What’s the matter with people today? If I had been on that plane, I would have given my seat to a Scout. I bet others would have, too.
Go Scouts!

I almost always am willing to volunteer - used to be a free ticket anywhere in continental US - now I think it is a $ voucher for some amount. Delta must not have offered enough of an incentive?

I have had to deal with United in April and again in June and July as connections for overseas flights. The overbooking, cramped airlines and TSA checking people as they are boarding is getting tiresome. If I can avoid United I do.

The irony here is that air travel is now no more luxerious than bus travel. You just get there a little faster...sometimes.

Here in NZ bus travel is often more luxurious with plenty more leg room. Sometimes faster, depending on weather.

Yep me too. Makes me wonder how many seats they were short and if Delta even bothered to ask the passengers to let the scouts on. Bet if Delta would have explained the situation to the other passengers the scouts would have found more than enough seats.

It’s a cult classic and worth a view. The story reminded me of that quote.
