Unfortunately, and to my honest disliking, as an airline employee, the policy of most airlines, is luggage, before passengers. I don't understand it, either. My station manager, at the airport I work at, tells us to take bags off, and send passengers, if a flight will be overweight, but most managers/supervisors will not go against the policy.
If you guys were removed from the flight, due to the flight being overweight, that is considered denied boarding, and you are supposed to receive a voucher, and be rebooked on another flight. You need to call Delta about this incident, if you haven't
