B747-437B,

It makes not one bit of difference wheher or not Mr. Dasrath was a NONREV. Whether or not you are a nonrev, you are entitled to the same basic rights as anyone else. If the complaint is true, neither the Captain nor CO had any right to deplane a passenger because another passenger was uncomfortable with their appearance. The correct thing to
do would have offered the woman the choice of taking a later flight if that were to make her uncomfortable.

Still don't think nonrevs have rights? A few years back, a blind woman sued HP. The reason was because she was asked to move from her FIRST class seat to coach because another F class passenger was offended by her seeing eye dog. The blind woman sued HP and won. Guess what, not only was she a NONREV, but in fact a buddy pass rider!!!
