I agree.

And take their passports away from them.

They’ll definitely at least get a large bill.

Agree with the comments but a serious question- what can a fighter escort do?

Apart from a 9/11 catastrophe where they could shoot down a plane headed for a tower for instance I do not understand the benefit to the unfortunate passengers.

Agreed! can you imagine the bill for a fighter escort?! I am amused at the thought of that monthly deduction to their earnings from now until they retire.

Yeah it’s all the same now. Disruptive passengers, bomb scare, radio problems, pilots fall asleep and don’t answer the radio etc send out the fighters.

Good practice for the RAF.

Not to mention what Michael Ryan will doubtless be demanding! There's the cost of getting the passengers to their original destination but also the knock on of all the other flights displaced by the absent aircraft.

I always assumed they’d have to fly a minimum of a certain number of hours per month and that things like this would just mean fewer training hours required in that particular month.

Lifetime flight ban......its the only way these muppets learn.

Action-----consequences

They’ve a maximum allowance of flying hours per month.

[Dog Star]

If they’re paying for it I would imagine the real cost would be around about what I suspect they’d earn in a lifetime.
