BS. Only those who have retired, or those who are on welfare have the time to allow for day or more delay for the convenience of the airlines. If they want to deny boarding to people with a ticket, especially a NON-CANCELABLE ticket, they need to keep raising the incentive ($) until they are able to convince people to give up their seat(s).
But I believe our great lawmakers in collusion with the airlines made this illegal.

Well, yes, I agree. However I think we should note that not all tickets are non-refundable, or without penalty. I recognizes I may pay less for a non-refundable ticket. And that a more frequent flyer with no penalty may be a better customer. But why does the government limit my compensation should I be kicked out of my seat? IMO, the first to be kicked off should be those who have no non refundable $ in the game. Which might be the airlines best customers, which should be irrelevant under the law. Which should be changed. Throwing someone out a paid for seat, damages shouldn't be limited in an unreasonable way. Which 4 or 5 times the ticket is.
I’m with you on this, ml.
In any other realm of business, I pad-for ticket would comprise a contactl. You breach your end of the deal, you pay. Simple.
