physically ejected off the plane
On a recent trip I was physically ejected off
the plane by airline staff. I am interested in people who had similar problems with the
airlines; what was done by them; and what
was resolved. I think it is a shame in this
day and age that consumers have to tolerate
this type of behavior by major corporations.

I'd also be very curious to the particulars of the case. While I have not personally been ejected, I have seen it happen. Sad to say, the incidents that I observed did not merit ejection, in my opinion. The "air rage" is not limited to customers, I feel the cases that I observed, it was the crew lashing out their frustrations, but impacting an individual.
I take special care to be nice, and say thank you. Sometimes it helps! Be careful with your opinions while on board, they can be misconstrued, misinterpreted, and then mis- directed leading to ejections.

What response would you like?
Case 1: Your fault
Being drunk, or unruly, or nude, or hitting too hard on the stu, or talking about bombs, or sitting in the wrong section and refusing to move, etc...Then I commend the major corporation and also feel it is a shame that customers have to put up with such shameless other customers!
Case 2: Overbooked
Too many reasons and combinations to say.
Case 3: Airline employees drunk, disorderly, with a case for people "like you??". This case is quite unusual, but if it is the case then I suggest you go to court, or at least the FAA.
Again what kind of response did you expect to get??? Double posting for your benefit, not ours, is not too cool.

Arturo, please don't post such funny messages during working hours. It is very difficult to convince people I am doing serious research on the internet when I am laughing my head off.
