Once again I would be very wary about judging what the real story here is only having seen one side represented. I have had a couple of occassions over the past few months where I have had passengers escorted off my aircraft. I don't give a sh*t who you are, you have to act like a reasonable and responsible adult when onboard an aircraft. I am sick of groundstaff saying to me 'there is a passenger at the gate who is drunk and a bit agressive but we have talked to him and he has promised to be good'. I am sorry but if you can't control yourself to be 'not' drunk at the gate then you are not coming onboard my aircraft. When has it becoming acceptable to be a 'little' bit intoxicated onboard. As for passengers who argue with crew over all sorts of things I also don't have much sympathy, just because air travel has become low cost doesn't give people the right to treat staff like crap. If someone like this 'tool' is causing the crew to devote time to sorting him out then why should the airline carry him, it is not fair on the crew, other passengers etc. He needs to sit where he has been asked, or atleast ask before moving and then don't get all 'uppity' when pulled up on it.
