Some additional detail:
Officers escorted a man and his girlfriend off a plane after he became upset when his seat was double-booked, and five other passengers were removed when they protested his treatment, airport police said Tuesday.
The incidents occurred Monday evening as Spirit Airlines Flight 868 was boarding at Los Angeles International Airport for a trip to Dallas, according to Officer Rob Pedregon.
The couple was offered two other seats together on the same plane, but the male passenger remained unruly and police were called, Pedregon said.
“The man was not happy,” Pedregon said. “He got irate and started to raise his voice.”

Such a gentlemanly example. /s
Boarded a flight. A woman with a baby was in my assigned seat. Attendant asked me to pick another seat. I did and got a free drink for not making a fuss.
Moral of the story: Acting White pays.
