re: Passenger removed from plane because he tweeted about poor service

So, she won the insecurity pissing contest.

Lesson: Never bring hashtags to a nametag fight.

no way i get off that plane. she would've had to call the cops and explain to them that she wanted me off cuz i tweeted something mean.

You would have been arrested for not complying with the airline employee

You broke the law, why would they feel sorry for you? I agree it was absurd but I would have complied and never flown the company again on my own dime

Why jump through the hoops if there is clearly no need. Getting arrested would accomplish zilch

On one hand it's such a beta move to tweet your frustration

What's even more beta is that when the agent declined to let his kids board with him, he essentially implied in the story he automatically got rude with them and started talking about he was going to tweet about it.

Judging from the story, he apparently likes to tweet a lot about stupid airport stuff.

frick you Kimberly S

I've had terrible experiences and also great ones. I'm flying them tomorrow morning to TPA so I guess I'll see which one I get.

I have noticed though that if you fly with them in the morning, most of the time their planes aren't delayed and the people are generally nicer. Afternoon and evening add at least an hour onto your trip cause their 30/35 minute turns at MSY are ridiculous.

This story doesn't make any sense. The only "priority boarding" that A-list guarantees you is after family boarding. Should have been able to board earlier due to the kids regardless of his status.

Tweeting is how you get great customer service.

I've had Delta's twitter folks change my ticket when I was in a bind before

I love SW...never had a bad experience.

They're all out of the minds thinking SW is a bad airline. As a musician, they're the best I've ever been around. Delta broke a $1700 guitar of mine because they made me check it and then even after putting the proper care in the case to protect it, they tossed it around like it was a pillow. When I complained they told me tough shite and to take it up with my insurance.

I heard from a friend that SW is really good to musicians and lets you carry on instruments as large as a guitar. My $2800 guitar has not only been allowed on the plane but also been placed in the flight attendants' closet up front for safe keeping. That's four flights (round trip) where I've received that kind of treatment.

It pisses me off that people get so upset about trivial shite that they do stuff like what that guy did. It's an inconvenience, not a death sentence. You don't need to try to get someone fired/reprimanded over something so trivial

---

She's the one that overreacted to something trivial.

He put out a completely unthreatening "I'm pissed off" tweet and gave her first name - just like tons of other dissatisfied customers do every day.

She then proceeded to kick him off the plane - apparently in fear of her life because he called her rude on twitter and created a PR nightmare for her company.

If the story is accurate, she absolutely SHOULD be fired.
