I think forced off the plane is misleading. People will automatically think of the United case.

Hmm, maybe they where afraid of getting United attention if they removed passengers who where already on, so they went with keeping off the last passengers no matter what.
I'm not who you think I am.

Honestly I would have understood the reference in the title except that I heard this lousy joke recently.

A Rabbi From Spain, Just Before Passover, Alarmingly Telephones A Rabbi From Isreal, To Notify Him Of A Shortage Of Chrain (Horseradish).  The Rabbi From Isreal Resassures Him Not To Worry, He Will Send The Needed Chrain To Spain.  When The Rabbi From Spain Does Not Receive His Chrain, He Telephones The Rabbi In Isreal.  The Rabbi From Isreal Says I Am Sorry To Inform You, We Have A Major Air Plane Strike In Isreal.  Unfortunately At This Time, “THE CHRAIN FOR SPAIN IS MAINLY ON THE PLANE.”

I'd use Madrid instead of Spain in the title, simply because Spain and plan rhymes, which isn't suppose to happen unless you are writing poetry

Why would this be picked up by MSM anymore than the other cases like this on the web?
Well, it first depends if other main boarding area blogs will pick it up. And even then, no one here thinks it's gonna get the attention the story with United and the Dr got but to a certain extent, at least that IB should feel uncomfortable enough to take it serious, and make sure it doesn't happen again it should be picked up.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Dan, IB has still not responded to your follow-up questions?

Anyone voting against the play on words title should be stranded in Spain.

Your final sentence about time for laws against bumping minors needs to be stressed and expanded (especially since we hope and expect this story to go viral).

I would suggest doubling for children under 10 or seniors over 80. Quadrupling (or more) if no one in the travel party is between the ages of 18 and 75, tripling if any passenger in the travel party is disabled.

Those multipliers should be cumulative (and were only given as possible examples).
And maybe also include a warning to parents sending their kids on a flight, to be wary of airlines that won't protect them from situations like this...
