Reports of unruly passengers on US airlines this year have taken off, spiking by 500 percent thanks largely to passengers who refused to wear masks on flights during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Will this debate and name calling never end? I console myself sometimes that I served 22 years in the USN so we could have robust discussions like this!
Freedom, once lost, is gone forever. This is the slippery slope of tyranny.
The National Guard Unit of C-5A's landing in Newburgh,NY went right over my apartment and I could hear the distinctive whining down of the engines, and run outside every time to look at the plane.....I'm your wing man Russ Brown on your post! (heard they changed engine type and that sound is gone) :(
Thank you Dolores:
Wow! C-5As. I live at the west end of the Dulles east west runway. Used to have a FEDEX DC-10 on a regular basis, not anymore. Miss the 747s too, had a 380 about a week ago. The Luftwaffe used to have-C130s on a regular basis, that too is no more. Grew up with B-29s, Strato Cruisers, B-47s,52s,
707, 727, 737 just over the hill from Boeing field and plant #1. Saw Tex Johnson roll the 707 over Lake Washington from a boat out on the Lake. My Bride grew up in the traffic pattern for McCord air base. My neighbors complain about the Noise from Dulles. Music to my ears.

I love airplanes and admire all the people that make them go. I can't help running outside when a triple 7, 747. 380,340, or that NOISY Russian goes over my house at about a 1000 feet. Let's talk about airplanes. Sigh.
Most live in a pressure-cooker these days, and just the process of getting on the plane can be needlessly stressful. Just think of all the little things that add-up by the time you get on the plane, and then having to deal with un-civil people, either general public, or airline employee is enough to trigger these events. Add alcohol, caffeine, a combination or other drugs to the mix and there you go.
The problems are societal.
