Delta Air Lines calls for carriers to share names of unruly passengers:

Delta Air Lines is calling for an industry-wide effort to keep passengers from boarding competitors' flights after being banned for disruptive behavior.

So far this year, Delta says it has submitted the names of more than 600 banned passengers to the Federal Aviation Administration, which has sought to enforce rules against interfering with flight crews. The industry has seen a surge in poor behavior and banned passengers in recent months, with the bulk of incidents related to face mask requirements.

"We've also asked other airlines to share their 'no fly' list to further protect airline employees across the industry," Delta said in a memo this week. "A list of banned customers doesn't work as well if that customer can fly with another airline."

The company did not say whether sharing of passenger lists should be through the federal government or among companies themselves, and declined to elaborate. Delta said it has more than 1,600 people on its internal no-fly list and did not clarify why it submitted fewer than that to the FAA.

[...] The FAA was noncommittal about the idea Friday, saying in a statement the agency "is meeting with airports, airlines, unions, and others to discuss what additional steps the FAA and our industry partners can collectively take to continue driving down the number of unruly passenger incidents."

The agency said its latest data shows a decline in the rate of unruly passenger incidents. It said that as of last week, incidents involving unruly passengers occurred about six times in every 10,000 flights.

"That's an approximately 50 percent drop from early 2021, but it's more than twice as high as the end of 2020," the agency said Thursday.

    I guess you just don't get it. All those passengers wanted was a nice, peaceful flight to wherever they were going. Then, some busybody got up in their faces, whining about a stupid mask. So put those whiners on Greyhound. Are you truly incapable of seeing the problem from more than one side?

    By "busybody", you mean passenger or crew? With the crew, there is only one side. You want to get on a plane, like it or not, you do what they tell you to do. Mask on, tray up! bitch! I mean that in the nicest possible way, don't take it personal. Of course it's always best to have your camera running in case you need to file a grievance, just like with the cops or having a dash cam.

    Passengers and crew just wanted to have a routine flight with as minimal risk as possible. And, some anti-masker moron got up in their faces assaulting them with potentially infected spittle.

    You have a right to swing your arm, but that right ends several inches away from other peoples' faces. Same thing with mask wearing in enclosed spaces. By refusing to wear a mask which is *proven* to lower the transmission of covid, you are doing the equivalent of punching people in the face while whining about your right to swing your arm.

    In the last 28 days, the US has been cleansed of over 50,000 of you selfish entitled anti-mask/anti-vax morons, which is-- just pathetic, as most of those deaths were preventable. Also, pathetic, the four million new cases in the US over that same 28 day period mainly because of anti-vax and anti-mask morons.
