Enough has been said on this subject already but two different captains did ignore their CCs advice and carry this passenger though I accept what 206cc_jim suggests when he/she may have made the same decision in the captains shoes. Even if the woman should have been offloaded you can just imagine what the press would have made of the situation.....This may well have been the motivation behind the decisions of both captains.
Or if you look at it a different way, two different cabin crew did point to the captain that they thought the pax should be offloaded. The rest of the passengers MUST come first.
