Drunken passenger told Flybe cabin crew he wished there was a bomb on board
Tuesday 7th February 2012, 12:00PM GMT.
A DRUNKEN airline passenger who had to be removed from a Flybe flight to London on Friday morning just before take-off was fined £800 in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Edward Jones, 59, of 36a, Upcerne Road, Chelsea, London, admitted using threatening behaviour towards cabin crew Rachael Hartley.
Advocate Clare Tee told the court that her client had been drinking that morning after taking prescription medication.
She said he had asked her to apologise to all those affected by his behaviour, which she described as being completely out of character.
Imposing a fine, Judge Philip Robey said it was ‘truly appalling behaviour’ and that there was no excuse for it.

Perhaps so next time a Flybe plane is over London they’ll know where to jettison their toilet waste!

Perhaps he was just trying to stop the exodus

I blame the finance sector for all this. Big bonus’s to much champagne. All goes to the head. Wouldn’t of happened on Aurigny!

The Captain should have dropped to 10,000ft where it’s safe to breathe and then instructed the cabin crew to open the doors to throw this old idiot out of the aircraft. I wonder if FlyBe are going to ban him from flying with them again.
