Airline Is Sued For Kicking U.S. Marine Off The Plane With Disgusting Excuse Former U.S. Marine, Chris Shelley, was kicked off an airplane by American Airlines for being too fat. The woman sitting next to him complained to the flight attendants, and Shelley was escorted off of the plane. Shelley described the airline are treating him as if he was a criminal. He could have switched seats with someone, or even sat in a seat next to no one, as the flight wasnt even full. Shelley flies more than 100,000 miles a year. He is demanding monetary compensation and a sincere apology, with the threat of suing. Should American Airlines issue an apology for their horrible treatment of this veteran?
