The other misconception is the flight was over-booked. It wasn't over-booked, they had the exact number of seats sold as passengers. The seats to be vacated were for Airline employees traveling on standby. So the airline called in the police to settle a business decision, to remove paying customers so that standby airline employees could have their seat. So the airline might of had the legal right to remove a passenger from an over-booked flight, but the flight was not over-booked. They removed 4 paying passengers for 4 standby employees.

BTW, I take it you have never vacationed in the Florida panhandle or anywhere on the Gulf coast for that matter. The courts have already stated that BP Was Grossly Negligent In 2010 Oil Spill.

Pensacola Beach before BP, one of the most beautiful in the World.



After BP, would you swim on this beach?
