Right, but at FT we're pedantic and would point out that the code for the whole Detroit area is DTT

If this is to become a "thing" then perhaps at the next retrofit Delta could ask that Boeing add an ejector seat so that these passengers could simply be disposed of in the most convenient way possible. Perhaps a standard ejection seat for use while on the tarmac and a pneumatic tube system for in-flight use.

If someone refuses to get off the plane and becomes dead weight, what else can they do. Perhaps a stretcher if it can fit down the aisle.

If people would do the right things and follow the airline and police instructions, things like this would not happen. This needs to be done quickly because of delays of this flight and flights at this gate and flights later in the day. But more important is the safety of the passengers and crew onboard the aircraft.

I know every airport police force is different. Every lucky chance I've gotten to see police interactions at my airport, the officer gives the passenger one chance to comply by saying something like "you have one shot to come with my voluntarily. If you don't, I'll show you out." If the person doesn't immediately comply, they "get" to use enough force necessary to move the passenger from the area. I kinda think they look forward to it. Airport policing seems like really boring business.

Yep...Lunken is home to a lot of business jets such as P&G etc. Was driving by Lunken today when I noticed a KY ANG C-130 loading up. I had hoped to see a take-off...but, I was running short on time and I had to leave before they did. Also, Bengals fly into Burke...if they aren't on a 767 like this past week.

The way the Bengals are playing this season they deserve that old DC-3 from Major League.... or the bus from Major League.

That point wasn't missed. The reply to that point was that it doesn't take genius to know that the FTer was talking about Detroit.

DET is used to refer to Detroit in various corporate contexts, even as DET is indeed not a city or airport code commonly used by the airline and civil aviation community to refer to a Detroit airport.

still baffled what *your* point is. Do you think nineworldseries didn't realize that the poster meant Detroit? Or, because it's so obvious that they meant Detroit, that there's NO HUMOR to be found

As long as folks are being pedantic: DET actually is a valid IATA code for the Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport in Detroit (which hasn't had commercial service since 2000). I believe it is still active for general aviation. (And yes, we all know the poster meant DTW.)
