And it's tied to my credit card for points so I can amass enough for free flights. I'm not going to stop flying Delta but I guarantee this right here and now: if I ever see that happen, I will stand up and get kicked out too, and encourage others to follow suit. Nobody seems to have done that for this man. Too bad.

Doubts have been raised over the incident because Adam Saleh, 23, is best known for making hoax videos involving airlines.

the guy has been known to be a prankster in the past. I dont think casting a leery eye on this is out of line or being "racist" or bigotted. That doesnt mean there isnt Islamaphobia out there, or they didnt treat the Trump guy differently, but I have my doubts about this being truly legit

Not especially surprising. Shame so many fell for his shenanigans.
