Just what exactly would two other jets be able to do to decrease the danger posed by an out of control passenger inside an airliner?
Was a copilot going to step out the cockpit walk along the adjacent wings open the door from the outside and shoot her with their service revolver?
There’s a Jet2 pilot comes to the ‘drome. She once told me that if a passenger fucks about and they have to land anywhere other than the planned destination it’s a £50k fine straight away.
£35k for a 2 fighter jets escort seems pretty bargainous.

£85k fine for getting pissed, hopefully she won't be able to afford to go on holiday for a good while
