On the heels of the ridiculous "inappropriate dress" claim by Southwest comes this bit of airline employee overreaction and gross abuse of authority that resulted in four grown men being escorted off a flight. For making fun of each other...

...On the plane was a group of seven guys traveling to Biloxi to blow off some steam and lose a bunch of money at the tables. Working on the plane was a flight attendant I'll call "Vincent" (because that's what it said on his name tag), who was miserable to everyone from the second we boarded the plane. He had a scowl on his face and a chip on his shoulder. Just the person you want to be trapped in a flying tube with, 34,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico.

...The group of seven were joking and busting each others balls from the time they were at the gate. Nothing crazy. Comments on lack of gambling skills. Choice of clothing. Tightness with a buck. Normal guy stuff. And none of it directed at anyone but each other.

...When we landed the pilot came over the loudspeaker and told us we needed to remain in our seats and keep the aisles clear. The reason? The four "disruptive" passengers were being escorted off. And were then met at the gate by local police.

Well I say we all boycott AirTran.   But come to think of it, I've never flown them anyway....and now I don't plan to.

SHEESH!!!
