You know it's bad when Delta mentions the DC carrier by name in the press release...

What rows, specifically - I seem to have missed the spot in the article where it said which row was mentioned? If it were an exit row, would you let someone with rather severe autism sit there? And why did the crew "leave the terminal"? Could it have been that they timed out?

I'm surprised that a pilot would take a news story at face value given the horrible track record the media has in getting aviation facts correct. For that matter, I'm just happy they didn't identify the airplane as a "Cessna".

I wish news media would be held accountable for fake or over blownup news. They don’t. More to it if the crew left..

So we’re just not even going to consider the crew’s side of the story huh?

Exactly. The news never does... hopefully time will get us the real story. I can’t imagine that it’s accurate based off all the inflight service training they do...

Sounds like airport security was trying to strongarm the pilots into going. After that United pilot got arrested after arguing with an airport cop over something the airport cop had no business sticking his nose in i’d so the same thing. An airport rent a cop has no business dictating what’s safe for my aircraft.
