Narrative

THE PAX THAT WAS REMOVED THREATENED THE WELL-BEING OF ANOTHER PAX. THE REMARK MADE WAS 'IF YOU TOUCH MY WIFE; I'LL CUT YOUR &*^%$#@ THROAT.' HE WAS THREATENING THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO HIS WIFE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE HUSBAND; WIFE AND 2 TEENAGE CHILDREN HAD GOT INTO A SHOUTING MATCH BTWN THEMSELVES IN THE BOARDING AREA; USING MANY PROFANE WORDS. THEY WERE STILL SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER WHEN THEY GOT ONBOARD. THEY SAT IN THE WINDOW EXIT ROW AND HAD TOO MANY OVERSIZED BAGS; WHICH WERE BLOCKING THE EXIT ROW FLOOR SPACE. ONE OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS TOLD THEM THAT THEY ALL HAD TO BE STOWED; WITH NOTHING STICKING OUT FROM UNDER THE SEATS. THE HUSBAND GOT VERY ANGRY ABOUT THIS; BUT THE FLT ATTENDANT DID FIND SPACE IN THE OVERHEAD BIN ABOVE HIS WIFE'S SEAT ACROSS THE AISLE. THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO THE WIFE SAID; 'DO AS THE FLT ATTENDANT SAYS; SO WE WON'T HAVE A DELAY.' THIS REALLY MADE THE MAN ANGRIER THAN EVER. IT WAS DURING THE TAXI OUT THAT THE HUSBAND THREATENED THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO HIS WIFE. THE FLT ATTENDANTS TOLD THE CAPT; SO THEY TURNED AROUND AND TAXIED BACK; WHERE THEY WERE MET BY CUSTOMER SVC SUPVRS AND SECURITY. ALL THE FAMILY GOT OFF; AND THEN THEY FOUGHT WITH SECURITY. THE DAUGHTER THREW HER WALLET IN THE FACE OF THE SECURITY GUARD; WHEN ASKED TO SHOW SOME IDENT. THE AIRLINE DENIED THEM FURTHER PASSAGE ON THE AIRLINE.
