This was nothing more than a power play

Dear Editor,

That steward and passenger spat over a remark, was not enough for the aircraft to turn around.  If the passenger was ‘disruptive’ then he should have been removed from the aircraft before the flight took off.

From reports there was nothing to discern which placed the aircraft or its passengers at safety or security risks.  The authorities thought so too as they released the passenger.  This was nothing more than a power play.  

Furore over a name and the airline overreacting.

But isn’t that what they are….glorified waiters and waitresses in the sky?

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
