That mortgage clause may be wrong but that does not make it fraudulent. Yeah passing a law will help more government is always the answer. Especially when it imposes your desires and will on someone else. I support overbooking. It always for the airlines to make more money which means cheaper flights.
You have the power of the law on your side. It’s called “ contract law” and competent adults, in this case you and the airline, have a constitutional and common law rights to freely enter into a contract. If you don’t like the terms negotiate better ones or do not enter into the contract. The choice is yours.
Well, we’ll have to disagree.
The legitimate function of government is to prevent the use of force, threat or fraud in one party depriving another of life liberty or property.
Overbooking is fraud, and a fraudulent or otherwise illegal contract cannot be enforced; you can’t sue a hitman for not killing the subject of the contract even if you paid then not file a legal complaint against a meth dealer for selling talcum powder.
