lol, nice Smartass remark. Maybe you're reading comprehension just is on level with a first grader though.
1) your facts presented were completely irrelevant. Quoted already, a minor is not involved.
2). You presented a cost of delaying a ticket holder, we weren't talking about 2-4 hour delays, it was an overnight delay.
You then go on to post a link, which again shows your failure to fully comprehend. The link states "art of the problem, at least, comes from the often-overlooked policy that allows airlines to stop passengers from boarding a plane if it's overbooked. You agree to it when you book your tickets."
We aren't discussing them stoping him at the gate. We are discussing them dragging him out of his seat. Your research just got you an F
So, to get on your high horse to make the quoted comment just shows you're a dick which can't comprehend the full context in which this has gone Down. My entire stance, noted here already but too complex for you, is once he boarded this situation goes out of protocol. Don't let context lengthier tha. A dr sues book confuse you.
Disclaimer: if this happened at the gate, the passenger deserves anything coming in my mind. They allowed him to board. In legal transactions, the moment they scan his ticket and allow him to go down the ramp, they are accepting him as a passenger. Up UNTIL that point I fully understand all the airplane bumpi g rules as they are.
