News and notes from around the interweb:

Gary as a healthcare working it’s a Felony to strike me or fellow co-workers, I wish the same thing would happen for the FA’s. How about following one of these incidents and report back what happens to the passenger, I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks these people need to be banded from flying, but I have a feeling that isn’t happening….
