Woman who knocked out flight attendant's teeth pleads guilty
Vyvianna M. Quinonez (28) pleaded guilty to a felony charge of interfering with a flight crew member on a Southwest flight from Sacramento to San Diego on May 23rd. San Diego's KGTV reports that prosecutors will recommend a sentence of four months in federal prison and six months in home confinement. (boingboing.net) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
this was an unmitigated criminal assault resulting in injury and loss of teeth, loss of work and pay, and a menace to aviation safety. Why such an insignificant sentence? THis does not send any message of penalty fitting the crime. A lifetime ban on airline travel is not excessive. Less than a year out of circulation is a travesty.
Could you be more 'right'; I don't think so.
She should be strapped to the underside of a wing as part of the sentence.

Only a 3 year ban from flying. That feels low. She needs to count her blessings if she’s ever allowed back on an aircraft.
She won’t be flying on Southwest again, however. They took the sensible step of banning her for life shortly after the assault occurred.
Spirit, eh?
Should be forever on anyone who assults anu flight crew. People need to pay for there actions some way other than just a slap on the wrist. How about those who try to bring firearms on and not declare them? Same shoud go for them.
Where does it say anything about a 3 year ban?
