Bottom Line Up Front: I was a "Fly Thru" from Indianapolis to Tucson, just the other day and after the 6 hour flight pass in San Diego: was told while the plane was being cleaned, feel free to go out and stretch your legs - it shall be a good 45 minutes. Well shoot - I'm going to the lounge which was 30 feet from the gate - right. Ugh - I paid extra for the stupid Southwest cattle call A flight Business A3 Seat 6 hour flight - as I went to get back on boarding call - I was instructed that the "Bartender? " (1 Beverage), had noticed that I was wobbling? What? I told the Southwest Woman that I was a pass thru passenger and was going to Tucson and she reiterated that I was not going onboard due to the Bartender seeing my wobbling? What? I'm a disabled veteran with ironically Gait (gate). OMG. Seriously. I knew not to argue or disrupt; however; of course with my Veteran issues I became overwhelmed and stressed out - anxiety. OMG. Seriously. I was actually taken to a hospital in San Diego not a VA Hospital - for what - I was not drunk or inebrieated? Tested? Freaked Out! Anxiety without my meds yes! OMG - what the Scripps hospital didn't know what to do with me? The Southwest Airlines said I couldn't fly unless a Doctor said in writing I was good to go to fly? But they didn't say that in writing to anyone only the EMS and the Airport Cops. Don't Argue right, be cool. WTF. Who's paying this bill, I had to find a hotel, rebook my flight, put up with the embarassment and HELLO, what was my legal crime - document JUDAS PRIEST Unbelievable - the Doctors at Scripps Hospital in San Diego, CA say they get travelers all the time - well what the heck! What did I do! Thanks for the expense What did I do?
