[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

It's my understanding most calls to the police, because of an in-flight incident, do NOT result in the flight attendant(s) initiating the call (via the cockpit) being questioned by the police. If this is an incorrect view I'd like to hear the denials--especially from those who do not have a pattern of pro-airline posts.

The questioning witnesses and alleged victims is fairly common in the vast majority of police call situations. Only when the incident involves something happening at an airport, or onboard an aircraft, does there appear to be a major exception. If a passenger is, truly, behaving inappropriately--drunk, refusing to be seated, physically assaultive, smoking, etc.--then the airline should be willing to add additional time to a crew member's rest period for the purpose of answering the questions of law enforcement officers. On the other hand crew members who have a pattern of chronically initiating police calls for bogus reasons would then find their rest periods penalized.
