Kevin Smith made it clear that he flew one way just fine, then was kicked off on the return flight--in front of all passengers and after his luggage was already stowed. This is an arbitrary BS rule.

Perhaps it's time you made your seats the right size to accommodate the American passengers you're selling to.
