Passenger Disrupts Family Flight
Of all the air rage stories that have made the news recently, this one may be my favorite.
Jacob Kline, a 44 year old resident of New Mexico, was on an American Airlines flight from DFW to Charlotte with his wife, daughter and son. During the flight, Mr. Kline ordered a number of rum and cokes and began constantly switching seats. He would move next to his son, and sometimes he would move near his wife and daughter and then sometimes he would just move to a different section of the plane. Then Mr. Kline reportedly began to disrupt the plane by cursing at which point the flight attendant refused his order for a fourth rum and coke.
According to court documents, at this point Mr. Kline began to throw ice cubes at passengers and then grabbed a flight attendent on the backside when the crew tried to get him to stop.
Police in Charlotte were notified and met Mr. Kline when the plane arrived at the destination.
While most kids often become embarrassed by their fathers on family trips, the Kline kids obviously have good reason.
