Hefty fines for unruly behaviour in the skies keeps on coming. One maskless passenger is learning an expensive lesson that it is not a good idea to blow your nose into a blanket. The FAA is seeking a $10,500 fine against the passenger who ignored instructions to wear a mask and also coughed into the blanket.
Another man on a different JetBlue flight ‘yelled, slammed overhead bins, and shouted profanities at the cabin crew,’ the FAA said. He will be fined $9,000.
The federal agency has a zero-tolerance policy against disruptive behavior which most commonly stems from passengers’ refusal to wear a mask, This often leads to a flight ban but occasionally the situation escalates into verbal or a physical altercation.
