Default MSNBC: Petite woman bumped from plane for hefty passenger


MSNBC: Petite woman bumped from plane for hefty passenger

Most sensible airlines, REFUSE TO ALLOW late-arrivibg passengers to board -
usually 20 minutes before taking off.

In other wordsd, lardbuckets should not have been allowed boarding, let alone
forcing an already boarded passengerr out of her seat.

Only 14, and already a fat slob... disgusting. Also, if the passenger was late
enough that they reassigned her seat to a standby passenger, that decision
should have been irreversible. If you can't get there on time, that's on
you.


Yeah but since he seemed to be flying alone, I am sure that SW did not
want the liability associated with keeping an eye on the 14 y/o (let
alone the cost of feeding him) until the next flight.
