You seem very defeatist in all of your comments on this thread. You are right that they can lie and claim lots of things to say the person needs to be removed. It's pretty easy to hold them to account, and consumers have had no trouble suing airlines successfully when necessary. In the case of "weights and balances", if they falsely remove you for that reason and put some other crew member they need to move on instead, that seems like it would be pretty easy to show is bullshit. |

Because you are posting ridiculous comments implying that people have a bunch of rights to do things on a airplane that will end up landing them in jail or with big fines.
Step back and remember that you’re still on private property and the government has taken obscene steps in the industry to protect safety at all costs. There are very narrow rights you have with regard to monetary renumeration which you should leverage whenever you get the chance.
However, refusing to leave a plane when being asked to by the staff is always a losing move. There are no clear punishments for the airline and there are significant outs (“passenger was being unruly”).
> remove you for that reason and put some other crew member they need to move on instead, that seems like it would be pretty easy to show is bullshit.
Not if they bring the crew on, get them seated in jump seats, and then state that some people need to be removed.
This can happen even without manifest changes. If a significant storm pushes into the arrival airport when getting ready to depart it may delay the flight and alter fuel requirements for alternate airports. I’ve been on flights where they had to ask people to deplane in exchange for vouchers just to fly with the seats empty to offset weather range requirements.
