The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed fines against five passengers. The passengers have all allegedly engaged in some level of disobedience inflight. In total, the penalties against five passengers total nearly $65,000. The passenger seated in the economy class started to yell obscenities at the flight attendant and followed them to the Mint cabin, where they assaulted the flight attendant. The passenger allegedly hit the crewmember with her body, nearly pushing him into the lavatory. The aircraft diverted to Austin, where the passenger in the economy was offloaded. She faces a $15,000 fine.
