Are you going to be posting all these articles about incidents on planes as seperate threads? 🎣

NoodleDoodleMan

Is there a dedicated single subject thread ?

TELLIT01

It's a pretty big story so I would have thought it worthy of its own thread.

NoodleDoodleMan

That was my mindset.

If admin think it's inappropriate, unnecessary or covered elsewhere in sufficient detail - then they can pull it.

There could be if you merge it with your other one...

Maybe call it the "Airplane Covid Panic Megathread', or something.  If you are starting these threads to put people off flying, in my case it isn't working 😘

Just spreading the word - public service announcement.

Had it been another Ryanair incident..............................

It's your choice to fly, or not, may your God go with you - and a liberal supply of face coverings !!!

The two incidents are not related, apart from being Covid related, and most forums recommend creating new threads for new issues.  Would it be expected that all questions about insurance for example would be put in a single thread?

Allegations by a passenger on the flight on lunchtime BBC News saying that mask wearing and correct mask wearing were not enforced on the TUI Zante to Cardiff flight yesterday.

"A flight from Zante which left nearly 200 people facing two weeks' self-isolation was a "debacle" and a "free-for-all", passengers say.

One traveller said the Tui flight was full of "covidiots" and "inept crew who couldn't care less". Another claimed there "wasn't much" policing of rules."

The person interviewed on BBC News said the person sat beside them had their mask tucked under their chin.  Ridiculous.

Hopefully this is a one off, but maybe the captain should announce prior to takeoff that if passengers refuse to obey the rules they will land at the first available airport and offload them.

But, according the the passenger, nobody asked them to obey the rules.
She also said, in the BBC  interview, that as soon as the plane landed many passengers removed   their masks immediately.
