Another case of airplane passenger behaving badly has emerged: this time, a man delayed a flight for two hours as he refused to turn off his phone and quit his jibber-jabber long enough for the plane to take off.
The man was eventually taken off the plane and escorted away by police.
The police received a call at around 20:00 on January 16, saying that there was trouble with a passenger on flight CZ3267 from Nantong to Guangzhou. The man had apparently continued to use his phone despite repeated requests from airline crew to turn it off.
He was sentenced to five days administrative detention on January 17. A recently-held National Civil Aviation Security Conference stressed that more serious punishments should be applied to passengers who break safety protocol on flights. This is a particularly hot topic at the moment as the terrible behavior of several Chinese passengers on flights hasgained international attention.

More people trying to open the emergency doors. Two more instances on Chinese flights. I'm happy I'm staying put this Spring Festival. Too here are far too crazy now. Changsha to Hohhot some lunatic tried to open the door in flight. There's going to a day when airlines and countries find Chinese people to be too much of a security risk.

Right? It makes me miss the days when they were just letting their kids take dumps in the aisles.

Smack the phone out of his hand and jump on it. If anything happened afterwards you could claim that you were protecting the lives of your fellow passengers.

I just don't understand why everyone put up with that bullshit for TWO HOURS.Even the airline staff apparently. Was everyone really so scared he might be some sort of official, or gangster or something who would have them beaten up or worse? Or are people just that used to being subservient and bowing down to bullies that this was just another day for them?

I think someone should have told him to turn it off. And when people try to open the emergency doors people should alert the staff immediately or knock the idiot or idiots out.

"拘留5日的处罚" Five days, not years. Big difference, especially for such a minor crime.

Yeap. Probably be 5 minutes (you still need to put on a bit of show for the public) if he had been calling Xi Jin Ping's friends or relatives. guanxi, guanxi, guanxi....

Why did it take them 2 HOURS before he was kicked off??? They should have called the police after 10-15 min!

Why didn't the other passengers take the law into their own hands? They all probably sat moaning about the delay but chose to do nothing about it.

I've always been told if I haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything. So I won't say anything.

Thats what i was thinking. I fly often in China. I have no problem telling people to shut it off. I usually say " Hey buddy, if you wanna kill yourself i dont mind, but if you try to kill me, i swear ill get you first. They are rules for a reason. Turn the damn thing off" Its worked everytime. One queation though, is it really dangerous??? This past year many foreign airlines stopped banning phones.
