You may be a qualified pilot CusCus, we have no way of knowing other than your word, but are you’re an airline pilot who regularly pilots a passenger plane?
If you are, then you would know that the pilot is God on a plane and he or she can remove any passenger if she or he deems it to be the right thing to do and does not have to justify his or her actions to the other passengers.
Someone please remind me when was the last time that a Caucasian blew himself and others up in a suicide bombing. You get loud mouthed and violent drunks creating mayhem and they get treated just the same. If the crew don’t instigate it passenger complaints will get the drunk removed from the plane.

I'n not an airline pilot (too dull, underpaid, interferes with boozing
) but the point that the pilot is God on a plane is true across the board, so yes I am aware of this (should have said so in my 1st post!)
Yes, the passengers were right to voice their concerns and refuse to fly if they want, but I'm not happy with the "either they go off the plane or we do" attitute which seems to have prevailed. Very much in agreement with your comment about the press.
