Passenger Dragged Off Of U.S. Airlines Flight!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Their customer charter actually states overbooking passengers cannot be removed by force..
hello; Interesting. This does not match a story I read a couple of days ago. I provided a link some posts back.
I personally do not know one way or the other for sure. Perhaps there is a difference from the charter and the laws?
 
Just that the employee was going to chicago from Louisville and its a 4 hr drive. I dont see how what they did could be justified.
 
here is the rub, having a ticket on any flight does not any way shape or form say you will get to your destination on that flight. only they will get you there. Also, airlines are not bound by any fed or state laws, they can remove you for any reason or no reason. legislatures have tried over and over to get bills past against this over the years and they never make it to the floor.

perhaps the next one will after this.
 
also to note, when they offer you x amount of money to give up your seat, this is not in cash but a travel voucher, cap on that is 1350.00.

In exceptional circumstances, i believe flexibility should be allowed. If the person on duty cannot make the decision, he should refer the request to someone who can decide, especially if the amount is not too far off from the cap.

At hindsight, chartering a private jet for the 4 persons is so much cheaper
 
point being as a flight traveler, you have no rights, none, if they say you got to get off, you have to get off. end of story. and as was seen, they will remove you, no mater whether you trump or mother Teresa or doctor that has a rather checkered past.

his past is irrelevant.. the point is they should never have boarded - they are allowed under the denial of boarding rules to deal with overbooking ... they are not legally allowed to physically eject you for that specific reason once boarded and seated
 
again yes they are, this brings up the legislature as I posted before concerning air lines. He refused to leave, then he can be physically removed. Not saying its right. Just the Arline is with in its rights to do so. I be-leave this wrong myself, and it needs to be lawfully changed.

Lol!!! You get asked to leave, you don't. Now you're an unruly passenger, THAT'S why you get removed. Perfectly legit. I don't think the law needs changing. Maybe airline policy.
