The US is considering a 'no-fly' list for unruly passengers as incidents continue, but creating it could be a long and complicated process


(Business Insider) After a turbulent year of unruly passengers on hundreds of US flights, the US is considering creating a national "no-fly" list.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has been pressuring the Biden administration for months to create a federal "no-fly" list that would bar all airline passengers convicted of unruly behavior from flying commercially. In early February, Delta CEO Ed Bastian reemphasized his request in a letter sent to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

On Monday, he doubled down, telling Good Morning America that "actions have consequences."

"Any individual that's disruptive aboard an airplane, that gets in the way of customer and employee safety needs to be addressed at the highest possible level," he said.

2. I'm afraid enough of flying as it is, when everything goes smoothly.

Being in mid air when the pilots and crew are distracted by a nutcase--terrifying.

3. Once you start shit

4. You shouldn't be placed on a government list that prevents you from flying unless

there is some due process like conviction of a crime or at least a court order.

5. Why don't the airlines do this themselves?

Stores share lists of bad check passers, bad credit risks, known shoplifters, etc.

Why don't the airlines do the same?

It's their business. Why should we, the taxpayers, pay to enforce their rules?

6. They are looking to offload costs and legal liability to the government. n/t
