This is so Russian…it’s not even funny anymore (well actually it is):

MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- Drunken passengers often give air crews trouble, but Russia's leading airline on Tuesday reported an "unprecedented" reversal: A passenger was assaulted by intoxicated flight attendants.
-----------------------------------------
Two crew members on a domestic Aeroflot flight beat up a passenger who had complained that the flight attendants were drunk, airline spokeswoman Irina Dannenberg said.
---------------------------------------
Seeing that the crew were intoxicated and were not fulfilling their duties, Chernopup asked to be served by a sober and competent flight attendant, Dannenberg said. He was then beaten up by crew members.
------------------------------------------
According to the passenger, Chernopup left the plane with a black eye and was promptly sent to a doctor. Izvestia also reported that a criminal case was opened after Chernopup reported the incident to the police.
--------------------------------------------
The entire crew of the flight has been temporarily dismissed and a joint commission is investigating the incident, Dannenberg said.

Heh! I read about this a day or so ago. Hilarious!:D

That is one flight you'd actually want to hear the flight attendants give pre-flight safety drill. :D

Hee, hee! That's pretty funny.

Remember, kids, you can't spell "vicious, drunken airline help" without V-O-D-K-A!
