There is no other answer besides INDUBITABLY YES!!!
Did we forget 9/11??
I don’t understand why people are openly wondering if AA handled this the right way.
If she was actually having a breakdown of some sort… some have questioned if restraining her in that manner might actually do more harm than good. Of course, others have pointed out that, in a scenario like that, the crew has to do what they must to keep people safe.
As for American, a rep for the company tells us this… “While in flight from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Charlotte (CLT) on July 6, the crew on board American Airlines flight 1774 reported a potential security concern after a customer attempted to open the forward boarding door and physically assaulted, bit and caused injury to a flight attendant.” They add, “For the safety and security of other customers and our crew, the individual was restrained until the flight landed at CLT and could be met by law enforcement and emergency personnel.”
The woman was taken to a hospital for an evaluation, and that she’s on AA’s no-fly list until further notice.
