I'll see your "Thin Woman Kicked off Flight" and raise you a "Finger in the Buttcrack Sparks Knife Fight." In your face!
You get more money from two seats than one, right? Fat kid had already paid for his two seats.
Flying standby comes with risks. I'm sure they offered the woman the next flight out at no charge and probably a complimentary ticket as well.
Me thinks she is trying to make a big stink out of nothing. :shrug:
The local woman was flying standby, paid full fare for the last available seat, got on board, stowed her bags and sat down – only to be told she would have to deplane immediately
"It didn't seem right that I should have to leave to accommodate someone who had only paid for one seat," she tells us.
Fat kid had already paid for his two seats.
I must have missed this bit of info both times I read the article.
'"It didn't seem right that I should have to leave to accommodate someone who had only paid for one seat," She tells us"
Dummy up the dollars for the extra seat, lardass, or get stowed as luggage.
Shouldn't Shelly Obama have been called in. I mean, a 14 year old girl who already requires two seats on an airplane! She should be put on a Sweet Potato Pie and Kale diet right away!
All grown in the White House garden, no doubt. FLOTUS is off to Spain, and I doubt she relinquishes her seat to anyone, ever.
There aint no standby on Air Force planes for the First family or their dog.
Should there be?
Should there be?
Not exactly my point.
Well: They could all fly in the same plane.
paid full fare for the last available seat
That's why I think the fat one had already reserved (paid for) two seats. When the kid didn't show on time, the airline sold a seat (standby) to the skinny. She did pay for one (last minute) doesn't mean the other two seats weren't already paid for. I want a third (and true) article to read.If she got the last available seat, and the fat kid needed two seats, where did the 2nd seat come from? Was she the only one kicked off or did someone next to her get the boot too?
Love her or loather her, FLOTUS represents the USofA when traveling abroad. I don't question the manner of her travel. I question her ability to perform the duties and not make an(other) mockery of the station she holds.
