No need to be a drama queen about it. At the most, give her the stink eye, shae your head and go back to eating. You haven't been drinking, nothing to worry about. Period.

If you are working the flight, per many FOMs there is a policy to follow. Ask her if she cares to repeat or withdraw the comment. If she does not withdraw, you required to go take a test. Like others have said, I would tell her she just delayed the flight for herself and everyone else around as I must follow procedure and take every allegation seriously. Throw the delay in her face.

That's not being a drama queen, that's following airline policy. If you work for an airline, check your FOM to see if "shae your head" is part of the alcohol accusation policy.

I think everyone is overreacting to this situation.

There is very simple resolution. Here's what I do; turn to her and say cheers.

No, in all honesty I slowly put down my beer, look around as if I'm not sure who's she's talking about and slyly walk away.

Stay Calm and Chive On!

I think the best thing to do is to confront the person in question nose to nose and say, "Are you making an accusation or a slanderous remark, because I will not be slandered by you or anyone else." Then watch how quickly they backpedal and say, "Jeez! I was just kidding!" Then you say, "I'm still not laughing and I await your apology."

Be sure to tell the LEO that you think she took something out of your bag and stuffed it down her shirt, but you're not sure what it was.

Then go get a refill on your drink and watch the show.

I would look her in the eyes and tell her to **** off. No time for the idiots of the world.

Exactly, anybody who would go take a pee test is really dumb. Absolutely ridiculous notion. Just blow the bit$& off.

Is that Brown's official position on that? I can assure you that at Delta, if that happened and you just blew it off and the CP office found out, you'd be doing the rug dance on why you didn't follow the FOM.

All according to the law and within the requests of ALL parties, accused and accuser.

And then leak to the news how a )!*$(*&$#@ passenger caused a flight full of people to be delayed.
