Sounds like they can only do that if they've hit the comp floor. Which sounds like it should have been $1350? Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Overbooking is a horseshit business model but they still ultimately have the right to piss off a few customers if they feel it's worth it. As for the doctor, once he refused to get off, he got what he had coming. What choice did they have at that point other than forcibly removing him? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

And they legally have the right to physically remove you from your seat if they over booked their flight? Man, gonna look for that in the flight information next time.

That's not even counting the obvious point about not doing this after everyone had boarded or not raising the comp for the entire plane when they knew the guy didn't want to leave. |

The truth of the matter is that big corporations feel that they can do whatever they want and face no repercussions. To a great extent, that's true. It's why I like dealing with small businesses wherever I can.

They handled it horribly at every turn, but that doesn't give a person the right to stay on board when they've been ordered off.
