Thank you TT. If this is what truely happened, then hell yeah, he deserved what he got.
Now, I'm going to put the question again. If the only thing this guy did was slow clap and make a smart @ss comment (as was reported at the start of the thread), did he really deserve to be denied travel? If so, there is a LOT of behaviour that is displayed in the departures lounge that could lead to the same thing (Including the guy yelling at Maxalt down the phone!!). There are going to be those of you that can sit there and say "Yeah, the guy caused a ruckus etc.......screw him". Let's not deny that. However, if the decision was solely based on what started the thread, that can quite easily be interpreted as a bruised ego on a power trip.
And Maxalt,
You might be lucky and get away with it some of the time, but the chances are equally good you're going to meet me, or someone like me, who will not tolerate any bull!!!! and will disembark you at the first whiff of trouble.
You got any kids? Do you make them call you Captain? Or just Sir?
