This implies that the people who cause the trouble could not possibly be in the first class section... Before you flame me please consider this to be a thought that first came to mind and not necessarily an attack on any particular group.
I think it’s more about $$ than character of travelers. Also, front section is smaller, easier to manage than the teeming masses in back.
And people not crowded together perhaps somewhat less irritable.
It implies that the people in First Class paid 10 times that of coach and it would be highly unlikely they would disrupt the flight. Unlike the "people of wal-mart" paying $39 to fly in coach!
Great idea, of course the company needs to have the bars tone it down, or you will need to refuse boarding of impaired passengers.. very dangerous in an emergency to have to deal with a drunk..
Thank you, American. This should at least reduce some of the madness.
this will not prevent "crazies" from being beligerant on an airplane..if they can still purchase a drink or two in the gate lobby bar or restaurant,and can walk and talk,the alcohol will still be in their system..i cannot tell you the number of times i have smelled alcohol on on someone,yet they seemmed perfectly "normal"..i suppose aa feels this is the only thing they can do at present..
