United Airlines warns employees not to duct tape passengers

United Airlines warns employees not to duct tape passengers: United Airlines sought to avoid its own sticky situations with passengers by warning staff to refrain from using duct tape to restrain unruly fliers — after flight attendants at two other airlines recently resorted to the tactic, making for memorable viral videos. “Please remember that there are designated items onboard that may be used in difficult situations, and alternative measures such as tape should never be used,” John Slater, senior VP for inflight services, wrote in a memo obtained by Newsweek.
