It was the 3rd, and it was in the neighborhood of 2:45AM CST. (I looked at the post I made just prior to that, and I'm estimating.) It's curious that the Index listed my post, but it didn't appear on the thread.
Anyway, if that's the reason it's gone, I guess it will be safe to repeat my comment.
It went something like this:
I'm amazed that this thread took so many posts (the 48th response, I believe) for somebody to come up with an idea other than throw him out of the airplane at FL370 or deliver him to France.
Why the preoccupation with racism? Would the response be different if the guy just threatened to kill the FA?
A passenger threatened the FA, right? We're done - - airplane goes to the most convenient loacation where the passenger can be delivered to U.S. law enforcement authorities, the airplane can be refueled, and the airplane can depart and continue the scheduled flight to France. That location is probably NOT the departure airport, and it is probably in front of me. Boston? Newark? JFK? If I have to burn fuel to get to landing weight, it might be farther north, but I'm not leaving the continental US with a passenger who has threatened a crewmember. All I need is a cop, a fuel truck, and a runway long enough to get me over the pond.
The threat is not dismissed simply because it was racially charged.
