2 people just "uninvited" from our flight

I fly standby often, and I have never seen this happen.

OP, it’s possible they were vaping (nicotine). I have seen it happen on planes and at ball games. I’ve never seen anyone get removed because they’ve stopped. Every time it was an employee who noticed- or maybe I didn’t see anyone report them.
A guess.

The gate agents need to monitor what people are bringing on as carryons on the plane. How often have you seen people with practically full size luggage and a huge purse coming on. There should be room for everyone to bring on a standard size carry on.

Wazoo in this context means butt, as in "out their butt".

We had this issue a few years ago when the airline was full and the FA demanded my daughter check her violin. It’s a 10,000 dollar instrument and we were NOT going to check it. She was heading to a major performance. So we walked off the flight. The airline reimbursed us and provided miles as an apology.

It’s not always drugs.

Does a violin case even meet the size limits for carry on?

They probably wanted the seats for someone else. They tried to do that to me once and force us to give up our seat for our child we paid for a standby. I refused as we were flying to a medical appointment and next flight out was the next day and we’d miss the appointment. Thankfully they let our kid have their seat.

It should all be free. It used to be.

This is infuriating.

Agree. They can speed up boarding time by 75% if half the passengers were trying to squeeze their bags in the bins.

Many people do not realize that it is a Federal offense to disobey the direction of cabin crew.

Airlines often don't back them up though, since they make so much money on business/VIP travelers.

It does not take much to get kicked off a flight these days. It could have been refusing to check a bag that doesn't fit or just cussing out the flight attendant. If the airline thinks you're a risk to their schedule, you're going to get kicked off the plane.

Serious question: What's a "wazoo" ?

Serious question: have you ever heard of Google?

Serious question: every time someone asks a question do you tell them to Google it?

Yes.

It’s a very uncomfortable place where you get to put your luggage if overhead is full and you refuse cargo hold.

I literally love gate-checking my bag. Why would I want to be responsible for lugging it on and off and finding a bin for it if I don't have to?
