This is such a BS story. Give mw a break. There is no way anything could be done to you. What is this BS about the color of your skin and you had no choice or what? you would be dragged and whipped or something? What do you think security would do in front of all the witnesses? The airline, the employee could face such a huge lawsuit for anything that would resemble even a minor appearance of discrimination. Contractually you were in the right, so please don't BS us here that the white man won again. That freaking plane is not moving till I either get my seat for which I paid for, or if there was some kind of computer glitch, I get a satisfactory resolve, which would have to be beneficial to me in many different ways
Please stop being the victim, it is getting old.</font>
Some battles are not worth fighting. I might of insisted on seeing the other passenger's BP but otherwise it could be a computer glitch. B747-437B was compensated by NW for their mistake.
As far as not putting much of a fuss I see his point. A friend of mine had been placed on an alert list and denied boarding by AA. At one point she made a bit of a fuss about this. She was delisted but AA still denies her boarding decause of the fuss she made. The bottom line, if anyone starts creating a fuss, you take the chance of being taken off the plane. Pick your battles!
