  1. Why does the recruitment sector always attract this type of person

  2. I remember when passengers like this were duct taped and gagged. I guess in first class you get a bit more leeway.

  3. Damn, he racially abused the cabin crew and threatened to gang rape her and set her on fire, punched another cabin crew member, and threatened to blow up their hotel, six prior convictions, and still ended up with less than half the sentence of Lucy Connolly.

  4. “A wealthy recruitment director”

    Shareholders funds -£3210

    Why do the press not investigate things properly?

  5. >Salman Iftikhar, 37, **was flying first class with his wife and three children** when he threatened and abused Virgin Atlantic staff on a flight from London Heathrow to Lahore.

    Jesus Christ, he was with his family!

  6. Wealthy ?

    One of his company’s that used to Trade under SM ltd but changed it’s name is in Administration to the tune of £20 MILLION pounds just to one bank and the HMRC.

    He’s a fraudster.

  7. He threatened to gang rape her by himself . I dont think he thought that out

  8. How hard is it to get through the airport, get on the plane, keep your trap shut and get to where you need to be

    I doubt most people would have any objections to a blanket rule of if you behave like this and cause a disturbance on a flight then that’s it you’re banned from flying for life. Wouldn’t imagine it’s particularly difficult to implement and would be a strong deterrent to ballbags who behave like this

    Flying is a privellige not a right

  9. 10 year ban, and all other airlines ban you too.
    Simple.

  10. “Iftikhar appeared in court wearing a grey suit with a pink shirt and yellow tie as he wept upon hearing his sentence. LinkedIn lists him as founder and director of recruitment firm Staffing Match.”

    Ah, it all makes sense now

  11. An absolute joke of a sentence.15yrs would’ve been appropriate for this scumbag.
