This is my last post in the thread, but I'm glad you brought this up - I had forgotten about this. This is almost identical to this scenario, and you've completely changed the story. In that case, I was going MIA or FLL-YYZ-YVR-YYC, and had paid a fairly significant amount $200 or $300 for that routing, to get a pod on YYZ-YVR. Like here, they kicked me off the YYZ-YVR flight, on the pretense that there wasn't time to make it, when in reality my suitcase was checked in 31 min before the YYZ-YVR flight departed, and then the concierge refused to let me switch to YYZ-YYC direct without paying $75, which is mind boggling.
All I said in that case were words to the effect of "if you check the flight manifest you'll see I had a kosher meal on the flight you kicked me off of, and on the one before. If you're going to make me go all the way to YVR you better make darn sure you get me a kosher meal on the new flight, I'd call jewish organizations. At no point did i hold myself out as a jew. And in fact, I stood up for those who might get kicked off a flight, and made to fly a longer routing without regard to their special dietary needs.
As is the case here, you are mistaking the point again. The point there too was a) I paid extra to fly an additional segment, and not an insignificant amount; b) they offloaded me under false pretense and in fact the only reason they did it was because the flight was oversold and they needed my seat; c) they insisted on inconveniencing me with a flight I didn't want to take, even though it was their "fault" that I was in the predicament that I was.
But anyway, I'm done with this thread. Adios!!
