I once had a customer like that. Had to sit in meetings with him regularly, take him to dinner, etc... Very heavy guy, wheezed when he talked, sloppy dresser, stank of terrible BO. He presented himself as the owner, which puzzled me.
I learned later he was only a minor partner, and other partners eventually succeeded in buying him out / getting rid of him, for other issues besides just the B.O. Never fully understood why he was allowed to have a "public-facing" job, even if he was a relative of the company founder.
My best guess is that at least a couple of them stunk to high heavens. It is quite possible they planned on smelling horrid just to get rich suing the airlines.
I can’t blame anyone that is stuck in a tube 38,000 feet in the air for hours with a bunch of skunks for wanting them removed.
