Can someone please find the information in the article where it said the teenager was late arriving? I can’t find it anywhere. Oh, that’s because people on this thread are making assumptions about what happened and judging this young person unfairly because of their prejudices.

I didn’t say anything about her being late arriving. Th earticle does say, however, that the girl had paid for ONE seat.

Not in the article, but if you know how standby works, then you know: The obese kid was late. Missed the boarding call.

From the article that posted earlier.

A late-arriving passenger required two seats because of her girth.

Actually it sounds like you are letting your feelings get in the way of understanding.

It is QUITE SIMPLE - they gave the standby a seat and put her on the plane -- IE THE PLANE WAS LOADED ALREADY -- this in an of itself says the Teen was LATE, as they would not have given her seat(s) away unless she HAD NOT CHECKED IN ON TIME!

Is it really that hard to understand, or are you willfully ignoring what is Airline policy and simple common since in your haste to berate everyone for being so mean?

She was flying Standby and was seated on the plane.

Everytime I have flown Standbys are Seated last, if he arrived after the Stand bys were ticketed and seated then by definiiton he was.......Late
