Blah Blah Blah.
God, its like everyone here doesn't fly AT ALL. Before you post, go do some heavy flying for a few weeks around just the US. You know what you will find? ALL AIRLINES HAVE INCONSTANT POLICY'S! SWA is no exception, its just more polite PR.
The captain must of had a hard on for Kevin and wanted him off the plane. This is the ONLY consistent policy all airlines have. The Captain has the final say on what/who goes on the plane. Maybe Kevin said something that annoyed him, maybe the Captain was pissed of he was fat, heck, maybe he saw one of his movies and waned a "Refund" I am not arguing this is necessarily a bad policy as he IS responsible for the plane, its just annoying how he made this his "justification" Now Southwest is playing 52 card pickup from Kevin's deck. (I really hate calling somone I don't personaly know by his first name, but Mr. Smith seems kind of matrixy)
I have seen kids ejected from the plane just on the off chance they will scream and even some disabled people not allowed because of "safety" concerns. Hell, months after 9/11 I have seen women not allowed on planes because of wearing a hijab. No news story, they just get another ticket and get on the next one.
People want cheap fares so you get what you pay for. Inconsistent policy's, small seats, a reactionary PR and no more peanuts.
PS - I have personalty went to the headquarters many times and flew on several flights. SWA is by far the best of the bunch, but I am not going to say issues don't happen with them.
