So? If they don’t like to feel uncomfortable, maybe they would be more receptive to turning down the volume.
Flight bans for the people at the top stoking those feelings would be more appropriate.

Depends, for what we saw they were trying to drag him to the right, so that’s a downgrade to the pet cage in cargo.

And, me, I often used to accept their round trip consolations. Not always, but another flight in 2 hours, no problem.

Better for the pilots to have the crazies on the ground wishing they were in the airplane, than to have the crazies on the flight and pilots wishing they were on the ground.

Why would you make the poor dog suffer in that company.

I saw video of passangers on a jet, screaming “Traitor” at Romney while in their seats. Perhaps some people see that as “redress of grievances.”
I see it as harassment, which subjected other (normal) Delta passengers to a long-running roar of ugly noise. Must those “normal” passengers put up with that crap, for the sake of the 1st Amendment, which applies to the government but not private corporations?
If I was Ed Bastian I would have done the same thing.

As much as I savor watching leopards eat the faces of elected officials from the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party, no airline is obligated to provide carriage for leopards.

The incident he is referring to, was the infamous United flight, last one of the night from chicago to louisville. They removed four boarded, seated, non-disruptive passengers because at the very last minute they decided to use those four seats to transport four dead-heading crew who needed to be in louisville the next morning to work a different flight.
This was not an overbooking situation where they bribe passengers into giving up their seats. The ejected four seated passengers at the last minute to reduce their costs of operating a different flight on a different day. Their own contract of carriage does not permit this.

“it’s going to be like this wherever you go for the rest of your life.”
Or not.
I am curious how Delta knew who the offenders were.

Haven’t they stopped offering food and drink on most flights? Stupid excuse to drop the mask.

The First Amendment protects people from being punished by the federal and state governments for things they say and write. There is not right to free speech in my home, for instance, and these people were in Delta’s home. Fuck’em.

Understood, so I’ve just done my part to help them out. Think I got off a plane more than once when they requested additional seats. Hasn’t happened in a long while though.

They weren’t. Those are taxpayer-funded airports.
The rowdies on the plane, little different thing.

Free Speech does NOT equal Free Action.
You can THINK whatever you want to. You can SAY just about whatever you want to (there are Laws against Defamation, Incitement to Riot, etc.), but your ACTIONS are subject to LAW at all times.
No excuses.
One of them was a minor media personality, and several of them social medioted their disruption, and Delta would have had a list of all pax flying from their gates that day. Half a day’s work for an intern.
