TYT’s Cenk Uygur booted from American Airlines flight because pilot wasn’t ‘comfortable'

157. The plane captain is The Ultimate Authority as to who stays and who goes.

His job is passenger and crew safety, as well as flying the aircraft.

If you don't want to be booted off the plane, it's a good idea to not speak "angrily" and present an aggressive attitude. The gate agent isn't delaying the plane to be "mean" to Cenk or anyone else.

I mean, really--does anyone who is a sentient being think that the airline employees delayed the flight for shits and giggles? Does anyone really think that the airline personnel ENJOY pissed off passengers?

Shit happens. You have to deal with it.

Cenk might be able to reschedule that flight, but if he bought a cheap ticket, he won't get his money back. That's the chance he takes. He needs to check the PAX bill of rights--but as for his shirty "tude?" The pilot was within his rights ENTIRELY to deny him boarding.

People should realize this--you're renting a seat and a crew trained in emergency procedures. You're not hiring serfs you can berate if things do not go your way.
