- lucasay - 595 sekunder sedanFeels less like malice and more like people just not thinking about others. Still, on a plane you’re stuck for hours—rules like this make sense.
- pjmlp - 6235 sekunder sedanIs this really a thing?!? Blasting the others with unwanted noise.
I never been in a flight, or train across Europe where passengers showed just lack of respect for the others.
The only ones pumping anything loud, on trains or busses, usually get quickly pointed down by other passengers, personal or security.
Ah, and then there are the rebellious kids or gangs, as the other exception, which usually don't take flights anyway.

- raggi - 6383 sekunder sedanOk, but how about kicking sick people off of flights, particularly trans continental?
- mikkupikku - 6601 sekunder sedanAt cruising altitude, I hope.
- HPsquared - 6018 sekunder sedanI assume it's about blasting others with noise, not company sponsored headphones.
- hxorr - 2803 sekunder sedanThis sounds like a USA problem..

- SilverElfin - 7321 sekunder sedanWe need to also ban people taking calls on speaker in public places like cafes or trains.
- keiferski - 6964 sekunder sedanI first interpreted the title as meaning you must use the cheapo free headphones and aren’t allowed to use your own.
- standardUser - 4304 sekunder sedanThey should be stripped of all citizenship and left to live out their life roaming the airport. But this is a start.
- verdverm - 4461 sekunder sedanAn app you can use to play back their audio on a short delay that messes with the brain
- paxys - 5256 sekunder sedanGood, now do the same for public transit.
- dmitrygr - 7037 sekunder sedanYes! Now do the same on beaches, busses, streets. Same punishment: banishment from the area.

- austin-cheney - 5331 sekunder sedanI agree with the policy but this is such a mild offense. Just a few years ago in the US there was an epidemic of drunk people savagely beating flight attendants.
People who cannot figure out how to share use of shared space should lose access to those places.
- ashwinnair99 - 5918 sekunder sedanAirlines have been quietly expanding what they can remove you for. This isn't really about headphones. It's about how much discretion crew have now and how little recourse you have at 35,000 feet.
