Fliers’ vs. Airlines’ Rights
Airlines have long been able to remove disruptive passengers from their airplanes. But while in the past only fellow travelers knew what had happened, now social media exposes these disputes to a worldwide audience. (www.nytimes.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The only right passengers should have is to get from point A to point B safely they don't have any special right in a grocery store or a gas station what makes them think they have any special rights on an airplane.
@Alistair: alluding to my earlier comment, I have no problem with people exercising their rights to do this or that.Problem is that they seem to think they are the only one that has any rights and fail to take into consideration the fact that other people have the same rights and that they may be infringing on them. That goes to your "driving" that you mention here and many other things as well. The list is very long and it don't take much to see who was raised halfway decent and who was not. Problem is, us old schoolers are getting fewer in number my friend.lol
This reminds me of back in high school one of my friends cussed any time he felt like it. And when someone asked him to be quiet he would scream " Its my first ammendment right". Now that he is grown up a few years (10). He now has 2 daughters of his own 4 and 6 and barks at any punk who cuss infront of them. I kind of wonder if the people pulled off the flights one day when they get old and wrinkley will feel the same they did on the day they were pulled from a flight. Or will they see the way that acted as childish.
My biggest concern is getting stuck on the ground for hours inside the plane. Regardless of the reason there ought to be a hard time that they have to let people off if they want off. That includes having a means to deplane even without a gate. I would rather walk a mile in a foot of snow than sit in a plane with piss running down the isles.
As far as people being too big for the seat,too smelly, too under dressed, too drunk,etc. It's their plane and their rules. If you think you get treated unfairly don't use their services. You don't have the same rights in someone else's plane, restaurant, etc. As you do in your own home. Most people fly all their life and never have a problem. Being on a ship or a plane is not a democracy---the captain is gospel, like it or not.

98% of us know how to dress and behave on a flight. Well maybe not that high of a percentage.
I believe many are so self centered and so self important that they believe they have an absolute right to anything they please with impunity.
This has lead to increasing amounts of inconsiderate and downright boorish behavior on passenger flight.
I believe the air carriers should absolute authority to grant passage or refuse passage at any time so as long as civil rights of people are not violated.
The baggy pants guy and the dopey chick with the micro mini skirt? Allow them an opportunity to adjust their wardrobe or they can drive to their destination. People who are uncooperative are that way because they believe their rights are more important than those of all others. They have to be shown such is not the case.

When you get right down to it, it's manners. People don't display manners any more. Look at the rude drivers on the road, in department storesand just about every where. Thanks, Mick
