Why shouldn't the passenger's role as a doctor have any bearing? If an airline must choose passengers to disembark, shouldn't doctors (& nurses) be the last people you'd remove?
- FabHK 9y agoBecause the check-in area or airplane is not the place to argue about the relative merits of different professions or importance of appointments. The airline has its criteria (which might include random choice) and is entitled to use them.

- gotothedoctor 9y agoSure; debating is definitely a bad idea. Even if most of us think our needs (/convenience) is more important than everyone else, most of us also appreciate the role that doctors & nurses play. Plus, airlines have rules about literally everything-including wearing leggings. From both a business and a public safety perspective, it would hardly be shocking if an airline mandated that doctors and nurses should be either exempt from removal or the last to be removed. Not sure if you've ever been on a plane where someone has had a serious medical issue when there hasn't been a doctor or nurse on board, but its hardly uncommon. Having a doctor on board decreases risk for an airline--keeping doctors & nurses aboard certainly makes more senses than random choice does or choosing whomever paid the least.
