Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) There was an outrageous delay (7 hrs?) for one flight yesterday. Anyone is well within their rights to feel extremely frustrated and voice their frustration. Doing so and using a well known ‘alarm’ phrase is idiotic - that said, this is clearly one of those sanctimonious ‘take the outraged moral high ground responses’... it’s obvious he was just very upset & rightly so. Situations like this can be handled with far greater common sense by both sides. Edited November 17, 2020 by richard_smith237 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post riverhigh Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2020 An extract from the original article: Ms Jitphisut said that after she checked and returned Mr Wilms’ boarding pass, he allegedly told her in Thai, “Honestly, this airline plane should be bombed.” Shocked, Ms Jitphisut told Ms Wanlapha to inform the Vietjet airline office chief, airport security and airport police of Mr Wilm’s comment. In the official police report, Saku Police Chief Lt Col Kaken noted that Mr Wilms had admitted he made the remark. He said that said so in anger due to the flight delay. The police report accepted the time that the airline staff said the boarding passes were being checked, indicating that the delay was not substantial. Lt Col Kaken confirmed that Mr Wilms has been changed under Section 22 of the Act on Certain Offences Against Air Navigation, which stipulates: “Any person notifying messages or sending information known to be false, and such act causes or is likely to cause persons in the airport or persons on board an aircraft in flight to be in panic, shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding B200,000, or both.” “If such an act endangers the safety of an aircraft in flight, such person shall be liable to imprisonment of five to 15 years or a fine of B200,000 to B600,000, or both.” ************************************************* Most probably if he was a nicely dressed hi-so Thai this would be a much "ado-about-nothing". But unfortunately this was not the case. It appears to be a case of a brash young falang wearing a singlet vest with no concern about his fellow passengers regarding body odor. Telling the clerk in language that is not your own that the airoplane should be bombed is not a good idea. Thai with a strong German accent may have sounded more threatening than intended. Not a good time to practice your Thai (smile). This should be a learning experience for the young man but I doubt it. In his own mind I would wager that he beleives he can wear and say whatever he wants, and that his rights were violated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
