A brawl is always the go-to method for resolving ticketing issues.

3 new yorkers arrested. Apparently they thought they were disrespected and too good to get in line like everyone else.

I think the article posted to describe what happened is just an attempt to obfuscate around the fact that you had a bunch of animals fighting over a canceled flight.

A cancelled flight is no excuse for what you see here, and it certainly isn't the airlines fault.

Not the airlines fault at all. (It does appear the pilots union decided to screw everybody over though). Everyone else was in line due to their cancelled flights, but these asshats thought they could just jump in front of everybody like they used to in the school cafeteria. Some of these guys are still trying to come to grips with being told "no" for the first time, and having "no" enforced.

Damn. Lol

How long was that damn thing going on? By the time that camera starts rolling there are already 40 cops on scene and about a dozen or more cop cars out in the lot out front.

Is it relevant that the boarding line appears to be for Cooba-cooba?!?

It had been going on for a while. (The cancelled flights) The pilots decided not to fly at the last minute, and caused a bunch of cancellations. Which is why people had been streaming to the counter.

another angle.

Check out the beginning of this one. Also There is a nice CNN Report at the end.

Not that anyone flying Spirit, Allegiant, or any other z-budget airline is 'asking for it' when they buy a ticket and get to the airport, but it's not exactly shocking that this went down on a Spirit flight. They're the airline equivalents of Russian roulette, going in the air with them still feels sketchy even when everything goes fine. The fact that it's quite often for them to only fly from one city to another once or twice a week just compounds to the madness, specifically relating to the OP.

Did those folks eat at Dennys before going to the airport?

Spirit Airlines new slogan: People of Walmart at 35,000 feet...
