Instead of being a bad look for the airline, it should be a bad look for the perp and a good look for the company which refuses to let unruly passengers increase the dangers of flying in confined space within a fragile vehicle. Behave or lose your privileges and you get to pay 3x next time you try to get on a flight.

If someone tries to kick out a window I don't think they should be allowed to fly ever again

  For some additional context, the person in that story was 13 years old.

    This hasn’t been the only person restrained due to unruliness, however it’s been the only one where we know the person was trying to kick out a window —there have been others attempting to open exits. Also I don’t know this 13-yo. Some can be small some can be large.

    13 years olds should be mature enough to know how to behave.

  If someone tries to drive while impaired, they should never be able to drive again. If someone drives their car at dangerous speeds, they should never be able to drive again. If someone overdraws their account, they should never be able to bank again. If someone is caught on their bicycle without a helmet, they should never be able to ride a bike again …

    lol you people and your whataboutism. Taking down a plane and putting a plane full of people in a dangerous situation is not equivalent to riding a bike without a helmet. How ridiculous

      Yes, it’s not equivalent… but I think the point was more that absolute banishment as a punishment to anything is ridiculous, primitive, and more an emotional response than a logical one.

Not really sure if economics is solving these sorts of crimes.

The FAA can impose huge fines and a lifetime flying ban on unruly passengers. Airlines can ban passengers on their own, here's a recent famous case where a state legislator got banned: https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/26/politics/alaska-airlines-suspends-state-senator-lora-reinbold/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/26/politics/alaska-airlines-susp...
