-- It does not matter what United's contract says about compensation for being involuntarily removed. It did not meet its own conditions for a valid reason for involuntarily removing anyone. --

Well, it matters to the extent that his removal is outside of the (Rule 25) contract parameters for being involuntarily removed.

For argument's sake, I conceded that UAL broke the contract, and that once seated, a passenger cannot be involuntarily removed without breaking the contract.

If we take the beating out of the equation, my question to you, one you have refused to address, is "How much money is he (or anybody similarly situated) entitled to when UAL breaks the contract?"

Why take the beating out of the equation? It is now a historical fact and part of the interaction between the parties involved.

Frankly scarlet, I don’t give a damn about how much $$$ for damages.
