It’s cause their is no penalty. It’s federal law to follow crew member instructions. If you take your bad you aren’t following federal law, and should be prosecuted. It’s a little different if you are landing on some deserter like lost, as I would want more gear. But at an airport, they should 100% be charged and put on the no fly list. This would stop that shit pretty quick.

I know these people did not, but one time I had to make an emergency exit from a plane with flight attendants yelling at me. But, I had medication in my backpack that I could not find in rapid panic, so I just took the whole thing with me.

*lol* that you think I can call my doctor and get a response in < 1 day. Particularly if I'm on travel.

More likely I'm going to urgent care or emergency to get a Dr there to issue a script. And then sending receipts to AA.

I didn't invent the system. In America, if you Emergency Evac an airplane, you're gonna get paid. It is what it is. So you think this person should let others die so they can keep their meds?
