Why though?

When you purchase an airline ticket you are assigned a seat and that is your seat unless you wish to pay for an upgrade or change seats at the ticket counter BEFORE you board. Any civilized individual understands this procedure. You don't act like a fricking entitled jackass by trying to switch seats during the boarding process.

When was the last time you flew commercially?

I barely read the OP. I'm pretty tired of hearing stories about supposed racism.

But, even more importantly, why does a girl's flag football team exist?

Can't you see them standing at all parts of a major intersection, buckets in hand, with signs saying "help send our team to the national championship"?

I know enforcing not taking empty seats can be strict. I don’t know if purchased, checked in, and officially boarded seats by same group are that strict. In this case those seats even if originally part of group purchase would not have had check ins or boarding passes as the passengers didn’t go. I doubt she checked in 2 people who didn’t board the plane.

Depending on terms there is also possibility tickets purchased but unused could get some kind of credit towards another flight and not really be considered purchases anymore once door is closed. I have never heard of this airline before, so I don’t know anything on its policies.

I read the below from a 3rd party site specifically about Southwest.
quote:

How do Southwest flight credits work? Four events create one as of August 2026: canceling a flight, downgrading to a cheaper fare, canceling a purchased seat during a flight cancellation, and no-showing a refundable fare.

… Cancel at least 10 minutes before departure
That 10 minute rule decides everything on a nonrefundable ticket. Cancel a Basic or Choice fare in time and the value returns as credit; miss the window and the fare, plus any points behind it, can be forfeited. Choice Preferred and Choice Extra refund your original payment instead.

So now the term “ you people “ is racist? How about just sit in your assigned seat until you get to your destination


This part makes zero sense.

The flight attendant allegedly refered to them a "you people", and the response is:

quote:

"She just continued to degrade me and talk to me as if I weren't even a person."


Isn't "people" a plural form of "person"?

The flight attendants need to start wearing body cams. I’m sure we’re missing most of the details about what actually happened.

Worked out well for the cops it seems.

How many times do you think she repeated “we paid fo these seats?” In rapid fashion. And the. How many times did they repeat “what did we do?” When kicked off the plane.

I'm failing to see what rights were violated.

Obviously, the flight attendant said "you people", would not let the customer do whatever they wanted, and "demanded" they to follow the rules of the airline.

"You people" is being generous. Since when are the entitled monkeys called people?

Oh for fricks sake. The fact that you are even allowed to fly and attempting to sue says different. They make you want to be racist with this hyperbole.

Yes, but I'm not talking about trying to get into first class or anything like that. I'm talking people of the same party who simply want to swap seats with each other.

For example, I'm flying with my wife. I decide I'll take the aisle seat, even though it was technically assigned to her. How exactly does that make us entitled assholes?
I've ran into this issue before. 9/10, it's never a problem. But I've had flight attendants tell us it wasn't allowed and to switch back.

When the lawyer they hired sends them a legal bill, they'll ask for the bills to be split.

Especially on the return flight. No shows on the outbound will have their entire ticket forfeited.
