COMMUTER PLT COMPLAINT THAT HE WAS COERCED BY COMPANY SUPVR INTO BOARDING AN INTOXICATED PASSENGER.

Narrative

BEFORE BOARDING PAX ON MY FLT; THE TICKET AGENT CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME ONE OF THE PAX WAS ACTING AS IF INTOXICATED. AFTER VIEWING THE PAX'S ERRATIC BEHAVIOR AND PUBLIC DRINKING; I DETERMINED HE WAS INTOXICATED. I NOTIFIED THE DIRECTOR OF OPS THAT I WOULD NOT BOARD THIS PAX BECAUSE OF HIS INTOXICATED CONDITION. THE DIRECTOR OF OPS ASKED THE TICKET AGENT HER OPINION ABOUT THE PAX. THE AGENT SAID SHE WOULD NOT BOARD THIS PAX. THE DIRECTOR OF OPS TALKED TO THE PAX. AFTER TALKING TO PAX; THE DIRECTOR OF OPS TOLD ME TO BOARD THIS PAX. THIS WAS IN VIOLATION OF FAR 135.121(C) 91.3(R). DURING THE FLT THE PAX TRIED TO LEAVE HIS SEAT 3 TIMES. HE ALSO RIPPED A WINDOW CURTAIN AND HARASSED A FEMALE PAX. THE REASON I BOARDED THIS PAX WAS FOR FEAR OF LOSING MY PLTS POSITION. I THINK THIS GOES ON IN THE INDUSTRY QUITE OFTEN. MAKING MONEY FOR THE COMPANY SEEMS TO BE THEIR ONLY CONCERN; NOT SAFETY. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE; I WILL NEVER BOARD AN INTOXICATED PERSON; EVEN IF I LOSE MY JOB. I THINK THIS CAN BE PREVENTED BY ADHERING TO THE FAR'S AND REFUSING TO BE INTIMIDATED BY ONE'S EMPLOYER.
