    He has the aisle seat next to me and his wife the one directly behind him. He asks me if they can sit together and I happily oblige.

    Hoodie wants to get up. he walks to the back & stands in the galley for 10 mins just staring at the metal wall. The stewardesses ignore him

    Then he comes back and sits down. The japanese couple are squeezing away from him. He starts ripping up a magazine and licking the paper

    Then he starts sticking the magazine pieces to the mini tv in front of him. The wife calls the stewardess who comes and tells him to stop

    Then he wants to get up again. This time he walks to the front. I feel uneasy and I go back & tell one of the ladies that he's acting weird
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:15:16
  12. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    And I'm really not sure that its a good idea that he's hanging around the front where all the buttons are for the doors.

    In the front I see some sort of exchange with him and a lady who's just come out of the loo. He starts back down the aisle and stops halfway
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:18:55
  14. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    He just stands in the aisle staring at some guy not saying anything for 5 minutes like he wants to fight someone. The japanese look worried
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:20:09
  15. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    I go back & say to the stewardess isn't there an air marshal who can come and sit next to hoodie. She says no they can't identify themselves
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:22:11
  16. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    The air marshal's only there to stare at the cockpit door & protect it. She calls the captain who says there's another off duty one on board

    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    The japanese couple get up and go stand in the back.The plane is totally full & there is nowhere else for them to sit.The off duty guy comes
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:25:51

    He sits down next to hoodie and they exchange a few words. I'm right behind and now hoodie starts shouting at the guy fuck you many times
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:27:13
  19. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    Hoodie tries to get up but air marshal blocks him. More fuck yous. Hoodie throws his vodka at him but it lands on the couple in front of him
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:28:46
  20. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    The stewardesses come up and try to talk to hoodie to no avail. Then they look around & ask if anyone wants to volunteer to sit next to him
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:30:06
  21. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    As the japanese couple refuse to come back and the air marshal sits away from from hoodie on the aisle saying nasty things to each other
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:31:10
  22. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    I'm feeling quite guilty for switching with the japanese couple in the first place and volunteer to sit next to him.
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:32:58
  23. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    I stand up and look over. Let's talk let's just talk I say. Hoodie who's called marco says I know he's a cop to the air marshal
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:34:52
  24. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
    And then he looks at me and growls you must be a cop too. How many american cops do you know that have english accents I say
    Mon, Aug 20 2012 04:36:15
  25. cassianelwes
    cassian elwes@cassianelwes
