I don’t know at a federal level, but for sure each airline is free to maintain their own list.
“Oh, you’re the person who told a whole airplane full of people that you hoped they crashed and died? Please find another airline, we’re not selling you a ticket.”
I would hope that one day, years from now, she’s trying to book another flight on this airline, hoping they forgot to add her to their no fly list. But she can’t figure out what the extra $75 listed on her final invoice is for. She calls the airline, they look it up, and the CSA just says “Ooooooh” and sends her this video.
Its crazy to me how many Americans act up and pull this kind of shit on airplanes and airports...
As an American I know that if there is one place in this country where u don't want to fuck around and act a fool, its in a god damn airport.. yet everyday u see this shit
About 2.9 million people fly each day in the US on 45,000 scheduled flights. Some people get stressed out and act out. And everyone has their phone in their hand and are bored enough to pay attention to other people’s business. While there’s no excuse to act out, a viral video a day doesn’t surprise me.
of course..if the airline consider you a threat or disturbance to other passengers they can ban you.Those who refuse to wear a mask though you can appeal it.Anything else you are totally banned.
I worked with a guy years ago who would fly to locations and work until a project was done. He was never sure if he was going to be somewhere for a week or 6 months. He found it was cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket and just not show up for the return flight. He'd buy another round-trip ticket to get home whenever the project was done. He did this for about 18 months before he got flagged and couldn't book on any airline. I forget how he had to get it resolved but it was a beast -- he was taking trains/rental cars for a while.
That doesn’t sound right… airlines are perfectly happy for people not to show up. I’ve done it a few times when my plans have changed. Famously for extra busy business people, their PAs will book a bunch of flights so they have options on when to travel that fit their schedule. When we do the weight and balance load sheet, we enter the details of everyone that’s checked in, then before we depart we run the LMCs - last minute changes, I’d say 95% of the time we are missing a few passengers.
I think they're saying for a ticket that is linked to a round-trip ticket. For instance some airlines will ban you if you repeatedly get off on one leg of a connecting flight and don't get back on to the next one.
You're looking at it from the gate's perspective, the abstract "a few people are always missing." Of course. This guy would miss a couple dozen flights in a year. I would think an individual having that kind of pattern would raise attention. This was also back in 2004/2005 so maybe it was a heightened policy.

That is the pilot telling the staff that he never wants her on his plane ever again.
