Nor does it include the judgements in small claims court in cases filed by fellow passengers.

How is someone that drunk allowed on an airliner anyway?

Interesting. High time these people are made to bear the consequences of this kind of behavior. Hopefully, it will give others something to consider before going off the deep end.

I hope he is also getting treatment for his alcohol problem. Going berserk when drunk and not remembering what happened is not normal...

The figures $100,000 is incorrect. He will have to pay $97,817 for reimbursement of Hawaiian Airlines’ costs for turning the jet around — including fuel, maintenance, ground crew, replacement flight crew, landing fee and re-catering.
No matter he deserved it and have got the right pubishment on him. Hope this never repaets again.
Peace.

Did you not catch the words "almost" and "nearly"?

near·ly 1. adjective very close to; almost.

Headline used 'almost', storyline used 'nearly'. Exact is only used in your comment which doesn't seem to pertain to the story.

However, there will be a question as to whether anyone will 'exact (verb) the penalty from the miscreant.

Seems to me, you are taking things a bit too literally. While precision and accuracy are admirable, and something to strive for, there will be times when you will need to make a rough estimate. You'll find that sometimes an estimate, based on some "rule of thumb" will do quite nicely. Good luck in your lessons.
