You know I’m just stubborn enough that if they tried to make me leave a plane after I’m seated I’d probably refuse too. I’ve taken their offer of money and a hotel for a layover once but it was while we were still waiting to board. Once I’m on the plane I’d probably refuse to leave too. A lot of people would.
A lot of people think of themselves as the 'center of the universe' and modern wisdom also embraces violence as the default way to resolve conflict.
Not the most rational or adult solution.
That is the heart of the problem, it was not always that way.
