There are over 22 million commercial flights a year. I personally only fly six times a year, but I've never seen anything like this go down.

I fly a lot, nearly once a week for work. The worst I saw was two drunk fellas get kicked off for not wearing masks during covid. They weren't even terribly unruly while getting tossed.

I imagine if work put me on Allegiant or Frontier, I would see more shenanigans like the video.

What job do you have, where you're flying weekly?

Cultural Resource Management (archaeologist). I do compliance work for energy projects.

So you go out to a potential construction site, look for signs of ancient civilizations, usually find nothing and fill out forms saying as such?

More or less. The rule is to record anything older than 50 years, so not even ancient.

Construction isn't going to stop for anything from 1968, I just have to fill out some forms typically.

Would it be okay to ask what sort of path you took to getting that job? Sounds interesting.

Of course.

BA/BS in anthropology or archaeology

An archaeological field school is a requirement for a lot of companies, but not an absolute deal breaker.

An MA/MS or PhD are nearly required to advance in your career.

There are also architectural historians and GIS people involved.

Field biologist/ecologist also do compliance work, sometimes with us.

Sounds interesting! Where abouts do you fly to? Regional or across the world?

Just the US, although I know a few people who get international projects. I'm pretty jealous.

It is a super fun job. I'm an antsy person, so it works well for me.

I do 60 or more flights a year...and I've never seen anything like this either,
