Irate passengers confronted Spirit employees at the ticket line in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International after they were told their flights had been cut.
Some passengers arrived from the airplane on which they had been waiting and confronted airport staff. As the situation became heated, members of the Broward Sheriff's Office stepped in.
Video footage shared on social media shows chaos between passengers and the police. One person is seen being roughly brought to the ground by deputies. Another is dragged away by law enforcement. A number of passengers were handcuffed.
"There were several people there that were upset," Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Gina Carter told ABC News. "We were called in to just make sure that things were kept from getting very unruly."
Carter wouldn't say if anyone was arrested, but CBS reported three people were arrested and one person was detained at the airport.
As many as 300 Spirit flights have been cancelled over the last week. Spirit is blaming its own pilots and is suing them in court. The lawsuit, filed Monday, blames the pilot's union, Airline Pilots Association, International (ALPA), for the pilot unavailability.
Spirit says the pilots are turning down last minute assignments and that union members are intimidating other pilots to follow suit. The pilot union, which anticipated the legal action before Friday, told members to work.
According to the lawsuit, the airline cancelled 81 flights on Sunday.
"These pilots have put their quest for a new contract ahead of getting customers to their destinations and the safety of their fellow Spirit Team Members," said Spirit Airlines spokesman Paul Berry.
However, an APLA spokesperson told CNN: "Rather, ALPA and the Spirit pilots are continuing to do everything possible to help restore the company's operations, which have experienced significant problems over the past several days."
See here now, there is no need for pilots right now! People wake up! These planes are all now fly by wire, they were designed to be remotely flown! That's been the leading argument since 9/11, that the remotely enabled planes were flown in to the buildings, not flown by the hijackers or anyone on board.
So now what do we see...costly employees that are un-needed, and so to get rid of them, to enable you the public to embrace the idea of boarding a giant RC Airplane, well you have to suffer right> and so now how does that all take place?
Are you getting the drift? This is one example of long term planning towards goal oriented results which are the bread and butter of the billionaries whom own these corporations. Doing things like this is called leveraging. They are using your public outrage at being left sleeping on sidewalk as a means to enable another objective. Get It?
Start thinking about leveraging and eventually your mind will come to grasp all these crazy events as logical parts to another objective.
Of course there's more going on here than just this. See the handling of the passengers. Your the dog and dogs mind. Got it? They own the dogs, you don't own yourself, they own you.
