I am a frequent traveler and would have no problem being off loaded by an airline that does not check the visa status of their passenger.

Keep in mind transit agreements between
countries are changing. Yes the airlines are
required to ensure you have proper visas
and transit documents to ensure the pax
are not deported from the 1st point of entry
into another country. The deportation
can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Quite frankly I need my retirement and other
benefits, instead of mulling around for work.
