Interesting video - what struck me most was the total *idiot* who obviously grabbed his bag fom the overhead, tossed it down the shute, then stopped at bottom of chute to stamp on his papers flying all around. Moron. Trolley Dolly should never have let the imbecile push that bag out the door. Are SWA pax required to have an upper limit to their IQ before they can buy a ticket?
