" The author of this piece made a specific legal citation."

Of which neither she nor you even read it, did you? Did you? You didn't, so shut up and read it then apologize for being an ignorant and lazy poster.

Here is that legal citation that you and the author didn't read but quote.

14 CFR 250.2a - Policy regarding denied boarding.

In the event of an oversold flight, every carrier shall ensure that the smallest practicable number of persons holding confirmed reserved space on that flight are denied boarding involuntarily.

NOTHING in that regulation stipulates anything that you have said. It says the smallest practicable number, not "no one", shall be denied boarding involuntarily.

The flight wasn't oversold, and the dude was not denied boarding, he was already on the plane. They wanted to removed paying, seated passengers to make room for employees.

First rule of holes applies to you here. Also, you still haven't answered what aspect of Rule 21 applied here, as I asked on another thread.

Oh, and I would stop the insults as well, given how many posters have shown how off your points are. Your ignorance appears to be deliberate, given how you attempted to apply a section used to deny boarding to justify removing someone who was already boarded, on a flight that was not oversold.
