Family Kicked Off Southwest Flight After Father Tweeted Complaint

Agent demanded tweet be deleted before they could re-board

A family was asked to de-board Southwest flight 2347 from Denver to Minneapolis on Sunday, following the father tweeting a complaint about a "rude" gate agent.

Duff Watson had received priority seating on the flight, but his two children had not, and were not allowed to board with him. He told a local CBS station that the tweet was something to the effect of "Wow, rudest agent in Denver. Kimberly S, gate C39, not happy @SWA."
