By no means do people side with passengers all the time. There are thousands of cases per year of drunk, obnoxious, provocative, disruptive, malodorous, or otherwise unsuitable customers being removed from aircraft, and the other passengers generally cheer when they are finally escorted or dragged off.
That twerp who lept from his seat after threatening the attendant should have been removed. He was agressive as well.
And had my wife or daughter been assaulted and battered by an airline employee, I would certainly have hoped that someone would have been equally aggressive in her defense.
I can't wait for my trip to Europe next month. I'm going to sit in business class, even though I paid for the cheap seats, and if asked to move - cry. Or just simply refuse to move. Because it seems when orders from crew are not followed - just refuse.
The part you seem to be missing is that ordering you out of a business class seat for which you did not pay, is an entirely reasonable request.
But what caused it all? Not obeying rules?
In what sense did "not obeying the rules" cause the employee to assault and batter a customer?
