A customer on a WestJet flight from Toronto to Edmonton says there were some tense moments as he and others helped the crew subdue an unruly passenger. Kelly says the man approached the flight attendant each time and asked to get off the plane while it was still in the air. He said the flight attendant asked for help so he and some other passengers stepped in and helped restrain the passenger. He also said "it was weird" the man was wearing a backpack three hours into the flight. Earlier this week there was an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight where an agitated passenger tried to open a rear door during the flight.
