If you lose patience on a flight, it will damage your wallet.
A passenger who allegedly hit a Delta flight attendant in the face in October on a flight from Miami to Atlanta is being hit with a proposed $ 27,500 fine.
Federal Aviation Administration officials announced the penalty on Friday, ABC News reported.
The unidentified passenger on the Delta flight on October 19 was traveling and sitting next to another passenger who refused to wear his mask, hold his tray or fasten his seat belt, the FAA said.
The pilots then returned the flight to the gate and the flight attendants asked the two passengers to leave the plane.
“In response, the passenger accompanying the non-compliant traveler ignored the flight attendant’s instructions, started shouting profanity at the flight attendant and other passengers and hit the flight attendant under his left eye,” said the FAA.
The FAA said last month that it would crack down on unruly passengers without warning. They said the fines could reach $ 35,000 and passengers could be arrested.
