You are probably thinking of the guy forcefully dragged off a United flight because they were bumping him off the flight so their own employees could take his seat, which was an entirely different situation.
Okay, you may be right... No wonder there was a huge and outraged stink if he was forcefully removed from his United Airlines seat so an Employee could get his seat that he paid for/was comped for... United Airlines deserved every rant they received for that one!

The Southwest one is scummy too. Forcefully removing someone just because he blasted a rude Southwest Employee on Social Media... And LYING about the reason he was removed!
