Narrative

MR X; SEAT XH; WAS CAUGHT SMOKING IN THE BUSINESS CLASS LAVATORY. HE APPEARED INTOXICATED AND WAS REFUSED FURTHER ALCOHOL. HE WAS CAUGHT TAKING ALCOHOL FROM FIRST CLASS. HE DISRUPTED SVC. HE WOULD NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIVES FROM THE FLT ATTENDANTS. HE WOULD NOT STAY IN HIS SEAT WHEN THE FASTEN SEAT BELT SIGN WAS ON. HE WOULD NOT SHOW AN IDENT WHEN REQUESTED TO DO SO. I REQUESTED AN OFFICER TO MEET PLANE WITH CSR (CUSTOMER SVC REPRESENTATIVE) TO ASSIST IN OBTAINING HIS IDENT. MR X NEVER SHOWED REMORSE FOR SMOKING; AND I BELIEVE HE WILL DO IT AGAIN AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THAT THE MAN EXTINGUISHED HIS CIGARETTE IN WATER AND THEN THREW IT INTO THE TRASH CONTAINER. THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT FOUND IT. THE MAN HAD BEEN DRINKING WHEN HE BOARDED; BUT HE WASN'T DRUNK. WHEN CONFRONTED BY THE FLT ATTENDANT ABOUT THE SMOKING; HE SAID IT WAS NO BIG DEAL; THAT HIS SISTER WAS A FLT ATTENDANT AND HE KNEW THAT IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL. HE WAS A PAX IN FIRST CLASS AND THOUGHT THAT AFTER THE CREW CUT HIS DRINKING OFF; HE WAS ENTITLED TO THE LIQUOR THAT HE WAS CAUGHT STEALING. THE POLICE DID MEET THE FLT; BUT THE CABIN CREW DIDN'T WANT TO PRESS CHARGES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PHYSICALLY TOUCH OR HARM ANYONE. THE CAPT THOUGHT THAT CHARGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN FILED.
