t is true that they have the right to not allow you to board for a long vareity of reasons, but once you have boarded and refuse to voluntarily leave, they cannot physically force you.
There is nothing saying you cannot be removed from your seat unless failure to have ID or unruly.
Nothing in 25 saying you can't be removed...all that has to happen is that he has to have compensation.
Wrong
Boarding Priorities - If a flight is Oversold, no one may be denied boarding against his/her will until UA or other carrier personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservations willingly in exchange for compensation as determined by UA. If there are not enough volunteers, other Passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with UA’s boarding priority:
They had boarded already. Then they were kicked off involuntarily after boarding.
That's a violation of the contract.
You can't allow boarding, THEN kick them off involuntarily because it has oversold.
What part of this don't you understand?
You're right that they could have done this at the gate, and that would have been legal. But they didn't, they screwed up.
I mean I know you think you're super smart and all but the boarding process isn't finished until the door is shut. The boarding process was still happening. It wasn't after boarding. ---
