1. Do you think blacklisting passengers is a good idea?
I don’t think so. Obviously, there should be consequences for people with bad behavior, but everybody should have a second chance.
2. Have you ever been on a flight with an unruly passenger? Talk about this incident.
So far, I have been lucky and have never been on a flight with an unruly passenger or a really long delay.
3. What are other actions/behaviors that should cause someone to be banned from airports or airlines?
I think these kinds of decisions should be made by the crew, who have more experience in this field.
4. Should aviation laws in your country be toughened to address problems with trouble-causing passengers?
In my opinion, no. All the flights I have taken have been fine, so I think there is no need to toughen aviation laws.

I don´t think it´s a goos idea.
People pay for their plane tickets, sometimes a large amount of money, and they, of course, have planned their timetable according to the take-off time, maybe they have important things to do and need to take the plane urgently.
A more than two hours delay might cause to them a lot of problems. That´s what are companies would have to take into account. and the best way is avoiding these delays.
