Agreed the thread I read said that the entire crew refused to fly when they allowed the guys on the plane again.
They had to get another crew to fly it, and then the people started getting off the plane even as the flight attendent tried to bully the passangers to sit down.
Enough people got off the flight for them to cancel the flight.
Do not have the time to check this out right now but it should be easy enough to find out if that particular flight ( Air Tran #297) was canceled or just delayed.
