A B757 FLT ATTENDANT DESCRIBED THE ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR OF 2 TEENAGE GIRLS WHICH REQUIRED THE POLICE TO MEET THE FLT IN LAX.

Narrative

FULL FLT; SHORT 2 FLT ATTENDANTS. NARROW BODY; TRANSCONTINENTAL FLT. 2 FLT ATTENDANTS WERE VERY BUSY WITH THEIR MEAL SVC FOR 152 OR SO PAX IN COACH. 2 TEENAGE GIRLS (ACCORDING TO SURROUNDING WITNESSES) LOUD; FOUL-MOUTHED; VULGAR; SEXUAL INNUENDO; HOSTILE; RUDE AND INTIMIDATING WHEN ASKED TO PLEASE STOP. KICKED BACK OF SEAT; THREW FOOD AND SPIT BALLS. MOST DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDEST DISPLAY EVER WITNESSED BY PARENTS OF TEENAGE GIRLS. REDUCED PAX TO TEARS. THEY BEGAN HITTING EACH OTHER AND CREW MEMBERS WERE CALLED TO SEPARATE THEM. VERBALLY ASSAULTED PAX NEARBY AND CREW MEMBERS. COMPANY OPS WERE CALLED BY PLTS; WHO FOUND LCL POLICEMAN AND TRAINEES WHO WERE NOT BUSY; TO MEET THE FLT AND ESCORT THE GIRLS TO BAGGAGE CLAIM TO MEET THE PARENTS TO LET THEM KNOW THEIR DAUGHTER'S BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE WERE WORKING WITH FAA MINIMUM CREW OF 4 FLT ATTENDANTS. BUT FOR THE LENGTH OF FLT AND LEVEL OF SVC MY COMPANY ASSIGNS 6 FLT ATTENDANTS. PAX TRIED TO HANDLE THE SIT; BUT IT GOT OUT OF HAND BY THE SHEER DISRESPECT AND RUDENESS OF THE 2 VERY IMMATURE GIRLS. IF THE 2 FLT ATTENDANTS WEREN'T SO BUSY WITH THEIR FOOD/BEVERAGE SVC THEY WOULD HAVE STEPPED IN MUCH EARLIER BEFORE SURROUNDING PAX WERE ALL VERBALLY ASSAULTED AND COVERED WITH SPIT BALLS. SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE FORWARD PORTION OF COACH; A FIRST CLASS FLT ATTENDANT WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THE CONTINUING INCIDENT. WHEN THE GIRLS FOUGHT WITH EACH OTHER; THE FLT ATTENDANT SEPARATED THEM. THE GIRLS STARTED THE VERBAL ABUSE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FLT AND FLT ATTENDANTS WERE NOT NOTIFIED UNTIL THE LAST 1/3 OF THE FLT. ONCE SEPARATED; ALL WAS QUIET. HAVING THE POLICE MEET THE FLT WAS PERFECT TO ENFORCE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THEIR ACTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THE PARENTS WERE AWARE OF THEIR CHILDREN'S UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
