Were they on company business and the tickets paid for by RIM, or were these two idiots on personal time? If the later, then their jobs should not be in jeopardy.

The skipper did these two clowns a favour diverting to Vancouver. Getting arrested in Beijing would be a lot worse and a LOT more expensive.

Nortel used to and there were great stories about various executives behaviors on those flights and their admin's ;) However the best was some sales lady who did some kind of strip tease and a bit more on her way back from the UK on an AC 777.

Cruise ships have the ability to isolate people to their rooms, and some have a brig. Do airplanes?
