- strictnein 10y agoAnd probably eliminates everyone flying with multiple people on the same reservation.
- metasean 10y agoThe article mentions the first two people asked to leave were a couple flying together.
- strictnein 10y agoOh, interesting. I just kept picturing them requesting a child to leave on their own, or some other insanity.
- Macha 10y agoA couple were asked to leave first. Maybe for reservations of >4?

- gerbilly 10y agoThey never said random, they said a computer chose who to bump, probably like this: select name from passengers order by ticket_price desc limit 4;
