    I wonder if JetBlue’ll try to bill him the $20k to repack it, or if they’ll just eat it.

      Airlines are greedy shitbags but…hell yeah they should bill him.

      Fuck you, dude! Your selfish little hissy fit caused issues for a LOT of innocent people.

      Throw the book at people who fuck around on airplanes.
