Ex-Sen. D'Amato kicked off flight after rallying passengers against crew

9. It sounds like he was trying to help get people to move

and then got frustrated and wanted the captain to come back and move people.

He has a point. Why should everyone have to sit around and wait longer because six people are a$$holes?
Captain should have come back, selected people to move, and they do it or they leave the plane.


I am so SICK of flying.

My husband and I flew back last Friday from LaGuardia to Raleigh. The gate agent announced the plane was overweight
and they were asking first 5 people to give up seats, and then 10 people to give up seats. They started out at $200 vouchers
and then upped it to $500. Problem was, it was AA' s last flight out and the winter storm was due to hit within two hours
after our arrival time. Then they said if they didn't get volunteers, they would start removing people based on who last checked in.
No way did 10 people line up to take the offer.

After we boarded and were ready to go, I could only count 2 empty seats, so the whole thing didn't make sense to me at all.
