I have a close friend who is in the cockpit for a major American airline. Although most of the people he flies with are normal, nice folks - he tells me that there are some really bizarre little Napolean complexes in the Captain's seat for some flights. You're better off not knowing that some of these people are in charge of your life sometimes.

This story doesn't so much tell us about all this power they have to kick you off the plane. It should illuminate the craziness of the people to whom that power has been given.
