A Southwest Airlines flight attendant lost two teeth during an assault on a flight over the weekend, a union leader wrote in a letter to the airline's CEO asking for support with increasingly unruly passengers.
"From April 8 to May 15, there were 477 passenger misconduct incidents on Southwest Airlines Aircraft," Lyn Montgomery, the president of the Transport Workers Union of America Local 556, wrote in a letter Monday to Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly.
"The unprecedented number of incidents has reached an intolerable level, with passenger non-compliance events also becoming more aggressive in nature," Montgomery wrote adding that a flight attendant over the weekend was "seriously assaulted, resulting in injuries to the face and loss of two teeth."
