Couple fined for inflight sex

How do you pass the time as a passenger on a flight?

(CNN) -- Apparently, what happens on the way to Vegas, doesn't necessarily stay there.
A former vintner and a salon technician were each fined $250 for allegedly engaging in oral sex in front of other passengers on a commercial Allegiant Air flight from Medford, Oregon, to Las Vegas.
Christopher Martin, of Las Vegas, and Medford resident Jessica Stroble, each pleaded guilty in absentia in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas to a federal misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct on Thursday, reports Oregon's Mail Tribune.
The alleged act took place on June 21.
According to an FBI affidavit, passengers on the Allegiant Air flight saw Martin exposing his genitals and twice joining Stroble in oral sex and other acts despite warnings from flight attendants.
The affidavit states Martin and Stroble, 44 and 33 years old respectively at the time of the incident, were allegedly asked to stop by an attendant and did so during the drink and snack service, but later repeated the sex acts before landing.
One of the passengers complained to an attendant that "this is not the sex education I wanted to give my teenage sons," according to the criminal complaint.
The pair were arrested by Las Vegas police officers after the flight.
According to the complaint, they were initially charged with a federal misdemeanor crime of lewd, indecent and obscene acts on an airplane, which carried a maximum sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.
The Mail Tribune reports that U.S. magistrate judge George Foley Jr. ordered the fines after accepting pleas from attorneys representing Martin and Stroble, who weren't required to attend the hearing.
"I have made many mistakes in my life, none greater than this one," said Martin, former vintner of Oregon's highly regarded Troon Vineyard, in a written statement sent to the Mail Tribune.
"I have lost my job, my reputation and damaged the legacy I had worked 10 years to nurture and grow. I will learn from this and move on to the next chapter in my life."

Too bad no quotes from the teenage sons as
to their opinion of the educational value.

Most of us have to pay $$$ for such live entertainment,
especially in-flight.

Yes, because Vegas is such a wholesome place to bring your teenage sons.

Keeping this thread professionally based .... does your Company Operations Manual or Operational Directives collection address this sort of situation?

Do you feel you as a flight crew member should receive training in how to deal with these unusual situations which may now come gushing forward in "Copy Cat" style crimes?

Would you imagine that management should deal with these sort of things by using their ability to "wield a stiff sanction" as a deterrent to acts of moral turpitude which may happen in flight?

New revenue idea for airlines! Curtain off unused crew rest seats in back row and charge for mile high club access when not in use.
Sell 'accessories' (with advertising on them, naturally) from the trolley. Credit card only please.

See this revenue management stuff ain't so hard. Eat your heart out realitychex.

One question per post, there Billy. Next week we'll show a video in groundschool called "When good cuddles go bad at FL330". It should answer all of your questions about sex and airplanes.

You think they could have waited until they got into the Hotel elevator, like everyone else that goes to Vegas,baby

Not so funny if you're sitting in the same row as these clowns. Why couldn't they just go into the blue lagoon for a blumpkin?

Gross.

Scientific study has shown that in an airport environment, orange "safety" vests outperform standard prophylactic contraception devices by at least 5:1.

frozen solid,

Did it mention anything about amateur
phylactics in that study???

I know that pilots know how to get
it up, and they have hotter approaches
(they say) but somehow, I think they
are just a bunch of greasers...

Hence the question of phylatics.
