This article is bad and has crappy sources.

"I didn't want to cause a scene, so when they asked if I wanted something, I didn't reply." Such a stupid thing to say. Of course they're going to ask again.

"When asked again, I called them a Waiter". So much for not causing a scene. This person is not reliable.

I'll wait for the video, thank you very much.

The "apology from the airline and 10,000 miles" was a form letter to every passanger with reimbursement. They didn't apologize to him. They apologized to everyone for the disrupted flight.

We also only have his side of the story. I wouldn't trust any single one of the assholes that are disruptive on planes. They always lie and think they're in the right.

I'm not even defending American. I hate that airline. I'm just morally opposed to bad journalism
