YOU DAMN RIGHT

[@joelr3023]

Thank you, Sam. I was on that flight-first row in Business. I thought I saw you. I was watching the incident but didn’t know what happened until I watched your video. After the incident, the flight manager/purser came to my seat to apologize. I told her no need to apologize, I’m just glad she and the crew dealt with the guy while the plane was on the ground. As you said, it would’ve been hell if this incident happened while we were flying. I’m glad your girlfriend was okay!

Must have been unsettling to have such a hostile passenger onboard! The police response was pretty big. Did his checked bag have to be removed from under the plane?

It were a real VIP flight with several ministers, dignitaries etc. It were a cool low by pass over the runway before coming in for landing.

Respect to your girlfriend and all flight attendants across the globe for doing a great job, especially those who are honest and committed to their work. It's a difficult job; flight attendants have to put up with abuse and assault. I'm glad this passenger's bad behaviour was quickly addressed and that he was taken away by the cops immediately.

After watching the video, I was truly moved. It’s admirable how Sam managed to stay emotionally composed while filming, even in such a distressing situation. Thankfully, Fiona is okay.

She's a 'keeper' Sam. The other recent high stress Cathay event was the aircraft that went U/S (CDG-bound from memory). Everything had to be sealed and transferred to a replacement. Hardly a common occurrence, but everyone handled the situation as if they had just done a simulation in training.

So glad Fiona is OK 🙏 So cool to see a female FO!! Love seeing more female talent in this profession ❤ Have to say I love the CX service on the recent flights I’ve been on. Economy is already a step above other European carriers, but in Business they address you by name and kneel down beside you to take your food orders as they serve you a drink whilst waiting for pushback to depart. With this in mind they know exactly who is in a premium cabin, and if you have status in premium economy you also get addressed by name as I witnessed recently. Small touches like this really helps to cement and reinforce CX is a wonderful airline with wonderful and talented people 🙏

The man punched a male crew member in the head for telling him not to smoke onboard. This incident then escalated and myself & a few other male passengers, along with crew helped to restrain the passenger using the hand restraints kept onboard. We were over half way to Thailand and the flight continued. On arrival in BKK the aircraft was met by Police & authorities and he was removed before others could disembark. I was asked to detail a written report as I had witnessed the assault. I later found out this male passenger never continued his journey BKK to FCO & spent time in custody.

[@TunnelJumper]

@@jehusaunders8482 Sam found out after the incident. He wouldn't have been in trouble if he'd been standing right there and restrained the passenger immediately as he would have been assisting in keeping the crew out of harm's way (let's not forget that we need every crew member healthy and in one piece as they are the ones fully trained in the safety and emergency procedures for the aircraft). If he'd jumped the guy in retribution after the fact, he would have been in deep, deep shit. That lack of self-control would be bad enough as a regular passenger but it would be far worse if he's flying on his partner's passes because she is entirely responsible for his conduct onboard. Not only would he be thrown off but SHE would also face discipline for what he did upon returning home. On a personal level, that would also say a LOT about one's character because let's face it, what's done is already done so you're not "stepping in and intervening" as you mentioned. You aren't actually "defending" your girlfriend at this point. The sad reality is that you're just mad that you weren't in the right place at the right time. You didn't get to be the hero. You feel as though your "manhood" has been taken away from you and the only way to get it back is by physically assaulting the person most responsible. This is not the way.

[@josephmaniscalco7830]

@@TunnelJumper I have to disagree, if you find out someone assaulted your girl especially on a closed confined space like a plane, you should go confront them, you can't just sit around and film the dude and do nothing. There's no guarantee he doesn't get up and assault her again. You should at the very minimum let him know that type of behavior doesn't fly (no pun intended) and there will be further consequences if he tries it again. Sam is a gentle, jovial, kind hearted person, which is commendable, however, sometimes as a man you have to be ready and willing to be aggressive and defend yourself and or your loved ones. I could be wrong but Sam doesn't seem like that type of guy and dare I say it, he's soft. The world is a dangerous place, and the reality is no one is coming to save you, you have to be your own first responder and be capable of violence and able to defend yourself and loved ones. I mean no disrespect to Sam, but he is soft and I hope he see this as a wake up call to start training and get himself fit enough to counter a threat if need be. The goal is always avoid confrontation, but sometimes the reality is you can't.

I’m so glad that you were with her on this flight. So she need not feel so alone facing the shock. My heart goes out to her. You got a gem there! ❤
