1. Saw that yesterday but there were no details on what happened.
Wonder if she was drunk or trying to stuff a steamer trunk into an overhead bin?

2. I think the airline is afraid of a lawsuit...

HOUSTON — The wife of the pastor of the nation's largest church was asked to leave a plane after she failed to comply with a flight attendant's instructions, the FBI said Tuesday.

The flight was delayed more than an hour while the Osteens' luggage was retrieved, Garcia said. The family took another flight to Colorado, where church spokesman Don Iloff said they were skiing Tuesday. Iloff called the disagreement with the flight attendant "minor" but would not say what happened.

"In semantics, they might have been asked to be removed," he said. "Really, it was more of a mutual thing."

Continental spokeswoman Julie King would not discuss the disagreement but said in a statement that the situation was resolved.

3. The brief synopsis I saw yesterday said
she found some kind of liquid spilled on her seat in first class, and asked that it be cleaned up, and apparently it was not cleaned to her satisfaction.

Beyond this, if I tried to go into details, I fear I would confuse the actual article with my fellow DUers' editorial comments. Let's just say some were "amusing," and not at all improbable.

10. Heehee
I just love to see smug people get in trouble. Any sensible person would have just shut up and not worried about some tiny problem. To say nothing of how she is rich beyond most people's wildest dreams. Of course, ignore all that stuff Jesus was supposed to have said about being humble, giving all you have to the poor--I've got a drink all over me! Help! :wow:

Yes, I am taking pleasure in another person's misfortunes.

Sue me.

:P
