What is it with people nowadays that any little thing happens, someone records it on a cellphone, posts it online, it goes viral and they are made out to be poor downtrodden victims. The latest "bump" occurred when a family wanted to let their infant ride in a seat left unoccupied by an older child who took an earlier flight. The infant was not supposed to get a seat. The airlines assigned the empty seat to a passenger who was flying "standby". Now, Delta has been forced to apologize. All it did was enforce the rules.
What a crock. FAA regulations say a seat must be occupied by the person holding a ticket for it. The infant had no ticket!
It seems that everyone today just wants to make up their own rules and then scream. In the earlier incident with the doctor, 3 of the 4 people "bumped" followed the rules. If anything, they should have tazed him for obstructing the officer. If he disagreed with the request, take it up with the airline AFTER he's off the plane. The cop was doing his job. Now the guy got a settlement ($$$)
Anyway, I guess I'm just getting to be a cranky old man. :x Rant over.
