We get to the gate in CLT, and the agent (mainline) refuses to give us seats for our DH down to MIA, because "express can't must-ride", and proceeds to fill the flight up.

Of course, we're just laughing because we'd just as soon go home anyway, but we called skeds and told them the problem. Skeds was "what what what? Whats the gate number?".

Skeds called the gate, and it was one of those phone conversations where it was so loud, you could actually hear the person on the other end of the phone. Hilarity ensued as I witnessed one what was probably the funniest standoffs in my career.
