Offer better incentives, drive the crew the few hours to their destination, put em on a private flight, buy em tickets on another carrier. All of those choices to solve their staffing issue and they choose to screw over 4 paying customers and assaulting 1 of em in the process. But hey, we just had to "reaccomdate" a few passengers that bought a seat on our plane. What's the big deal?

I'm not sure buying a seat on a plane to get home for work is playing a stupid game but what do I know.

By saying "play a stupid game" I was referring to the guy getting so pissed about it that he was willing to get physical. Sure, there were way better and more sensible options, but like I said, I personally would never have let it get to that point. I would have given them a piece of my mind verbally but gotten off the plane with a free room and some cash in hand. I know $800 isn't a ton of money but it would have been enough for me to feel a little better about it.
