Albany County Executive Dan McCoy tried to use his political influence to board an American Airlines flight after missing his boarding call while getting Chick-fil-A. Despite mentioning his title, the airline staff did not reopen the doors. McCoy and a staffer later booked a different flight. No public funds were used for the trip, said McCoy’s spokesperson.
