In the latest on the air wars here in America (airlines abusing their passengers), there is yet another one.
Seems that an aircraft had to stay on the tarmac and wait, so after about 30 min, a guy asked if he could use the restroom. He was told "no" because they were preparing for takeoff and he would have to wait.
Well, apparently, his bladder was about to burst, so he jumped up, went to the bathroom, and went back to his seat. The airline then taxied back to the loading dock and he was kicked off.

Apparently, it's actually an FAA law that says when the remain seated light is on, you actually have to remain in your seat. It's illegal to do otherwise.
So, my question is..................what do you think of this one? Should the guy have wet himself and remained on the aircraft? Should he have been thrown off?
Looks like another thing you should bring with you on the aircraft is a bottle to pee in, so that when they stay on the runway, you don't get thrown off.
Should have taken his piss before getting on the plane.
This one seem more of tha passenger fault and not the crew.
He very well might have, but the problem came when they were stuck on the tarmac for over 30 min. Things have probably changed a great deal since I last flew back in 2002, but I know when we were seated and the door closed, you were only about 10 min. from being in the air and able to move around the cabin.
Things changed a lot. Look I do feel bad for the guy, but if you are told to keep your butt in that seat, well you better or one of those crew members might slap you or call the local security to beat you and then remove you.
My last flight was in 2009 and in Houston I encounter the TSA punk ways and said I would never fly out of Houston ever again.
So today you have to worry about the Airlines Nazis and they can be horrible!
You know, I blame 9/11 and the terror threats that followed it. Not only did it scare the general population, but it also told airlines that they were a front line operator in the war on terrorism, and as a result, the TSA, the flight attendants, etc. all decided that they had more authority and a larger reach than they really do.
