I was traveling on company business and was pulled from a flight in OMA. I was flying "positive space" but it didn't seem to matter. I hung out at the tiny airport for about 5 or 6 hours waiting on the next MDW flight. I still have the refrigerator magnet bought at the gift shop!

While returning from my mother's funeral in Oklahoma our names were called but we were told to stay put - that we may or may not be needed. They just wanted us to be put on notice. I told them we were on "positive space" (a courtesy extended under such circumstances) but not the reason. A few minutes later they came to the back where we were seated, they had pulled our PNR to "unboard" us and noticed the reason for our trip. We were told to stay in our seats and that we would never be pulled under such circumstances. And, we weren't!
