Air New Zealand is seeing a rise in the number of abusive passengers, with nearly 200 reports a month of unacceptable behaviour.

The airline said the unruly behaviour was becoming more extreme.

Chief operational integrity and safety officer Captain David Morgan said the severity and impact of the incidents had increased over time and there had been recent cases where people had been assaulted.

Just ban the fuckers from flying again. That will teach them.

Captain Morgan said the company had "zero tolerance" for such behaviour and the culprits would be banned from travelling on Air New Zealand planes.

Correct.
But he used the word "culprits", when he should have said "Fuckers".

I wanted to write something witty/dumb about Captain Morgan (edit: because of the rum) but couldn't think of anything.

I'm sure his mates have heaps of things they say to him.

I actually have some sympathy for the guy there, he could probably recite the safety briefing in his sleep.
