   Disruption of air travel by Trump suppor

   Supporters of US President Trump have caused unrest on several flights to and   
   from Washington in recent days. Fox News reports on incidents on American   
   Airlines and Alaska Airlines aircraft. The latter company wants to put   
   passengers on a black list.   
       
   Trump supporters flocked to Washington from across the country this week to   
   demonstrate against the Nov. 3 presidential election results. The protests   
   ended in a storming of the Capitol on Wednesday, in which five people were   
   killed and dozens of people arrested.   
       
   From Thursday, the protesters returned to their homes, but this was not always   
   orderly. On an Alaska Airlines flight from Washington to Seattle, fourteen   
   passengers were guilty of harassing crew members. They also refused to wear a   
   face mask. "We will not tolerate any disruption on board our aircraft or the   
   airports we serve," Alaska Airlines said in a statement.   
       
   Earlier this week, Trump supporters got into a fight with another passenger on   
   an American Airlines flight from Dallas / Fort Worth to Washington. After the   
   passenger allegedly threatened the Trump supporters, this man was treated   
   racially. Video images of this were shared on social media.   
       
   Sara Nelson, the president of the US cabin crew umbrella organization, says   
   Trump supporters have been guilty of gang behavior aboard several passenger   
   planes. According to Nelson, the behavior was unacceptable and endangered   
   safety on board. She called for a no-fly time for anyone who participated in   
   "violent and inflammatory actions at the Capitol" on Wednesday.
