According to TMZ, an intoxicated man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after getting into a fight with police when he was denied boarding by Delta Air Lines.
"Police were called and they tried escorting him out of the terminal, but when they all got to the bottom of the escalator, he attacked an officer," said the report. "The man struggles with LAX police officers for several minutes as they try subduing him."
The incident reportedly occurred on Thursday night.
"I'm not going to comply until you tell me why," the man says in the video. "... because of people like you. You ruined my f*cking night, dude. You ruined my whole f*cking day, bro. Now I have to travel a whole other day." .............(more)

On WGN news a few months back, they reported that United (based here) was honoring the flight bans from other airlines.
Not sure how many other carriers have such agreements.
So sad for this drunken jerk.

(64,968 posts)Delta, American, Southwest & NWA were specifically mentioned in that report.
I still don't know if those other carriers are doing the same.
But, United won't take him in Delta banned him.

(9,998 posts)But those cops were looking to shoot someone. Walking through store with weapons drawn. And the person had actually assaulted someone. This guy was just a drunk asshole.
