I can't C & P this, as it is from The Times which is behind a paywall.

On the flight in question, there had, by chance, been an earlier incident when a fire began in a different toilet which activated the smoke detectors. 2 of the aircraft's 4 hand-held fire extinguishers were used to quell the first fire, so they were down to 2 hand-held extinguishers now.

The pilot, a little concerned at the situation, came on the PA & warned passengers about the "moronic" (his actual word) practice of smoking on board a passenger aircraft, especially in the toilet, & especially now they were down to 2 extinguishers.  

So the guy, who was pissed as a fart, was clearly warned not to do it, but persisted.

In that context, whilst 10 years might seem harsh, I don't have an iota of sympathy with him.

As chance would have it, a fire prevention officer was on board as a PAX, & he helped deal with the problem.

Once again, excess alcohol (or inability to hold alcohol) is at the root of the problem.

Interesting. That does shed a different light on the matter somewhat.

However, why airlines allow people on board who are clearly pissed is beyond me.

I could not agree more.

Aircraft cabins are almost unique places - we sit there, effectively trapped in our seats for long periods, often 10 hours or more. Being trapped in my seat next to a piss artist is a thoroughly dreadful experience.

I'd ban all alcohol consumption at airports & on aircraft, but here, of course, the Airports & Airlines share some blame, as they seek to maximise revenues by selling the stuff.

Did you not fancy making a donation? Wink

Read something similar this morning. Steaming drunk and then goes and has a cig in the bogs, and doesn't even try to put it out properly. I wouldn't have liked to sit on that plane, having to endure an emergency landing, all because some twat thought he could light up in the toilet.

I'd like to say that when he gets out, I doubt he'll do anything like that again, but people are, you know, stupid.

Leave the alcohol alone though please, some of us can handle our booze on a plane Smiley
