Today they would have removed her and gate-checked her.

My thoughts when I read the article. Bet she didn't make that mistake again. And the captain is in charge, right?

How many flights have I been on that needed a moment like this?! It's hard to imagine the passengers not laughing. But it was a different time, I suppose.

If she would have blogged about it they, would have terminated her, ala Ellen Simonetti. Or more than likely, she would have been crushed to death by all the bags that people crammed into the luggage bin.

People probably wouldn't even wake her, just cram harder .
