No thanks.
^^^^^^^^^^
This I agree.
Also how the hell did that guy get BACK on the plane?

It's easy to say all this in hindsight. Overbooking and removing passengers from flights happen ALL THE TIME. It just never ended like this before, with all the camera phones rolling. You can't throw a deadheading crew on a Learjet every single time, that would cost a fortune. This was an unusual reaction from a long running standard practice. An article states the other 3 passengers deplaned without incident.
Sunday's event are going to make our jobs a lot harder. Especially for the flight attendants and gate agents.

I like how some people on here seem to suggest this had to do with the regional, as if this couldn't have happened on a mainline flight. Clearly the aggressors were ORD based regional security/law enforcement...
Nice to know that some on here think so lowly of the regionals who do the exact same job for the exact same brand.

Do we know why the DH crew was late to the gate?
