If a flight attendant told you that all 8 Black men on a flight needed removed and no one else…
Your first question would be if they were all a single group and what they did.
If the answer is “No, they’re all unrelated and each of them smells offensive”…
It’s your fault if you just rubber stamp it. Especially when the solution is they just hang out at the airport and then join another flight a couple hours later.
Like, even if it was a real problem, the “solution” doesn’t fix anything.
That’s how you should be able to tell the whole thing is bullshit.
You’re missing the point. Flight attendants face near constant abuse from passengers. Maybe 1 in 3 flights I’ve been on I’ve personally observed it. Having the authority to remove passengers is the one modicum of power they have left. Removing it would make them punching bags. If it were routinely abused, then sure. But it isn’t. This is one racist idiot

But the point is there’s no one who questions them. That’s the way it should be.
Edit: one incident doesn’t mean we should rethink an entire system
You’re missing the point.
If just one flight attendant can boot passengers, and there’s no oversight, then there is no system in place.

Funny how the answer is always more bureaucracy
