This was the first time you've seen Skywest remove passengers for weight and balance issues?? Wow, you must not fly them too often...happens all the time...it was one of the reasons my wife and I got VDB off our PDX-SEA UAX flight...it was on the EMB120 and the gate agent said we were one of the few passengers that was NOT connecting on to NRT. We only got $200...for $250 and overnight at United's expense in JAC? That would be a no-brainer for me...I'm never in THAT big of a hurry to get anywhere
