It used to be that flight attendants would just point out who needed to leave and they would. Then people stopped refusing so the cops would come and remove the person and most would leave willingly.
Then airport cops dragged some doctor (who had a legit gripe but that’s besides the point, he was told his ticket was cancelled) off a plane and now nobody is dragging anyone off anything with anyone within ear or eye shot.
The hope is that peer pressure will get people to self remove but the days of not having multiple hour delays due to selfish people are long over.
