Cabin crew didn't take proper care of the seated passengers by containing her BEFORE she could get physical with him. They had the opportunity. Other passengers could have stood up, too. She got right in his face; hopefully didn't give him Covid!

The laws concerning in-flight behavior by the public in the US are extremely strong, as they should be everywhere.

The male crewmember was wrong to try to use words to get the seated man to stop. The offender could have injured others while he wasted time.

Here's one way airlines can protect the public better:

Have a few more of the cabin crew positioned in the aisle so they can nip in the bud a situation like this.

The moment she spoke out of turn she should have been safely neutralized.

That means at a minimum grabbing her arms behind her back, and ideally getting her face down on the floor. Then you wrist-tie her and get her out the aisle. Cops have spittle masks to use: Cabin crew should too.

There must be ZERO tolerance.

And I really can't stress enough the need for a plastic face visor when in confined spaces with people who can't be trusted. Your mask protects you from spreading a disease you have. It doesn't protect you from being spat on.

We can't get "back to normal" while this goes on.

You're tired of the pandemic? Suck it up.

Unnecessary air travel is causing more harm than good. Everything should be focused on improving things like testing, vaccine access, proper PPE use, and educating the public.

Educate, educate, educate.
