You’re blaming the victim with this non-sequitur. There’s no economically justifiable reason for overbooking. They keep the profits they planned on by having a no-refund policy for no-shows. (if not, why not?) A seated passenger should NEVER be removed for another. The disruptions, luggage, a smooth start to the crowded flight are all impacted. It’s 297 miles from Chicago to Louisvilee. A charter plane or rental car would’ve gotten the employees to Louisville in plenty of time.
The airlines do everything for profits.
It’s interesting though, these are the same companies for profit who rain down jet exhaust on all these major cities as they take off and land 24/7, and no one below receives a penny for being dusted around the clock.
It isn’t his plane.
Flying is a privilege, not a right.
Nothing entitles him to refuse to get off the plane.
Could it have been handled better? Maybe.
Once the cops are called, it’s over. Flipping out about things
after that point will only get you hurt. You may beat
the rap but you won’t beat the ride.
KungPao Doctor Man does not make the rules on any airline I ever heard of.
