Former senator kicked off flight after rallying passengers against crew
Former New York Senator Al DÕAmato was removed from a delayed New York-bound JetBlue flight Monday after trying to rally passengers against the flight crew. Once the plane boarded, passengers were told that 10 of them needed to move from the front to the back of the plane due to weight distribution. A passenger said six passengers refused and Òthe captain wasnÕt doing anything.Ó She said the former senator got up and confronted the people that refused. After being told to deplane, DÕAmato attempted to rally passengers to stand up and deplane with him. ÒStand up for whatÕs right and walk out with me,Ó DÕAmato said. ÒIf you donÕt, then what do you stand up for?Ó <br/>
