Same flight, deplaning near the end, what appeared to be a prisoner transfer.
Flight gets to the gate, two security guards, one proudly displaying handcuffs get on the plane.
Three security guards and a fourth individual get off the plane. They step aside.
The fourth individual is cuffed and they all leave the area.

Pinball Clemons and his wife on the flight. Pinball gave his wife the Premium Rouge seat and he went and sat in the back.

I've been on 3 flights with Mike Clemons over the years. The most recent one was this past January where there was serious weather at YYC causing some major IRROPS. He and I got to chatting in the MLL, and then again in the boarding line (both of us praying that the red-eye was going to actually leave for YYZ). I have to say that he is one of the most gracious and nicest people I've ever conversed with. I know, the sample size is small, given that we only chatted for maybe 20 to 30 minutes, but his on-radio/on-TV/public-speaking persona seems extremely genuine.

I don't care for so-called "celebrity" at all. Pinball is just a gem of a person. We were on the same flight YYZ-LAS and my husband even gave him a hug as we left the plane ! I still laugh about this as I keep telling him Pinball was just going for a handshake

I went to the back a few years ago to see what it was like. LOL.
