight attendant

Umm NO, some of us can handle our alcohol.

Back in the day when you paid cash for drinks, the trick was to bring a $100 dollar bill on your flight, and order a drink. If it was an early flight, they definitely could never get change for it, so you got a free drink. Vegas trips, they could usually make change for that $100. 6 am flights to DC from Orlando, that bloody mary was always free.
 
- it's like a two hour flight. Surely, you can go two hours without having a drink.

- whatever happened to air marshals?
 
Soon planes will have sheriffs and jails. It will be great.
 
Sadly, I think he might have a case for a pretty nice lawsuit. I don't think they're allowed to just duct tape people to their seat.

Not sure what he would sue for. Not injured seriously. Not unlawfully confined. Nothing cruel and unusual. His new found fame is not a result of the airline either. I could see it being a safety issue for him if there was some kind of issue and they needed to evacuate. But not nearly as big of an issue as the one he was causing.

I don't think a jury would look at that asshattery and say, 'Yeah lets give that kid some cash'. I mean his parents are already worth $2 Million.
 
The drinking age should be like 35.
Perfect logic, use outliers that are not the norm to ban something most people handle perfectly.

Also guy got what he deserved, i have been on an airplane from asia to norway when a guy started acting up 30 minutes after take off.
Wish the crew back then had the balls to tape that fucker to his seat and gag him, the trip was a nightmare.
 
By any means necessary, under any and all circumstances? I don't know, TBH. I'm not exactly rooting for the guy, but I don't think it's lawful for them to just wrap him up with duct tape.

Yes if he is a danger to the crew and other passengers.

Too bad someone didn't ko the little ass hole.

I don't know about that.

Nothing cruel and unusual.

Again, not sure about that.

I could see it being a safety issue for him if there was some kind of issue and they needed to evacuate. But not nearly as big of an issue as the one he was causing.

But they don't make those rules up on a case by case basis, and only when it's convenient. You can either do it, or you can't. I don't know TBH, but wrapping someone up like a mummy in duct tape, doesn't seem like it would be standard or lawful protocol to deal with an unruly passenger.
