Agreed. Why is it taking so long for the airlines to do something so obvious and effective. Who are they afraid of upsetting?

Probably the lack of will to do it is the major stumbling block. Technically I fail to see the problem, especially when you consider the staggering volume of absolute rubbish transmitted and stored over radio/TV/internet etc every second.

Wouldn't the loss of the tail assembly result in a tumbling descent? The video suggests a fairly stable near-vertical dive.

I can understand aircraft being registered in these countries - same way ships can be registered in foreign countries, but surely little island nations have no ability to issue Certificates of Airworthiness?

Arrest, mental evaluation, prosecution, fine, prison, no-fly list for life. Voila!

Surely the list(s) already exist; they just haven't been made public yet. Why? Maybe because the airlines fear the consequential law suits could cost them more than the disruptions and cancelled flights. Would a Federal no-fly list avoid the law suits? Whatever it takes, these disruptive nutcases must be banned from flying for years if not for ever.

I do not understand why this has not already been done. Do the unruly pax have their own lobyists?

That's the answer. Can't understand why all airlines have not already done this.

If you disrupt one of OUR flights, you will be banned from every other airline's (domestic?) flights. Not hearing much about this these days.

Same badly-informed propaganda from the anti-vax tinfoil-hat brigade I see. Don't take painless free vaccinations that reduce transmissability, hospitilization and death because it is a violation of . . . . . (enter your own phobia here). I am fully vaccinated and have a good chance of enjoying the rest of my life in good health. Can you say the same?
