also the chants of "he's a Doctor! Kick off a spring breaker!" which is also a very privileged position imho

A rescheduled visit can mean 3 months or more. That's irreplaceable in healthcare terms.

Agreed. I just don't like the idea of ranking the importance of passengers.

I mean that's a totally synthetic position. The fuselage of an airplane doesn't indemnify us from how our society is formed.

Some people's careers are more "important" because their work affects lives directly, sometimes at scale. That's always been the case.

had this guy infiltrated a full plane w/o a ticket, the context would be different. US police not trained in de-escalation just enforcement
