Public relations aren't the strong point of most airlines, but Southwest took it to an entirely new level recently after a tense incident between a passenger and a rude Southwest gate agent -- which led to hostilities, thinly veiled threats, and forcibly deleted tweets.

A Minnesota man and his two children, ages six and 9, were preparing to board a return flight from Denver to Minneapolis when a gate agent stopped him. The man was in A-class priority boarding, which would allow him to get on the plane before other passengers, but his two small children didn't -- so when they attempted to board the plane with their father, a gate attendant stopped them.
