I saw two African American females fighting over luggage and screaming curse words at each other this weekend at Houston-Hobby Airport. No security anywhere. Other African American travelers looked embarrassed.

Is Spirit Airlines charging People based on Race now? They Charge Passengers for everything else.

After this, perhaps they should.

Feral silverbacks I’m sure. What else could it be, it’s a DTW to ATL flight. Tells me all I need to know, don’t even need their names.

If airlines persist in treating passengers like cattle, then that is the sort of clientele they are going to attract.

No they were trying to distance themselves and gave off a vibe of “that is not me.”

Let me guess; the attackers were wearing MAGA hats, had blonde hair, blue eyes and overall Nordic features.

They were no doubt "incited" by President Trump to attack these airline employees.

Oh wait... Detroit to Atlanta. Nevermind. Nothing to see here. Moving on.

Within a week or so; these attackers (under advisement of their public defender) will claim that the employee hurled a 'racial epithet' at them, hence the attack was simply "self-defense".

I hope you are being sarcastic. Asking a passenger to verify that their carry-on luggage meets the designated size limit is not "treating passengers like cattle."
