Hasnt a thing to do with the fact. He was dragged off that plane because they overbooked it.

Let them try to use this in court and see what happens.

The flight was not over-booked. It was sold out. A full plane of paying ticketed customers with boarding passes.

He wasn't dragged off the plane because they overbooked it, he was dragged off the plane because he threw an out-of-control (drug-induced??) fit and did not obey the instructions of the flight crew ... as all passengers on commercial airliners are required by federal law to do.

I'm not condoning what UAL did, but this man's actions contributed significantly to what happened to him.
