Not really. It's all on video. Cop kept saying "your tickets are cancelled, you no longer have a ticket. If you don't leave this area you'll be arrested."Seems like a "there's more to that story" scenario.Love the videos all over Twitter now of SW sending the cops in to threaten to arrest people waiting in lines at the Nashville airport. Should work out for them.
He specifically said that SW had called them. They were apparently trying to move people to the non-secured side of the airport using this made-up BS. Point is, not a good look for SW, which probably goes out of business soon. Why would anyone ever fly with them again?
Yeah my first thought when I clicked on the video was that it was probably some embellished nonsense with a well timed start to the video, but it really wasn't.
I mean, I can KIND of see the logic stretch that the cop is using there, in that you have to have a ticket to be past security and when your flight is canceled and not re-booked you no longer have a ticket so you have to leave the secured area, but even if that's the way the law is intended to work (I'm not sure if it is or not) it's never worked that way in practice. Any time a flight has been canceled you try to get it taken care of from within the secured area. I've never heard of people being required to leave back to the other side of security for that.
I'm guessing the SW gate people just go overwhelmed with all the people and were trying to move a bunch of people they knew they wouldn't be able to help out of the way so they could board the flights that actually were operating. But yeah, not a good way to do that.
