To all my haters I'm saying he needed to get off when asked. I'm not debating policy and changes that may or may not be made. Do as you're told, sort it out like an adult somewhere else. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that.

Nothing is being added at this point.
I suppose that you don't mean your sewage as well.

Maybe I watched the wrong video, the one I watched showed a grown man throw a tantrum like a little child and hurt his poor little head in the process. He was not beaten..... was he asked to deplane unjustly??? Maybe he was maybe he wasn't I really don't care, he was asked to comply with instruction and threw a fit like a 2 year year old. For the record I spank my children and don't reward or give into tantrums.

So you are saying you don't know. Did the agent know? How were the other 3 who deplaned accomodated? Do we know the answer to that?

Well I guess we're discovering the obvious fact that most people around the world are in agreement that if you sell them something and then proceed to give it to them, that it's not right to take it back. All the airlines in the US will be rethinking their whole program with respect to deadheading crew members bumping their passengers and making changes.

I agree with LNL. Unfortunately, the airlines have trained the public by rewarding bad behavior. Even if its just answering the guy who jumps a line of folks because, "I just have a quick question". I finally saw and agent tell one of these chuckleheads, "So do all these people in line," and proceeded to ignore him.

Fwiw, a friend who works at the county jail as a trainer/instructor and heads up the "extraction team" said the result, to his eyes, appears to have been a failure in training of the airport extraction team. Either they did not follow the way they were taught, or they were trained improperly. His first instinct was not to admonish the passenger or his actions.
