Re: Passenger threatens pilot during flight to Yellowknife

I was flying pc12 a few years back in NWO, the captain I was with handled on board drinking better than I have ever seen before. After we had landed he found a nearly empty bottle of gin in a seat pocket. The guy that was sitting there was saying 'hi' to the local constable and walked up to him and said "I think this is yours, you must have forgotten it". The guy denied it the the Skipper said " oh yes I am sure its your it was in the seat pocket where you were sitting". The guy was immediately arrested and taken away. We pissed ourselves laughing for the rest of the day. One of the most beautiful moments I have ever seen.

Watch it become a requirement now where 9 passenger planes have to have locked flight deck door in flight.

I had a guy whip out a bottle of rum out of his shirt and chug it down when I was flying a 180. He wanted a rollercoaster ride out of the flight. When cash wouldn't persuade me, his next course of action was to grab the controls. He got an elbow across the face and the sight of a pilot with no fear of doing whatever it takes to make him stop, with his hand on his sheath. He sobered up right away and behaved, and I dropped them off. I could see his buddy who was in the back yelling and pointing as I taxied away. He learned his lesson.

There was also a time were I considered marooning an unreasonably rowdy passenger on the beach below us, it was along a waterway where someone else could get him in a boat. He took the verbal warning well, so it wasn't necessary.

In both cases I was certain that all relevant parties would have backed up my actions.
