Uh oh. US Airways got “American Idol” winner Scotty McCreery pretty riled up today (this tweet is as close to seething as you’re going to get from the mild-mannered teenager).
One fan urged a lighthearted response:
@ScottyMcCreery @USAirways @BradPaisley You should make a new single, The Trouble With Planes"

(That’s a play on McCreery’s hit song, “The Trouble With Girls.”)
One young lady brought out the Mean Girl tactics for the airline:
I cant believe yall didnt let SCOTTY MCCREERY board the plane. I hope ya realize that theres 574.9K McCreerians that WONT fly –>@USAirways

McCreerians just doesn’t have the same ring as Beliebers.
US Airways tried to make amends:

And all apparently ended well, judging by a tweet posted this evening:
