Bravo sir. A true Captain in every sense. Polite, firm, giving the problem people a chance to back down without directly naming them, and just fly. But absolute respect for this man ensuring the safety of ALL passengers and respectfully valuing his crew.

Well said Captain Thank you to and the entire team for your exceptional work. It is crucial to stress that bad behaviour will not be tolerated on aeroplanes. The safety of the aircraft, the well-being of the cabin crew, and the comfort of all passengers are paramount.

Well said, Captain, for clearly and firmly communicating this policy. Your decisive stance ensures that disruptive or inappropriate behaviour is addressed swiftly, which is essential for maintaining a secure and respectful environment onboard. This leadership supports the cabin crew and co-pilot in focusing on their essential duties without unnecessary interruptions or complications.

Disruptive behavior not only affects the overall safety and efficiency of the flight but also undermines the comfort and experience of all passengers. By setting a clear and uncompromising standard, you help preserve the integrity of air travel and reinforce the importance of mutual respect among all onboard.

Your thorough approach to addressing and managing these issues is highly commendable. It underscores the critical role that every passenger plays in contributing to a positive and safe travel environment. Thank you once again for your commitment to upholding these essential standards and ensuring a high-quality experience for everyone."
