I agree. Airlines treating their paid passengers like dirt is hardly news, is it?
Ann Coulter is 6 feet tall. She went online and prepaid for a seat with extra legroom and was shunted off to a shorter seat so some little lady could sit in her prepaid assigned one. When asked why she was being treated this way, the flight attendant said "I don't know".
But this isn't news - airlines consider their passengers cattle (that's a flight attendant in the blue shirt)
Thats a vintage shot of when CattleCar Air Ways A.K.A. Southwest Air just got “off the ground”. If you could deal with the hot shot in your ass 2 or 3 times before you found your seat , the flight was usually pretty good.
