Shouting grounded passenger jet
The flight was due to leave Glasgow for Amsterdam
A passenger whose behaviour caused a jet's take-off to be abandoned has been
told to seek psychiatric assessment.
Paisley Sheriff Colin Pettigrew heard that Eileen Slonaker, from Glasgow,
was shouting that she wanted to die.
Her shouts and swearing forced the pilot to turn the plane around before it
was due to head down the runway.
Slonaker, 48, will be examined by a psychiatrist before being sentenced at
the end of the month, after her solicitor claimed she was agoraphobic.
The captain of the Easyjet flight from Glasgow to Amsterdam radioed police
to escort Slonaker, from Scotstoun, from the Boeing aircraft, which was
diverted to a vacant boarding point.
Frightened passengers
She pleaded guilty to conducting herself in a disorderly manner by shouting
and swearing, placing others in a state of fear and alarm and committing a
breach of the peace last May.
Slonaker refused to move when worried cabin crew, who could smell alcohol on
her, tried to usher her to the front of the aircraft.
The court was told she was shouting and swearing so loudly that terrified
passengers were moved to other seats, but it sparked another outburst.
Sheriff Pettigrew said the courts took a serious view of disorderly conduct
onboard aircraft.
The alert was particularly disturbing as it had occurred as the plane was
"about to taxi down the runway".
