Trump supporters who stormed US Capitol should not be allowed to fly, airline union says

Supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday should not be allowed to depart the Washington area on commercial flights after exhibiting “mob mentality behavior” on flights into the region, the head of a large flight attendants union said. Sources at two US airlines said there had been unruly passengers on flights to the DC area on Tuesday, raising concern about their departure. “The mob mentality behavior that took place on several flights to the DC area yesterday was unacceptable and threatened the safety and security of every single person onboard,” Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA representing workers at 17 airlines, said. “Acts against our democracy, our government and the freedom we claim as Americans must disqualify these individuals from the freedom of flight,” the statement added.<br/>
