"From the evidence of the story (which is all we have) the only one who made a scene was the stewardess."

And I'm sure she did it to relieve all that stress she was under. "Man, I'm soooo stressed out, I think I'll arbitrarily kick that dude off the plane for no real reason at all...that will fix everything.

Well, I can't say for sure if this episode offered any stress relief, but it obviously "fixed everything" for the unruly passenger. He was concerned about how long it was taking to close the overhead bins. Once he was summarily booted off the plane, any delay in closing the overhead compartments simply wasn't a problem for him any more. The flight attendant solved his issue completely.

Lesson of the Day #1: Don't cheese off the flight attendants. The pilots listen to them, and will probably take action accordingly.

Lesson of the Day #2: New Yorkers are not exempt from Lesson #1 above.
