It appears to have been a series of errors. A group of flight crew needed to be in Louisville, properly rested, in order to operate the next morning's plane. Had they not been able to get there, then many more passengers would have had their plans messed up. The big mistake the airline made was allowing all the fare-paying passengers on board, and then trying to entice enough people off. It would have been far better to conduct the auction at the gate; physically preventing someone boarding is less harmful than dragging them kicking and screaming from their seat.

I have spent every single day since Flight Unlimited II (1997?), and the various Microsoft Flight Sims, touring the whole of the wonderful scenery in the USA, and also watching the Harley Davidson, etc, motorcycle rides around the country on You-Tube.... ...!
The scenery is to die for!.... ....
...unfortunately the folks who live there are also heavily into killing each other, (and probably me), at every opportunity!... ....!
Its actually much safer observing the breathtaking USA scenery from the safety and comfort of my armchair in England!

I can understand how you feel Paul but it really isn't all that bad. There are plenty of places in this country where folks don't even both to lock their doors at night. Here in KAXN for one. I don't own a gun and don't intend to. Don't need one. If some folks say they need protect then maybe they should smarten up and stay out of bad neighborhoods.
During my Navy days I lived in various parts of the country including San Diego, Memphis and Norfolk/Virginia Beach to name a few. Just needed to know where the bad neighbourhoods were and stayed out of them. No sweat!
