The union for airline cabin crew is offering its support to Air New Zealand staff involved in an incident on board a long distance flight yesterday. Savage from Et Tu union said crew and airlines are telling the union that there is an increasing number of unruly passengers. "Cabin crew are very professional in what they do and they constantly train to deal with all kinds of threats and emergencies, so cabin crew can deal with these situations but obviously they're not desirable and they shouldn't be happening." She said their behaviour impacted on those they were travelling with, other customers and the airline's staff.
