and I don’t care.  The customer was flying standby and even if you’ve boarded, you are subject to the whims of anything when you fly standby.  Don’t want to be subject to that?  Don’t fly standby.

Here is the STORY on the Consumerist blog. 

I don’t care if it was a 14 year old fat kid or a 44 year old giant of a man.  Southwest shouldn’t be apologizing for removing a standby passenger from their flight regardless of their frequent flier status or “normal” procedures.  My opinion would be different if this person wasn’t flying standby, yes, but that isn’t the case here.  In fact, this strikes me as one more spoiled frequent flier lashing out because they didn’t get what they want.
