JD--thanks for posting your experience and for providing up to date info while on island. I have to think other people on your flight were giving those three the big stink eye!! Glad you personally didn't miss your connection. Man, if I had missed my connection because of that situation, I would not have been happy! Did the flight attendant have any clue why the people were allowed to board in Atlanta?

So glad you were ultimately able to get home OK.
